So I watched the episode. Yes finally 😆 (sorry the post is coming very late)
When Asim went in to the room 4 ppl were bullying him at once. And he just sat there and smiled. Didn’t get aggressive, didn’t abuse, in fact nothing was said at all....
when the food fight was happening Asim said Sid was right and Sid came out of the room and started arguing with Asim.
Now for ppl who are saying Asim shouldn’t have gone in to the room, they should also say that Sid shouldn’t have come out of the room also.. Asim was not fighting Sid that time. There was no reason for Sid to drag it.
Difference is, when Asim was being bullied (by 4 ppl mind you) he controlled it and he took it smiling. Sid on the other hand cannot do that. (and only Asim mocks him,alone) He looses control and starts abusing.
If Sid can’t take poking/instigation he also shouldn’t take the advantage of the other person being mentally stronger than him as an open to poking. Don’t dish what you can’t take, in simple terms.
Poking is bad. Bullying is bad. Whether it’s being done by Asim or Sid. Whether its being done by one or many. But if that’s part of the game (I’ve seen ppl say it) then Sid needs to learnt to better handle these situations. Blaming Asim will not help. If he sees Sid getting effected obviously he will do it more, cuz that’s the plan isn’t it? Just like Asim who sits in front of bullies with a fake smile, Sid needs to come with his own coping mechanism for this.
I feel bad for the man, but when I remember all the times that he has bullied/poked/instigated other HMs (one might try to justify some were done in fun, but again fun for Sid might not be fun for the other person) I just think that expecting him to be not at the receiving end is just stupid...
