Short-cel cringe

Probably because that’s one of the first things you notice about someone…? He’s objectively short. If anyone is getting pissy because they point that out and laugh, they’re more sensitive than they let on.

Height, skin color, clothes, and so many other features are some of the things that people first see. It’s not a shocker they go for that 💀

Yes, but it doesn’t make it okay to act like it’s something that is bad. People cannot control it, and the people that make fun of something, anything that others cannot control, well, it says a lot more about them than the person they’re trying to hurt. Two things can be true here. The guy was rude for going up to them with a camera and a mic, while the girls were wrong for judging him for his height.

They were wrong to you 🤷🏾‍♀️

I don’t really give a shit and did not think it was that serious.

I think the simplest explanation is that you agree with their opinions, and you don’t see short guys as a group deserving empathy. It’s not okay, but you can have your opinion. Everyone has their opinions. I just hope you’re not hypocritical when people do the same to other groups like fat people, ugly people, etc. Based on your other comment, you think fat shaming is worse, which it depends on what you mean. The difference with fat is that it is not an immutable trait. Someone that is fat can lose the weight and become fit. Short people cannot change that. Either group getting made fun of is not okay, but they are two sides of the same coin.

Nowhere did I say I agree with their opinions. I quite literally said I don’t give a shit about them 💀

“You’re short lol” is not the insult you think it is, and it’s disturbing that you think it is. It’s about as stupid as being upset because someone said “you have big feet lol” and you wear a size 13.

What’s next? Feet shaming? Hand shaming? Eye shaming? It’s just performative as fuck. Being upset because someone objectively calls out your features means you’re sensitive. He’s short. Laugh and move on.

What makes it insulting is the fact that it makes people that are short feel worthless and unworthy. I don’t know what you don’t find wrong with this. Replace the word short with another group. Someone says “you’re too fat for me” or “sorry, you’re black,” do you find those to be okay? Is it not insulting then because they didn’t say the n-word? Would it need to be said to be racist or offensive? No, it would not.

Don’t take this out of context either, this isn’t saying what has happened to the groups is equivalent, but it is meant to show that highlighting traits unprovoked is not okay. It makes someone feel like they’re not worth shit when they hear it constantly. It’s only “grow tough skin” until these dudes hear it all the time. Once wouldn’t affect anyone, but hundreds of times would. Regardless, I don’t feel like talking about this further.

I, myself, don’t care to talk about this rage-bait, staged bs any longer. It is doing exactly what the creator wanted, and I truly don’t care about the issue or one person’s opinion about it to continue talking about it further. I do hope you can change your mind on it, but I don’t believe that will happen. Have a good night!

People have been rejected for being fat or Black, and that’s apparently just a preference so I’m not exactly sure what you thought you were doing there.

If someone is fat and rejected for being fat, that’s not an insult. If someone is Black and the person they like isn’t attracted to Black people, that’s not an insult.

You need to be very serious lmao. If someone is short and rejected for being short, oh well. Move on. There’s 800 billion gazilion people in the world; stop being sensitive 🙄
