This person had a long history of saying terrible stuff. Like borderline fash stuff. Homophobia etc.
saying horrific honophobic fashy things
I sleep.
saying short men have no human rights
Real shit?
I can excuse homophobia and fascism, but I draw the line at picking on men
Saying people with certain immutable traits have no rights is a pretty fashy thing.
you just seem kind of like an asshole ngl
So a typical g*mer. From personal observation, insecure women in male-dominated hobbies often exaggerate toxicity to seek acceptance. And it usually works, up until one of their own is targeted.
My partner worked at a construction non-profit and by far the most sexist volunteer was an older woman who had worked construction all her life. Like, she'd straight up take power tools from young women to give them to men and what not.
Similarly, when I worked in construction I saw most of the Mexican bosses were more racist against Mexicans than anyone else.
Maybe I'm having too much male solidarity now... but I do feel super bad with how difficult it is for shorter men.
You don't have. It's a very grave form of toxic masculinity that women also love to engage in. It's actually an issue. Short men aren't even seen as men by a lot of people.
It also intersects significantly with transphobia and racism, as these things often do
Yeah I've got a friend who's roughly 6'3 and people keep assuming she's trans just because she's weirdly tall
Not to mention when she dares to date a guy shorter than her. People will obsess over that non-stop. Tall women really can't win, either.
date a guy
I think the gendered connotation of guy is important here
Lol true - I was mostly responding to "tall women can't win" but my answer similarly applies for any sapphics :hexbear-bi-2:
my point was not that, but that tall women can't date any guys because they will be judged if the man is shorter than them, and they will also face judgement for dating women because of homophobia. and if they date no one that's a problem too. I'm starting to sense a pattern society doesn't like women, but I need more evidence to be sure.

Okay yeah this got an audible laugh/grimace out of me lmao :agony:
This seems to be a thing that Anglo women fixate on. I see this sometimes but not nearly as often in Latin countries. All the women I've dated have been taller and nobody really cared. We tend to judge more on interracial couples, particularly if you happen to date an indigenous man or woman.
Yes it does! A lot of trans men are the target of this kind of harassment.
Totally. Some of the asian guys I'm friends with have gotten height-related harassment too (especially on the internet), to the point where a couple started putting their heights in their Tinder profiles to stave off questions about it
Mentioned this down-thread, but there's nothing wrong with defending groups from mistreatment, even if they experience some form of privilege — the whole point of intersectionalism is that these things have negative impacts on many other groups.
Harassing and discriminating against short men also has a reciprocal effect of spawning harassment and discrimination against tall women, and disproportionately affects trans people of any gender, people of color, and people who grew up malnourished either from lack of nutritious food or lack of proper sanitation leading to hookworm infections and other parasites (generally due to poverty, often as the result of neocolonialism).
It's honestly fine. I've been on the shorter side my whole life. It's not a big deal
Usually I'd jump at the chance to defend shorter men but I'm 5'7 so smell ya later :screm-cool:
amusing that 5'7" is the 6'0" for arbitrary male height expectations in japan
Apparently it's the average height for men in Japan too lol
And in Europe it's 180cm or just above 5'10"
so literally just an easy to remember number is boner fuel

Hoo boy, look at these boys. Look at them. Very tall, very tough looking, tougher than in any movie, and more handsome too. Wow.
Folks, you know me. I write books. Okay? I write books. I’ve written many, many books. Very great books and poems. And they were tremendous! So tremendous, folks, that they gave me a Nobel prize! It was the nobel prize, the only, the first one that any Japanese author ever had, and I won more nobel prizes and wrote more books than any author in the entire history of Japan ever. I am winning nobel prizes for literature, and I will continue to write many fantastic books, like you’ve never seen, believe me.
I’m not here to talk about that. I’m a great author, maybe the greatest ever, but I’m not here to talk about that. Japan. Folks, Japan is in the worst state it’s ever been, in the whole of Japanese history. It’s a disgrace. A disgraaaaace. People come up to me all the time, they say “Mr. Mishima! Mr. Mishima! What happened to Japan?” Well folks, it’s a lot of things. It’s the Americans, and the modernity, and the losing World War 2…oooh, we hate that don’t we? Not good. Very, tremendously bad.
Folks it’s so bad, you can’t say, you can’t say “Pure Yamato Spirit” anymore! Yamato Damashii, remember? But the liberals and leftists, they don’t want you to say it! And the Emperor, he said, can you believe this? He says he’s not a god! Can you believe it? He can’t say that! Oh, the establishment conservatives, they don’t like when I say that. They say “Mishima can’t criticize the Emperor for saying he’s not a god!” But I’m not afraid to say it, the Emperor, he’s a god! He’s a god, okay? His sacred ancestor, you know who that was? Amaterasu! So, he’s a god, and he can’t say he’s not a god, and he’s a very horrible Emperor for saying he’s not a god.
Folks, we’ve got to, bring it back. That’s right. We’re bringing back Yamato damashii, we’re saying Yamato damashii and people are saying it more and more. Yamato damashii, everybody! But who’s going to do it? That’s right, you! The soldiers! You’re just like the Samurai! We love our Samurai, don’t we folks? We looooove them! And the Kodoha, remember them? Imperial way? You’re just like them. And they say self-defense force, they say that, but you’re an army. Okay? It’s an army, not a self-defense force. And the Tatenokai, wonderful friends of mine, they’ll help you! We’ll all get together and bring Yamato damashii back, and we’re bringing the Emperor saying he’s a god back, and you’re going to love it, believe me.
What is that in human numbers? 160 cm or something like that? Men under the imperial system shouldn't have human rights.
170cm apparently
The :gamer-gulag: in question probably used centimeters originally given she's Japanese
Fired for being right :deeper-sadness:
Gamers should probably not take her seriously, she’s just joking or what ever it is how they like to explain away their shittyness
In the same breathe these g*mers will tell you shouting slurs in online gaming is just free speech bro.
These racist homophobic transphobic shitheads who talks big about having thick skin always lost their shit over the pettiest shit. Like of course there's this, small penis size, and for the :lmayo: being called the type of food cartoon pirate parrots love so much.
edit: not excusing her behaviour particularly with what other have said, but from my experience the people :gamer-gulag: she offends are very likely to be much worse than her
being called the type of food cartoon pirate parrots love so much
Tell me we didn't censor "cracker"
