It is very similar, but there is something else at play here that I think is not fully recognized.

I don't think loosi (usually) starts these things to get attention (as kids usually do). I think loosi just is singularly poor at understanding where HER line is for people. Her line is different than other people's lines because of a long history. She sees others making shivs and it being fun and playful and just doesn't understand that she doesn't have this same freedom. I don't think there's bad intent behind it, I just think it's a blind spot. Others too should recognize that she is held to a different standard on these matters. I'm not saying that different standard is unfair. We're all entitled to draw the line for ourselves as to who we're ok with being teased by and how far that can go, but I think it's simply mistaken to think she crosses those lines out of animosity or for attention. I do think she is overly dismissive of being called on it because she thinks there's an unfairness in the different lines, but again, I think that's a blind spot for her.
