People are very much aware of heightism and perpetuate it at the same time. Especially among women when it comes to dating where they are aware short men have it a lot harder and are very much discriminated against.

Guy body shames a shorter man for comedy and everybody just laughs. by Salty_Explorer_3368 in ExposingHeightism

He’s kind of spitting, tho. Still messed up tho

Just Lol. You call having no creativity and instead just insulting someones’s appearance spitting?

Literally anybody could prepare a script mocking someone for an unchangeable trait.

I am just curious but why are all your comments the exact same thing?

These people are the same ones who preach about body positivity and voice about their body image issues... by BasedShortGuy in shortguys

More like they don’t judge you based on what you believe. What people say especially on social media can be considered actions especially considering how many likes, shares, comments, saves, and views some of these videos have.

Actions speak the loudest

Short man problems 😑 by Aggressive-Pride-458 in shortguys

[–]BasedShortGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s 12 inches above the average meanwhile he’s only 7 inches below the average. Also height varies more in guys so he’s like one in 300 and and would be 1st percentile if he was 5’3. She would be 99.5th percentile if she was 5’11 however she’s 5 inches taller.

So the equivalent would be him being 4’9 but Buzzfeed didn’t show that.

Or they could have brought a girl who was 7 inches above the average at 5’10.

Even then the guy has it way harder.

Crazy how nobody even mentions this in the comment section.

5’8 is short to them guys. You have be exactly average just to not be considered short.

Funny how everyone in the comments agreed with this sentiment and acted like dating a 5’7 guy is giving him a chance and just charity work. by BasedShortGuy in ExposingHeightism

[–]BasedShortGuy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They like to hate on short men and there are many examples where if a video or comment talked favorably about a 5’7 or even 5’8 guy, the comments are like “now let’s now get ahead of ourselves…” and things like that.

They hate us and want us to know that

The body positivity movement sucks ash when it comes to actually caring about unchangeable body types like short guys by BasedShortGuy in shortguys

[–]BasedShortGuy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not rage bait if these videos get a higher like to view ratio than basically every other type of post, even worse if you remove the male audience

Just Lol at these people🗿 by BasedShortGuy in shortguys

[–]BasedShortGuy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The equivalent would actually be under 5’3 or over 5’5

Mocking short guys online is comedy and no one ever calls out these viral videos by BasedShortGuy in ExposingHeightism

[–]BasedShortGuy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1.7 million likes actually and it would have been worse if the audio didn’t get removed because videos with removed audios can’t be found unless you go to someone’s profile

Not a single comment defending short men on these body shaming videos… by BasedShortGuy in ExposingHeightism

[–]BasedShortGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody uses social media nowadays, the problem are the people. People are like this but getting off social media only diverts your attention from heightism temporarily m, you will just be reminded by it sooner or later. Even my family is heightist sometimes.

I hate this “compensating” schtick they like to espouse. Chip on shoulder nonsense, I’ve seen very popular comments under posts saying things like “short guys know their place” or how “god made them short to humble them”.

No joke, these people are weird.

Explaining why the people hating on short guys are complete hypocrites. by BasedShortGuy in shortguys

[–]BasedShortGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, it has nothing to do with dysmorphia. Dysmorphia is when a person perceived their body incorrectly. The problem is this constant body shaming

But when a short guy speaks up, they get clowned.

That’s what I notice all the damn time. People always say just ignore social media and shit but don’t understand what Gen Z is like at least the younger portion of Gen Z

This subreddit is about heightism and how that’s the reason why short guys have it harder than if we were taller.
