uh sure I just have never seen something like that before like I had to check both sides of the image to make sure her face wasn't edited too
We get it: she's not your type. She is out having fun with her boyfriend having a drink. Honestly, your language just seems like mean juvenile bullying shit.
She, or people she knows, may end up reading your bullying post.
Honestly, did you really hope to learn something from your comment or gain a perspective? No, of course it's fucking bullying.
How does her ethnic background or facial characteristics (as shown in a single photo while she's out with her boyfriend at a cocktail place) relate to the funny part of the tweet? Can't it just be a funny tweet?
I never thought I was bullying, I didn't think I said anything that would be offensive in person or make her day worse
Bullies often don't realise what they're doing is bullying. It was just a bit of bants, you shouldn't be so sensitive about it.
is "bants" a regional or generational thing?
Regional

huh I wasn't far off I would have guessed aussie as a regional option because so much of their slang I hear is just "abbreviations" even if it doesn't make the word or syllables shorter
You are very oblivious then and don't realize it.
I don't want to hide behind ignorance but ya I'm really not that good at making jokes most of the times but I don't think I've ever made anyone upper with them
That's cool. This sub\community is very lighthearted. It is also very international. Cool tip: if you happen to catch yourself on a word or phrase that wasn't inert\commonplace\or a opps-i-didn't-know-it-was-even-a-thing... I myself just take the hit, put that in my to-do box, and move on. I have plenty other funny bones to contribute.
In a nutshell that's the internet-- no one asks you to hide or change yourself, but flamewar can happen like a diesel truck thru a nitroglycerin factory.
