Imo, a movie that accurately depicts the social atmosphere of a modern high school would have bullies from the 90s crying in a corner. High school kids today are fucking brutal with their insults. Also school shootings would have them horrified, because they wouldn't have seen coverage of Columbine

What are you going to do, stab me?

Reminder that the kids that did Columbine were the "nineties bullies."
Didn't they do it in response to being bullied?
Edit: Nope - they didn't.
Shooting up a school is all kinds of fucked up, but I'm not sure I'd call it bullying.
From memory, those kids were known bullies at the school.
Yep - some quick research says I was wrong, and that the bullied part was misinfo.
TIL - thanks!
Why on earth is this down voted?
Eric Harris would fit right in a Hannibal lecter novel.
When I was in school, kids called things gay as an insult. Nowadays kids call things gay as a compliment.
When I was in school, jew & f*ggot were insults. Now, they're GAMER WORDS.™
I have come to regard the "everyone so sensitive today" discourse as literal background chatter because for as long as I can remember people have been saying this. "Ah you could never get away with that today" like yes society does seem to be growing and changing don't it and the sky is up there yet, and the rock's still hard.
Things like that change all the time.
Sure you can't call people a n-word anymore, but at least now black people are allowed to wash their hands in the same wash basin and you can show interracial kisses on TV.
Sure you can't jail people for being gay anymore, but at least they are allowed to be who they are and even adopt an orphan.
Sure you can't hit your wife anymore, but at least they now have the right to vote and can start their own bank account without a mans approval.
We are currently more free than before, just not for a particular group of people.

And he makes himself right at home.
I have two nieces who get bullied at school about different things. One so bad that she is switching to online-only for the next school year.
Anti-bullying my fuckin ass. Schools aren't doing shit other than waving some flags around.

with diversity and inclusion
Important part there. Bullies thrive in plenty of shitty schools today and haven't changed much. Biggest difference is they can now use the internet to further their bullying.

22 jump Street?
It was 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street was college. But yep, my first thought too. They did this pretty well.
Isn't that just present day Republicans?
-Sees shitpost on lemmy
Americans - "Hmmmmm how can I make this about American politics?"
Many countries worldwide are experiencing the neoconservative bully ideology pushing back against progressive inclusivity, not just the USA.

Those are Trump voters in their 50s. They're everywhere. Don't need a movie thanks.
Bit of an extreme but Look Who's Back (German: Er ist wieder da) In 2014, Adolf Hitler wakes up in the Berlin park where his Führerbunker once stood. Disoriented, he wanders through the city, interpreting modern situations from a wartime perspective.
And the scary thing is lots of people supported him. It was filmed like Borat where the parts of him interacting with the general populace are not scripted.

Honestly why the heck did movies in the '80s do nothing but make me absolutely slasher film level terrified of going to high school?
Because your parents' generation thought it was hilarious that your school was turning into a prison.
They really, really did didn't they? My Dad was a teacher and did barely fuck all to reassure me high school would be alright, while I'm talking to him about a TIME magazine article about how we've reached peak bullying and it's scarring children for life. This moment a week before I begin high school.
It didn't go well, not because I was bullied but more likely becsuse my fear response / emotional reactivity had grown massive.
The bullying had leveled off by the time I got to high school. All the really traumatic shit happened in Jr. High.

I wonder how much diversity and inclusion there really is in a school today. Many little kids are dicks, and will always be dicks.
Changes in what the adults tell them is or isn't appropriate won't sway them, they're going to continue to abuse each other and come up with colourful reasons to separate into groups, be it clothing, hair style, gender, skin colour, accent, what flavour of crisps you prefer.... etc.
I am not sure if this is even measurable anymore. A lot of things that happened in the past were not considered bullying. Even really serious stuff.
Additionally, especially when looking at anecdotal evidence, how respectful kids treat each other can be different per school and even for each class.
For a few things we have semi-reliable statistics. For example in Germany the number of knives that are regularly taken from students has significantly increased. Also the number of times schools called the police because they needed help getting a situation under control. But this could also mean there are more extreme single cases. It doesn't necessarily mean the overall atmosphere is more aggressive.

Plot twist: he realizes he was born in the wrong body and wants to be called Karen from now on.
Billy Madison explored this a little bit when he made it to high school. Pretty much any movie where someone goes back to high school does this. 21 Jump Street was mentioned by someone.
I’ve seen three shows basically try to make this joke. Somebody from an earlier time comes to now and can’t adjust to the political correctness. Clone high did it, Futurama did it, and I think another show I watched as well. It’s pretty played out already.
Dr Who did it, but in a very weird way. they made thr first Doctor kinda sexist, which fits the time, but not thr character, because he wasn't really sexist in his time even by our standards.

You just described season 2 of Clone High
It would be the exact same character, except wearing a MAGA hat.
I worry the bully would probably be more accepted in such a situation.
'He only acts like this as a result of intergenerational childhood trauma and fat shaming, he's a good kid at heart'
