Something like that.
The asshole directors always made the best looking White males out to be the bully/villain in all the '80's teen/school movies.
This was never the case in real life and all the White chads of that time fucked the hot cheerleaders which made the ugly jews jealous so they made them look bad every chance they got.

I hate that I notice shit like this all the time now. It ruins so much media for me, I sometimes wish I could go back in time and stay bluepilled

correct
it's actually crazy how this dynamic/power fantasy continued in media all the way through to the mid-00s when it effectively hadn't existed since the fucking 1950s
realistic movies about high school and college didn't start coming out until the late 00s with stuff like Superbad

when I was in high school nearly all the jocks also happened to be 4.0 students and were well liked by almost everyone
the biggest bullies were the people who did antisocial shit like bitch about pep rallies or read manga alone at lunch

This.
My parents were really early gen-xers and I watched a lot of these movies growing up. It painted a hugely unrealistic picture of middle and high school in the early 2000s, where I was expecting the jocks to be retarded brutes, but there really weren't "jocks" in the general sense at all. And they weren't dumbasses, they were intelligent, affable, and cool people. I was the retarded spaz, because I believed a lie without even fucking realizing it.
I don't know what it is about movies and media, but it makes people blind to the reality right in front of their eyes; almost like you think the life you are living is wrong because you saw the "truth" in a movie. Wish I realized that when I was a teenager.
