To be fair, Robert's childhood didn't sound particularly happy after a certain age based on his book, but that's because he was an angry sped who threw tantrums in class that caused him to get sent to the counselor and saw himself as some kind of badass anti-establishment figure for refusing to listen to or cooperate with said counselor, not because his parents were abusive. He didn't mention getting bullied in his book either. It sounded more like everyone just stopped wanting to be friends with him after a certain age. He also claimed he got over it and started partying and having sex when he got older, but...
I wouldn't be surprised if he's playing up the whole "I was bullied!" angle now as a sympathy ploy because the types of people in his small fanbase, plus the idpol people he wants to get in with are generally pretty sympathetic to that. Maybe someone who looked like Sandmann poured water down his shirt at one point or called him a faggot, but I highly doubt anyone was kicking Robert black and blue or shoving his head in the toilet and giving him swirlies on the daily.
Yeah, I also doubt he suffered any physical bullying as if he was a main character in a Stephen King book. And if he did, he sure as hell didn't put on his book, or in any of his videos where he mentions being bullied.
The whole bully thing with Robert was always weird. He was always pretty vague with what has really happened to him, and I can see why someone wouldn't want to go into details with this, nobody likes to dig back into old bad memories.
However, the few times Robert went over his bullying, it was most about not being able to fit in with others, and while he never said it out loud, he left the impression that he thinks he was too smart for the other kids, and the only reason why he never said it is because he knows this attitude is both cliche and beyond lame.
Then, whenever it fits Roberts' bouts of rage, he always brings his bullying past to justify any hatred he has, or how he identifies with the ones suffering in the margins. But at the same time, it only takes someone to point out that Robert is projecting or being stuck in the past, and Robert dismisses his his "tragic" past with a "I've got over it a long time ago, friendo".
And yet, it only takes a single look at Sandmann's smirking face to trigger Robert into a thousand yard stare flashback.
In the end there isn't any point to Robert bullying past besides him wanting to hold on into his bitterness, because he doesn't have much else on his life.
