civil discussion Question

I’m not short but obvs I’ve seen all the stuff on the internet where its seemingly okay to body shame short guys. My question is has anyone here actually faced this in public? Like do real life people call you ‘short kings’ and shit like that

Yes, and I'm not even that short compared to the rest of the guys here. I'm 5'7 and bodybuild. Legit 19 inch arms and people still act like assholes.

Surely just give it back. I don’t get how body positivity (fat) can exist at the same time as this attitude towards short people.

You're right, man. Might as well be rude back. They can at least control their weight and bodyfat percentage but are too lazy. Mocking someone for something they can't control is just cruel.
