That's a good point. It does seem more like they were the jerks when I think about it. They didn't really give his side of the story a fighting chance. And they also didn't know that it was Candy who had, in a way, cornered Dipper (? I love Candy, but I gotta be fair to Dipper - he didn't have much of a say in the date). Granted, they are pre-teens and so I wouldn't expect them to have the foresight to hear out his side of the story (not hatin' on 12-year olds, they (probably) just don't have the life experience yet), but they reacted and judged him way too quickly.
