So, are you suggesting that mocking is not painful enough?

I obviously did not say anything that simplistic on such a complex topic.
For a start, there is not one single type/scale of pain.
Anyway pain is not really the main issue with mocking (you might have re-ordered one of my sentences when reading and misplaced "painful"). The main issue with mocking and public humiliation is: it degrades not just the persons involved but the whole group. That could explain why it is much less tolerated in Asian cultures which are often less individualistic.
