Is heightism getting more recognized, or are short people still denying this issue?
Seems like a lot of short people are ignoring this?

At this point in history, more people have heard about heightism, or at least understand some of the sub-issues even if they aren't familiar with the term "heightism." However, that's where the good news ends. Not only are we not seeing any progress, but we're moving in reverse. Most of the old guard who addressed the issue has disintegrated, stagnated, or moved more toward being pseudo-positivity fluffandies and wannabe casonovas.
Due to the fact that the fluffdandies, Garmins, pseudo-badasses and others have become more tightly-centralized, we face obstacles currently that the old guard didn't. The old guard faced lack of awareness about the issue, but now, even when people become aware of heightism, it's even more difficult to get them to hear our concerns because of these clowns who head all intelligent dialogue off at the pass. It's easy to write the whole issue off when so many counterproductive idiots soothe the status-quo's concerns by framing us as the bad guys, and trying to reinforce their fragile egos with the fictions they make about their lives. These counterproductive simpletons have certainly been damaged beyond repair by the effects of heightism, so their faux personas are nothing more than defense mechanisms and smokescreens they use to play damage control. It's unfortunate they've chosen this road, but they find this easier than summoning the courage to challenge the status-quo. Basically, we haven't progressed, we've regressed, and the broken imbeciles I'm referring to are the ones we have to thank for the fact that we can't move forward.

I've been involved with this cause for several years now, and I can say definitively that we've regressed. So many short people have come-and-gone in those several years, and for the past year or two, there aren't as many short people coming forward as there was even five years ago. There never was a tsunami of short people coming forward, but "new membership" has almost come screeching to a halt. Even r/short used to be better. There used to be about twelve or so core posters who would infuse substance into the discussions, and the vast majority of them have disappeared, not from just r/short, but from the entire scene. The Garmins, fluffdandies, etc have truly won. This message board does not even have continual discussion, and it's the only continuous, ongoing heightism discussion on the planet right now. I could post new content every day, but this isn't supposed to be my personal sounding board, it's supposed to generate a continual discussion that addresses heightism, and sets the standard for how to move forward. That's too much to ask from short people at this point in time though. We're simply not ready to move forward, which is extremely disheartening, but this is just the state of our current plight. We'll be here when short people decide that they want a better stake in society, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a mass influx of courageous short people to join the fight.

How true those words echo. Unfortunately I did predict the fact that it would get worse. I predicted it a few years ago and unfortunately again, my prediction is coming true. This is the result of just a smidgeon of backlash from the usual suspects. That's all it takes for the cucks, garmins, white knights, pseudo-tough guys, and phony casanovas to go right back into their places like good little boys. Their individual ego-defenses are no match for the collective power of "The Group" as I've said so many times. They can do all the weight-lifting that they want. They can do all the martial arts that want. They can wear all the nice clothes that they want. They can do all cucking on reddit.com/r/short that they want, but it's never going to do a damn bit of good for them or anyone else. It's mildly coincidental that the Heightism Report should start a thread on our "progress" right now, because I've found a video that depicts what he's saying to a tee. This is a new video that displayed some of my BBC interview 3 years ago and also displays another video of two guys calling a girl out on her height preferences. This guy saw a need to put us back into our places. It's not right for short men to get even the tiniest foothold in making this issue known, some tall bad ass gets a compulsive need to set things straight. This guy definitely does not like short men or short people joining the fray of the aggrieved. What they can't say to or about Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, Gays, etc., they will most definitely say about short people and short men in particular. This guy made a good number of the comments, however some of the comments were positive, but more than half were the usual stuff. Here's the link - Please. There's nothing badass about a generally tall guy. The example of a real badass of a tall guy is Brian Shaw, cuz he worked his ass off to be who he became into. "They can do all the weightlifting they want. They can do all the martial arts they want. They can wear all the nice clothes that they want... but it's never going to a damn bit of good for them" This, right here, is what truly makes me boil with anger. What, all the hard work that a tall man does, no matter how smart he is, no matter how talented he is, no matter how funny he is, none of that matters as long as he's taller than 6 ft? This is where tall men will suffer. He's not going to be praised for his skill, or hard work, but praised for his height that he never worked hard for. That's what this dumbass society depends on right now. If short men are not praised for their talents just because they're short, then the talents really don't mean anything from tallers, either, just praised for being tall. It's almost like how people praise me for my art, and I couldn't tell if they were being genuine, or just felt bad for me cuz I'm deaf so they praised me to make me feel better. Same way for how people praise tallers. Don't understand why tall men boast about dating a short girl. Tall men suffer for dating short girls, because they constantly have to bend their backs to even just hug them. There's nothing praiseworthy about a tall man plus short woman, because this is where tall men are even more in physical pain just to share things with his girl, be it in sex, driving, cooking, showering, etc, cuz everything are made for her height (kitchen counter, for example). Also, short girls suffer by wearing heels just to compensate for his height, and weird looks from other people when she doesn't wear heels while her tall bf is around. It's really pathetic. Love means pain, I guess. Still think it's retarded and useless. Wasteful. I hope tall men and short women are reading that above. They need to learn. WHEN WILL THESE TALL IDIOTS LEARN?? Promiscuous women would still cheat on you, no matter how tall you are!

Same way for how people praise tallers. That's a pretty-good insight comparing tall man praise to some of the praise you may receive because you're deaf. The difference is that in your case, it could be merely "pity-praise," but in the tall man's situation, people actually do believe that they are praising him for something that makes him superior, and most tall men have nothing to counteract these beliefs with because they've never been in a situation where they weren't praised for their height, so they buy fully into the notion that they deserve praise for their tallness. You get pity-praise, and the tall man gets perpetual-praise. Being deaf, you experience difficulties as the result of your physical disposition, while a tall man receives nothing but adoration for his situation, and on top of that, he gets many of his bad deeds classified as being good deeds. The thing is, tall men will still get praised for their skill and hard work, in addition to merely participating in life while being tall. It's not an either/or scenario. They get it coming and going. So, while a lot of the tall man's praise may be based on something that has no actual meaning(height,) he won't ever suffer the consequences of that empty praise because we live in a society that caters to him in every way, shape, or form.
