This is funny because we've all heard the following narrative. "A truly secure short man would act like a jester. If you don't, then you're the insecure one." Yet the head clown himself, Kevin Hart, admits to being insecure and lying about his height.
Those of us with a brain have always seen though this. It stems from the same place as telling a man to accept that his newborn child isn't his. "A real man would step up, forgive his wife, and raise the kid anyway." It's designed to fool you into thinking you're some kind of tough badass, when in reality you're getting played. This is further evident when we look at any group society actually cares about. Take women and their weight for example. We've talked about this before on this forum, but good luck finding any white knight or feminist trying to coerce a female into making fun of her own body.

well, well, well. Just more vindication for those of us who used to try to talk some sense into the clown show at r/short. The Garmin King, who is supposedly the bastion of all confidence finally admits that he's insecure. Jose Altuve, one of the greatest current baseball players admitted that the front office personnel used to ignore him in favor of less talented rookies, Prince admitted that no matter what he accomplishes, he's "still short," and if those famous short men who didn't act like ridiculous Garmins still felt the sting of heightism, there's no way a try-too-hard hack like Kevin Hart who serves as a voluntary whipping boy is going to live a life free from insecurity. Notice how in the r/short comments, there are people saying it's ok that he's insecure, and they're even playing ridiculous semantics by offering such chestnuts as "just because you're insecure doesn't mean you're not confident." The grand hypocrisy in this is if they interviewed someone who addresses heightism the right way, and the person interviewed stated that he isn't insecure, the same Garmins would be claiming that "being bothered by heightism means that you lack confidence and are insecure." GranBuba and others on r/short have made an internet career of telling short men not to "confirm stereotypes" by fighting against heightism, yet, this ilk is now stating that it is ok to be insecure as long as you prance for tallers like a good boy. I guess their logic is that if you prance for tallers, they'll issue you a pass on your insecurity. They are so beaten down by society's views on short men that they readily parrot the talking points that have been drilled into them.
They praddle on about confidence as though it's a religion, and now, they're making claims that equate to "insecurity equals confidence as long as you self-deprecate like a blithering fool." If we're talking about women being insecure though, they'll summon the wagons to defend them against society's actions. Also, just like you said, they won't even consider asking these women to self deprecate, and if they did, they'd receive a tongue lashing about how it isn't up to them to tell women how they should feel about discrimination they face.
One of the other takeaways from this is that these self-loathing simpletons have extended their bubble of delusion to where they're now protecting their fellow Garmins. They protect talls and women from receiving any backlash from the heightism they perpetuate, and at this point, they're building a bubble of security around the whipping boys that these same talls and women berate for their own entertainment. Let that marinate for a second. They're not just defending their captors, they're also protecting the emperor's court jesters because they want to keep the emperor comfortable by protecting his toys. A substantial motivation for them taking this route is they see a lot of themselves in self-deprecating fools like Kevin Hart, thus, they're going to keep hoping some of the scraps society throws Kevin Hart for prancing like an imbecile will trickle down to non-famous Garmins like themselves. In the interview, Hart admits that he's still insecure, even with all of the accolades he has received, therefore, I don't know what it's going to take for these misguided folks to wake-up to the reality that holding those accountable who perpetuate this form of discrimination is the only path toward progress. The solution to this has nothing to do with winning over the hearts and minds of heightists, it has everything to do with holding heightists accountable. If Prince, Jose Altuve, and Kevin Hart all feel(felt) the sting, the average short man stands to gain much less by volunteering to be a wind-up toy to be passively fiddled with by those who don't respect them.

There has never been a successful short man that I've seen, that has ever had the guts to address this issue. Paul Simon has come the closest IMO. But everyone else has seemed to be on the psychological defensive, worried about how they're going to be perceived by the World and how it might affect their career. The lead singer of The Enemy once called out the media's blatant heightism and double standards: www.theguardian.com/music/2014/sep/11/the-enemy-singer-heightist-bullying-music-industry“Would you feel it was appropriate to comment on Adele’s weight for example?” I have no doubt he was met with the usual deflection tactics. "You're insecure, you have a complex, etc." But I also bet nobody could answer his question. Like you said, they always want to put the spotlight on the short man's behavior so they don't have to examine their own prejudices and hypocrisy.

It’s been pretty obvious to me that he’s insecure from day 1 because of his constant craving for approval and exaggerating his height, but boy does this hit the fact home. If the fact that he claims a different height depending who he’s around and consistently lies about being 5’4 when he’s really 5’2” didn’t explain it well enough, then this should be solid empirical proof directly from the source who are obsessed with how “insecure” we are that we're in good company.
Also I can’t find the link; but KH himself tweeted that short men who wear lifts are “insecure and imma whip yo ass if I see A short man wearing them”. So for he himself to admit he’s insecure and make a remark like that shows Hart is a completely two faced, scratch that, a multi-faced garmin-esque hypocrite who contradicts himself from moment to moment and conveniently is only “secure” when he wants to be seen that way.
Edit: I found the original quote but not the twitter post on "Celebheights" Short men that need shit like shoe lifts are the true definition of weak!!! I EMBRACE my height damn it...I love being short, I wouldn't change it for the world!!! I get clothes that u tall ninjas can't lmfao!!! If I ever see a short guy with lifts in his sneakers I'm whooping his ass on sight!!!

You just destroyed him! This is one of the most vicious slaughters we have seen in these parts since HeightismAOS empirically proved that Bikerbats takes women for their word, but dismisses all evidence of heightism against men as fiction. Hart says that he wouldn't change his height for the world, but if that's the case, why is he always lying about it? This is the guy who short men tell other short men that they should emulate. A guy who is insecure about his height, volunteers to be a whipping boy, lies about his height, and contradicts himself by calling other short men weak. The more time goes by, the more evidence Hart gives us that he is a good little lap dog who is the exact opposite of what any short man should aspire to be. Those of us who study heightism knew what Hart was from the get-go, but now that Hart has had his Garmin Card upgraded to eternal platinum status, hopefully sensible short men will start to see through the belief that acting like a court jester will get them anywhere in life. The Hart apologists will certainly bring-up Kevin's fortune and fame as some rationale behind why short men should aspire to be like him, but less than one-percent of the population will ever receive fortune and fame for being a Garmin, thus, the average short man stands to gain nothing by dancing a jig in this manner. Hart has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that if he were not rich and famous, he'd merely be an insecure short guy who lies about his height. He'd live out his days trying to soothe his psychological wounds by prancing for his co-workers. In other words, he'd be the office bootlicker. Any short man who voluntarily flaunts such a role deserves all of the heat that comes his way as the result.
