Hi yall

So, I know this fandom is called corny a lot and stuff, so me and my friend are part of the same fandom but we often get made fun of at school and sometimes in public for being part of TADC, me personally I can handle it by countering the insults with other insults, but my frend doesn’t know how to stand his ground when im not with him aand defend himself, and idk if this is the right place to ask But any tips that could help him
