Bender's fake applauding

After Claire showed her secret talent of being able to put lipstick without using her hands, has anybody else's thoughts about the scene changed as you have gotten older?

I understand from a teenager's point of view that what he did was completely unacceptable, and that they saw it as a severe case of bullying for the moment.

However, now that I am in my 20s...I really do not see what he did as an evil act. I guess I have grown a thick skin over the years. Once I have had a university professor tell me that the reason that he gave me a D for my presentation is because he does not like my hair and that I use too much cologne, that started raising my tolerance of accepting others' cruel opinions.
