BEING MADE FUN OF...
If you were never made fun of, then chances are that you were not doing something worth noticing or different (in the context of change or art etc)... it's not a 100% rule but if you're original then even in a good way you can be admired, talked about and also for bad way pointed out until people join or live with it / the subject.

Pioneers should probably get ridiculed as a sign they are relevant / triggering something (excluding the less genuine pioneers or actors).

PIONEERS GET THE FLACK FIRST...
The pioneers I think go though this almost proportionately as part of progress, new thinkers, concept, renewing old, contrasting to the existing society which itself might be too sterilised for example and so more the problem than any old/new thoughts. Right now feels like we are so sterile we borderline hate our own biology / can't accept our existence as bacteria - and instead of celebrating each other - want to kill ! #biology #pioneer #war #society #design
