Heightism is prejudice or discrimination against someone based on their height.

Sep7agon, have you experienced heightism in your life? Do you believe there is a "heightist" culture in the first world, one in which short people (especially short men) are at a social disadvantage because of their height? Do you think it's a crock of shit and there's not enough empirical evidence to support the idea that certain first world cultures have a vendetta against short people?

Dank memes coming through.
I really think that this whole shit about height is kind of stupid.  I think the people who say they are short and can't get girls are likely just completely autistic or just lack any confidence.

Yeah, but I think it's only really an issue when you're trying to get laid.

I haven't heard or seen examples anywhere else.

I pay no mind that because I've been around shorter people before. Specifically ones who could take all that shit flinging that goes around about height and mop the floor with it.

I think it's just some internet meme fad bullshit circulating around with retarded kids.

Your height literally means almost nothing, except for being able to reach either high or low places. That's it.

Only on the Internet, and only ironically.

It's a silly fairytale bigotry that probably isn't worth a Serious thread.

This entire community seems pretty convinced it's a real thing. I figured it was worth talking about here.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Never experienced it but then again I'm about average height (5'11"/180cm). Used to be the shorter kid in school but I was never bothered by it.

Most of those people on that sub look like they have some bitterness towards taller people and feel they have to prove themselves... literally small-man syndrome. Half of the top posts are a picture of short guy with his tall gf and how great their life is.

Like anyone else should give a shit.

Yeah. A lot of the discussion on that sub seems flavored by personal experiences and the biases that stem from them. Still, it's an intriguing thought. I think at the very least it's plausible to think that, in America or similar first world cultures, shorter men have worse luck when it comes to sex/relationships. But we'd need empirical data to make a real judgment there.

Taller people are paid more on average and considered to more competent/intelligent etc.
It definitely exists.

Let's not be pedantic. The word "ironically" has come to mean something it hasn't meant before on the Internet, and you'd have to be living under the biggest rock ever not to have heard it used in that way before.

Yes, nothing is ever accommodated to people of my height here.  I'm convinced it's gonna give me back problems one day.

I've never experienced what it's like to be short since I'm 6'3" but I'd imagine it's not too fun being a really short dude.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
This topic really isn't worth being in the Serious section.

Since it's mainly 12 year old kids going "hur dur you're short you little pussy"

I never really paid any attention or gave a shit. Height is something beyond a person's control so mocking someone for their height is essentially on the same level as mocking someone for their race or nationality.

I think the OP is more than fitting for serious discussion. It's just that our board is filled with chanfags who can't stop shitposting for just long enough to experience coherent thought.

He's just going to keep dodging around it until 1) you forget or 2) the discussion goes off topic and we all forget anyway.
