I have certainly met with social disapproval when expressing my interests. I'm not sure what the current definition of bullying is, but when you are excited to share something that gives you pleasure (I'm not even getting to kink here; I'm talking poetry, history, literature, interesting facts, etc.) and you hit solid rebuff, rejection, and/or sarcasm, it can be pretty disheartening.
I hit those walls a lot as a child and young adult. Then I learned to mostly keep my enthusiasms to myself.
I am fortunate that one of my grown sons shares a nice cross section of these interests, and we enjoy very long and varied discussions with each other. (I guess I had to make my own friend! ) The rest I still keep to myself.
Still hoping to make friends that share some more cross-sections one day....... coming up on 67 years and counting.
If there is any way you can get away from your bullies, exclude them from your life! Be careful to know people before sharing the things you care about. Sad, but true, unless you can shake off negative feedback.
There are way too many people out there who make themselves feel better by being judgmental and hurtful.
PS
I watched the cartoon and all I can say is that anyone who has said that liking it is any indication of any sexual preference is either trying to be funny, inventing reasons to be mean, or projecting.
