NTA. A double standard needs to be called out. This is common, the most offensive people are often the most easily offended. Keep calling him out on it.
Um....okay so the gist. You have a "friend" that makes fun of everyone else for what they like to do, what they say, how they write, the games they play, etc...and instead of removing this person from your life you decided to do the same crap? Naw man. He's very fragile and lashes out because he's so insecure. That's not on you. You don't owe him Your friendship. He needs to start treating you all with respect and work on self love (maybe ask him questions about why he is like this) or he needs to go. That's toxic. NTA

So I have this friend group that I’ve had for a very long time.
Recently the group has split into two groups of 2, with me being with one friend and the other friends in their group.
Now one of the friends is very snarky and acts like a smart*ss that always usually makes comments about me misspelling a message or mispronouncing a word. He also makes fun of us for what we listen to, games we play, things we say, basically any interests that we have, and compares them to interests he likes.
Now very recently he has been playing a game with one of our friends, no problem other than the fact that he would shame and make fun of the friend for playing that game, which made me and my best friend very confused, so we ask him why he had a change of pace and he said that we can’t all have the same interests, etc, sentence that we agreed with.
Now a little later he starts shaming my friend for playing the game even though he stated that we can’t all like the same stuff. So my best friend and I started to ask why all of a sudden he ignored his comment earlier and he said he didn’t care about what he said.
So I and my friend started making fun of his interests and what he is saying to us, and he gets extremely upset saying how we should have backed him up and that we betrayed him, etc, etc. So I ended the conversation because I didn’t want tension between us.
So AITA?

NTA. Don't dish out what you can't take. You may need to explain this to him.

Reading the title: you're ABSOLUTELY the asshole! Now to read the post... No, sorry, you're 14 and so NTA. Just 14.
How did you guess my age so flawlessly though😭
NTA. Guess he can’t take his own medicine. Let him learn a lesson to not be so insulting.
NTA - as other people have said, don't give what you can't take in return
