I don't think there was any actual bullying because of it (I'm not American, school was pretty nice and my memories are almost entirely positive, lol) and I don't think it's become any less nerdy but Magic the Gathering was certainly my nerdiest passion growing up. And yes, there was a hierarchy: the Beyblade kids were less nerdy than the Yu Gi Oh kids, who were less nerdy than the MtG kids. π π
fuck we held beyblade tournaments so often in kindergarten
then it got shamed, playing marbles and trading pokemon cards were the cool. not playing with em or even making up how to. yugioh cards were less cool. digimon cards were the uncoolest like bully material
Oh shit I forgot PokΓ©mon cards! But yeah, Beyblade was top notch, I was letting it rip for a good year IIRC. π
