People in the comments are still displeased with how "negative" /r/short is, which is funny considering how the subreddit is further in denial than ever. What this tells me is that they won't be happy until literally any talk of height bias disappears. Also try not to vomit from the garmin's unfunny self-deprecating jokes.
It's even funnier when you look at how this thread also exists on /r/tall: old.reddit.com/r/tall/comments/ay9aho/interesting_data_average_number_of_dating/To put things into perspective, for every 14 men who are 5'0, only one woman admits she'd be open to dating him. Women themselves admit to this, so what does that have to do with self-loathing? It's interesting. When it comes to how fat women are viewed, society says body shaming and beauty standards are the problem. When it comes to how short men are viewed, it's self-hatred that's the issue. One is an external problem, the other is internal. This is ignoring how weight is controllable of course, I'm just making a point. P.S. Look at all of this SELF-loathing: imgur.com/a/8TJan |

It's sad that it's not enough for these court jesters to want to self-deprecate on r/short, thus, they have to go to r/tall to beg for applause for proving that they're one of the docile short men who vows not to do anything that would make a taller the least bit uncomfortable.
The sad sack Joe quoted said "I'm a short guy and was hoping to express mutual humorous frustration but no it was just negativity"
These self-loathing simpletons don't comprehend that always being portrayed in a humorous manner isn't the answer. Other people can be classified as humorous and have it labeled as confidence or even talent, but the issue with being a short man is you're ALWAYS expected to be the butt of the joke, and being the butt of the joke ALWAYS serves to lessen your standing among any group, organization, etc. Society has a mental block when it comes to viewing short men in a serious light, and when short men voluntarily unite in pathetic displays of self-deprecating subservience, all they're accomplishing is ensuring that their designated punchline(whipping boy) status will continue.
It's so easy to see right through the facades these pissants portray. They want to create an illusion that they aren't bothered by their punchline status, but if any of them had even a trace amount of courage, they wouldn't be worried about what others would say about them if they decided to defend themselves in a manner that doesn't classify them as perpetual whipping boys. Don't let these dupes fool you, they care deeply about what others think about them, which is why they run to r/tall begging for praise from their masters. Like I said in the "What Is A Garmin" thread that is stickied on top of this forum, Garmins want to prance for tallers like a lapdog that stands on its hind legs to impress its master, with the hopes that the master will throw it some table scraps from dinner.
Also, both of you are of course correct in stating that short men will never be "positive" enough until they never utter one peep about the treatment they receive. Any rebuttal to injustice will always be attributed to a made-up fiction about the short man's alleged internal issues. A substantial part of the reason we never surpass this obstacle is because every time one short man speaks the truth, several Garmins arrive to head the discussion off at the pass. The mere thought of being criticized, not even in real life, but on the internet, has these spineless simps so terrified that literally beg talls to pat them on the head for being good little boys. It's sad to think that the vast majority of r/short(and short men as a whole) believes that flaunting their subservience in this manner is a solid life strategy.

I wish short men could get it through their heads that it isn't their job to make talls, women, etc feel comfortable. If those folks are so uncomfortable with conversations about the issues short men face, it is their job to change the way they treat short men and not short men's job to toe-the-line so that they feel comfortable while they continue to treat short men as inferiors. Short men have been duped into buying a "We're all in this together" mentality where everyone gets an opinion on how short men should voice their concerns. The problem is that short men didn't get an opinion on the stigmas, stereotypes, and double standards being created, thus, giving the same people who created and continue to benefit from those stigmas, stereotypes, and double standards isn't ever going to end favorably for short men. Society has had more than its say on the topic of short men, and has not once decided to allow short men to voice their concerns, thus, acting like a self-deprecating goober isn't going to do one iota of good in changing the discriminatory narrative that short men have been burdened with. If talls, women, etc. feel uncomfortable about short men voicing their concerns, this is a positive thing. Short men have dealt with the discomfort, marginalization, and hatred that heightism has gifted us with from the very beginning, thus, if other people have to evoke defense mechanisms and rationalizations to try to shut us down, we need to push them even harder because they need to continue to feel the discomfort of being challenged. This is exactly what would be happening at this point in time if short men would summon the cajones to speak the truth instead of being good little Garmins and heading-off all serious discussion at the pass.
