Fish out of water

Sounds like the 21 Jump Street remake

Imo, a movie that accurately depicts the social atmosphere of a modern high school would have bullies from the 90s crying in a corner. High school kids today are fucking brutal with their insults. Also school shootings would have them horrified, because they wouldn't have seen coverage of Columbine

When I was in school, kids called things gay as an insult. Nowadays kids call things gay as a compliment.

I have come to regard the "everyone so sensitive today" discourse as literal background chatter because for as long as I can remember people have been saying this. "Ah you could never get away with that today" like yes society does seem to be growing and changing don't it and the sky is up there yet, and the rock's still hard.

And he makes himself right at home.

I have two nieces who get bullied at school about different things. One so bad that she is switching to online-only for the next school year.

Anti-bullying my fuckin ass. Schools aren't doing shit other than waving some flags around.

with diversity and inclusion

Important part there. Bullies thrive in plenty of shitty schools today and haven't changed much. Biggest difference is they can now use the internet to further their bullying.

22 jump Street?

Isn't that just present day Republicans?

Those are Trump voters in their 50s. They're everywhere. Don't need a movie thanks.

Bit of an extreme but Look Who's Back (German: Er ist wieder da) In 2014, Adolf Hitler wakes up in the Berlin park where his Führerbunker once stood. Disoriented, he wanders through the city, interpreting modern situations from a wartime perspective.

Honestly why the heck did movies in the '80s do nothing but make me absolutely slasher film level terrified of going to high school?

I wonder how much diversity and inclusion there really is in a school today. Many little kids are dicks, and will always be dicks.

Changes in what the adults tell them is or isn't appropriate won't sway them, they're going to continue to abuse each other and come up with colourful reasons to separate into groups, be it clothing, hair style, gender, skin colour, accent, what flavour of crisps you prefer.... etc.

Plot twist: he realizes he was born in the wrong body and wants to be called Karen from now on.

Billy Madison explored this a little bit when he made it to high school. Pretty much any movie where someone goes back to high school does this. 21 Jump Street was mentioned by someone.

I’ve seen three shows basically try to make this joke. Somebody from an earlier time comes to now and can’t adjust to the political correctness. Clone high did it, Futurama did it, and I think another show I watched as well. It’s pretty played out already.

Permanently Deleted

You just described season 2 of Clone High

I worry the bully would probably be more accepted in such a situation.

'He only acts like this as a result of intergenerational childhood trauma and fat shaming, he's a good kid at heart'

Hey phlegm-wad!

It would be the exact same character, except wearing a MAGA hat.

This would be the funniest movie if someone actually made it.

Unfortunately, defending (or even creating) diversity and inclusion requires the courage to speak up against bullies. I'm not sure we are encouraging our kids ourselves to do that enough.

Plot twist: he is diversity and inclusion

I just want to say that in real life, obese kids are bullied by skinny kids. The "fat bully" stereotype is very harmful to society.

Edit: No, I know the obese kid being the bullied thing is not an absolute. One of my adoptive brothers was obese and took no shit from anyone. He was cool and kinda smart and also the class clown; and eventually he kinda thought he could get away with anything, bought into thug culture, and now he's in and out of jail.

Strangers with Candy

It’s gold Jerry! Gold!!!

Or a movie of high school kids watching one episode of Mind of Mencia

He would be so bullied by the anti bullies
