Heightismreport, joe has called out mike numerous times, this most recent blog should show you, so why do you continue think he is heightism pursuit, and ignore his garminism? He has proved himself on reddit to be a just be confident, fallacy of privitation guy, and you said you had lunch with him. Are you choosing to ignore his clear denial of heightism just because you had lunch with the guy, and why do you and joe have such varying opinions?

Heightismreport, joe has called out mike numerous times, this most recent blog should show you, so why do you continue think he is heightism pursuit, and ignore his garminism? He has proved himself on reddit to be a just be confident, fallacy of privitation guy, and you said you had lunch with him. Are you choosing to ignore his clear denial of heightism just because you had lunch with the guy, and why do you and joe have such varying opinions? You're mistaken about my views. Back when r/short first started(and even when it was r/verticallychallenged) Mike was a different type of poster. He was a vocal supporter of mine and encouraged me to keep fighting heightism. I can't recall whether he made any of the silly posts like he does now, but at a bare minimum, he extended his hand in friendship,made some quality posts about heightism, and was an ally to our cause in general. So, when we went to lunch, we were on good terms. At that point in time, I would've considered the guy both an ally and a friend. Also at that time, I was actively working behind the scenes to try to squash some of the feuds that have developed within the cause because those feuds keep us from working together. Those feuds are here to stay though so the current crop of anti-heightism folks are never going to be a functional entity.(This forum is an attempt to try to gain momentum and footing in establishing a new network of allies) However, at some point, Mike lost his mind and decided he wanted to adopt this persona of being the Casanova Love Doctor of r/short so he finds every chance possible to brag about his sexual conquests with unattractive women from the 1970s.(For the lurkers, I'm not trying to shame people for their appearance, I'm pointing-out the fact that Mike thinks he's God's gift to women when he's truly just a lap dog who begs for leftovers) He's basically a wannabe alpha who saw an opportunity to roleplay as a badass to a forum full of broken short buffoons who grovel at women's feet. He's also become a prolific white knight. I remember his worst case of white knighting was when this idiotic bitch made a hateful video about short men and r/short was actually doing the right thing by roasting her mercilessly, but what does Mike do? He swoops in on a chandelier and privately messages her to defend her from the short men who don't worship her genitals. It's blatantly obvious that he's a pussy-starved horn-dog and white knights as an attempt to score young women(even though he's damn near a senior citizen) So, beyond that, he also went on a crusade to work against all of the main players in the anti-heightism game.(Geoffrey, myself, and Joe) He's not really that intelligent and has developed a view that anti-heightism efforts are why heightism is so bad, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. There is no mainstream awareness about our efforts, so how the hell are we the main reason that heightism is bad? How are people actively hating short people because of us when they've never heard of us? He'll also contradict himself and later say that the media is the reason heightism is so bad. Like I said, he's not that intelligent. Basically, he wants us to be good little boys and beg for scraps from our "superiors" just like he begs for pussy from young girls on the internet. He's the prototypical "nice guy" who ends-up sobbing in his Sierra Mist every night because the girl he spent all night talking to went home with a tall douchebag, but he's trying to masquerade as a sex god. Basically, he has let this fabricated douchebro persona take over every facet of his personality, and he probably feels threatened that there are those of us who actually have the fortitude to bring the heat where it needs to be. For all of those reasons, we're not friends anymore and I see him as one of the worst influences on r/short. |

The reason I try not to generally attack other people within the cause is because I want us to keep our disputes behind the scenes so that outsiders can't just point and laugh at us because we can't even get along with each other, but I'm pretty much alone in feeling that way.
However, we're in a situation where We have had "allies" on Twitter who wouldn't attack heightists to save their lives, but they'll attack us, and people like Mike who think that heightism shouldn't be opposed at all because it will "normalize" it. This is more idiocy because how do you normalize something that is already status-quo? It's already normalized. Then, we have clown shows like the head moderator on r/short who is a 5'8 Garmin who actively opposes us, so I guess it's now important to point-out where the battle lines are drawn so that awakening short men can make the decision in regard to which side of the line they want to stand on. Any behavior that takes the focus off of heightists and heightism needs to be pointed-out as being counterproductive, so we need to clean house and rid ourselves of these pathetic Garmins who are afraid of their own shadow.

I understand, sorry about the mis-perception, but I never found an answer to that because you tried to stay behind the scenes, like heightism should be, so we don't give them any more for the fire and the "change starts with yourself, you need to love yourself" status quo minions. They think anti-heightism will make it more mainstream, but we are the only website that has ever challenged it. Also the tall country excuse from the mod and "teheh look how short i am" self deprecation need to be kept in r/short obviously. Mike is honestly as smart as the average person like you said, not too bright, pretty childish, and always brags about his " sexual casanova conquests", and he keeps the cycle going with the short men in their conga line saluting the status quo and ready to rationalize every behavior that transparent short women and the woman in that one video did. Sorry for conflating you, the garmins on reddit obviously aren't educated enough to explain it to me, and dialouge strictly needs to be shadowed from that breeding ground. Also here is the post link to my analysis about the patron in the short and male documentary that wonders why short men have no collective group but blames them for facing heightism, because he was basically implying that the infighting is our fault and not the status quo's assortment of heightism charachters and their niches heightismhub.freeforums.net/post/147. |

The thing about heightism is it has been progressively getting worse over time, and anti-heightism efforts have been ignored since the term heightism was introduced in 1971 at a sociological conference. There's nothing we can do to make it worse. There hasn't been a single form of discrimination in the history of the world that got better because the discriminated-against folks decided to ignore it or act pseudo-positive about their subservience. It doesn't even follow logic, so it's maddening that so many in the anti-heightism realm think we should go full-ostrich and put our heads in the sand. Not only is that cowardly, but it is unproductive to let the discriminators get 100% of the say in our narrative. Why would a status-quo give-up the goodies it receives if no one challenges it? The logic that this will be the case defies logic.
You're also right about this "change starts with yourself" and "show them how awesome you are" stupidity that infests r/short. How are we going to show how awesome we are if we live in a society that has been indoctrinated to write all of our talents off as "overcompensation," "trying too hard," "a mask for insecurity" or something else negative. In order for society to appreciate us, it needs to have its beliefs reworked to where we can actually be appreciated for our merits outright without them being diminished by being run through a discriminatory filter.
I also tend to laugh at the "I'm from a tall country" justification. I understand how that can be a factor to a degree, but when you're several inches below the average and someone who is 5'8 is telling you to shut up and smile, it doesn't come off very well. That particular loon also has a bit of Mike in him because he doesn't hesitate to bring-up the fact that he loves going to the gym and practicing martial arts. He's the first one to tell us not to confirm stereotypes, but it's perfectly ok for him to come-off as a short guy who works out to "overcompensate." I of course enourage short men to take care of themselves, but don't tell us to shut up and smile when it's convenient, then always find an excuse to bring-up the gym even when it isn't relevant. The hypocrisy of these fools is out of control.
