Bullying in the Sims 4.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous ideas I've heard! There are many aspects and things that happen in real life that do not and should not be included in this game. Because of how ridiculous this idea is I have to assume the OP was trying to start some sort of war or argument on here. tsk tsk.....

I really don't think that the OP was trying to start an argument or some sort of war considering how everyone is responding to his thread in a civil manner and no one is really yelling or screaming at the OP. I just think that when people come up with ideas such as this, they just don't think about how it will effect others. He may have felt that by adding this in the game that it will help others learn to deal with it when in fact it just may bring up bad memories for others. Or he may just like the idea so that he can recreate the person who was or is doing the bullying and turn the tables on the bully he made for the game so he take any anger or aggression that they may have against the bully.

I know some people do make sim versions of people they know and may hate and do bad things to them in the game. I know when I got laid off of my job 2 years ago, I got in the game and made a sim of my supervisor since she was probably really happy that I was being laid off and the fact that she had been getting on my nerves for the past year. So I sent my simself over to her house and had my sim insult her and start a fight with her since I myself is not a violent person in real life so I took out my anger on a sim version of someone that just made me mad.

Now just because I took up for linklover on this thread does not mean that I support his idea. I feel that since we can insult, fight and declare enemies with other sims and get insulted by other sims as we are talking to them in the game then this is as close as we will get to bullying and I am fine with this.
