This guy acknowledges that heightism exists, and agrees that we need to challenge heightists(although, his post history includes zero evidence of him doing so)
However, while he acknowledges heightism, he holds the belief that "the thing that sucks the most about being a short man is other short men who feel sorry for themselves" etc. Who is he even talking about? This whole sad sack short man trope was created by heightists to discredit any short man who challenges the status-quo, and even though there may be a smattering of posters who fit that stereotype on r/short, it is ridiculous to claim that those few fools are the worst thing about being a short man. If he truly understands heightism, he knows that heightism itself is the worst thing short men face, not a few clowns on a message board who wallow in self-pity. These sad sacks dare not speak a word of their beliefs in public, so why are they considered the worst thing ever to someone who claims to understand that heightism is an issue?
To show how all over the place his opinions are, here he is recommending that someone get leg lengthening, and suggesting the poster go to a Garmin forum

This whole will to attack invisible sad sack short men is the same type of distraction that r/short falls for when they constantly attack incels, average height people, those of us who address heightism, etc. It's all just smoke and mirrors to distract us from what the core issue is, and that is heightism and those who revel in it. This guy is just another example of why we can't move forward. He claims to want to address heightism, but all he does is attack invisible boogie men and offer fluff and cheerleading
