I punched my classmate for being Dreamphobic

    Dream is an American YouTuber and Twitch streamer who is known primarily for creating Minecraft content.
    TW: 🚨 Dreamphobia 🚨, school, self-defense, Nazism, saying Dream cheated
    
    This happened a few days ago. I was looking at fanart of Dream in class. The kid sitting next to me looked over at my computer and then made some insensitive comment about how Dream cheated (obvious Nazi propaganda) and that his videos suck.
    
    This made me irritated - yet another Dreamphobe harassing me. I called him out and told him that he was acting Dreamphobic because he was oppressing me, a Dreamsexual person, and then he laughed in my face.
    
    He said, "Dreamsexual? Is that when you want to suck Dream's dick or something?" I said yes and he looked at me weirdly and asked if I was joking.
    
    I decided to pull up this subreddit to help explain Dreamsexuality and Dreamgender. He said that it "didn't exist" and that we were "just overly-obsessed Dream stans", then said that we were mentally ill.
    
    I was livid. I was shaking, too - he doesn't have the right to speak about Dreamsexuality like this. I figured I should follow the advice given to me on this sub before, which is that you should always defend yourself if a Dreamphobe is harassing you.
    
    I turn to him and give him a punch to his face (I was only using a bit of power to teach him a lesson). A bunch of people turn around and the entire class was looking at us.
    
    My ignorant teacher went over and pulled me into the hall and told me that I was being "highly inappropriate" and violent. I said that the kid was discriminating against my sexuality, but he claimed that didn't warrant me punching him and that I could've handled it in a "more civil manner".
    
    I ended up in detention. The school staff said they're "looking into" the other kid's harassment. I hate being in my Dreamphobic school.
    
    Has anyone else here been wrongfully punished for defending yourself? Dreamphobes are true evil and it's a shame that they have so many bigots willing to defend them.
