Both men and women are held to standards of physical attractiveness that for most people are unrealistic and not achievable. This is no different from someone getting the piss taken out of them for being over/underweight, their hair colour etc.

I mean, some people are dickheads - yeah. That's not a new thing.

Yeah, but you can control being fat.

Being short just kind of means you lost the genetic lottery and you can't really do anything about it.

Bullying the wee lad is deplorable.

He wasn't bullied though? I mean, he might have been, most people are bullied at some point in their lives and yeah, it's not very nice.

Control being fat? Eh, some people can for sure, other people have a much harder time of it for various reasons.

Still, thankfully most women aren't going to not date someone because they're under 6 ft.
As an editor I seam to spend an awful lot of thyme going threw issues and checking that they're no oblivious errars. Its a tough job but someone's got too do it!

Well he got choke slammed so he was at the very least assaulted, probably because he was viewed as being weak due to his diminutive beight.

Ah. So they're complaining about women not dating people (them) while using casual misogynistic language?

Hang on Watson, I think I've found a clue here....

Honestly it feels like the only places where people complain about height affecting their chances at dating someone or whatever is mostly on 4chan, what with the manlet pits in /fit/ and a desire to be taller and etc... Now, personally, I’m 5’4”, and I can’t think of a single instance where I’ve ever been “discriminated” against due to my height.

Yes, I’ve been on roller coasters. And I’ve never been told I can’t go on one for being short. Hell, the last time I went on a roller coaster was when I was, like, 13. I was even shorter.

Precisely. In reality, most people who become incels are already some combination of:
-Entitled
-Misogynistic
-NEET
-Depressed

This is not a good combination for a healthy mental state, especially when combined with alt-right spaces online that encourage the divide between them and “normies”. Fact of the matter is, the people aren’t all that weird or uncommon, they’re just unlikeable.

Granted, height does matter. So do looks. That’s only on tinder, though. If you’re social and strike up meaningful and normal conversations with women (that don’t take an alt-right turn), you’re bound to find someone eventually.

Quick google of Disneyland and Thorpe Park ride restrictions tells me that the very highest height restriction is about 4ft 7inches.

Well, this dude looks like he's below the 4ft mark so the height discrimination he suffers must be far beyond what you've seen.

Being that short in a Stacy world such as this must truly be hell.
