I am doing something very wicked right now.....

When fat acceptance is a (one sided) thing I think it's only fair that we ask the same for height. As for your hypothetical, white knights would still defend any women who would make the claim that autistics should not date. Don't kid yourself lol

I don't disagree, but attacking her doesn't equal justice. She's allowed to express herself even in a distasteful way. Putting time and effort into belittling her just shows that her ugly way of communicating is worth time and effort. It's a form of validation, and will probably reinforce her viewpoint. It's also doing the same thing she's doing, essentially. It's obvious she's superficial, so what's to be gained from pointing out what's already obvious? You're just hurting someone to be happy.

This post makes very little sense, and while I can see you're responding to me you are not understanding what I wrote.

Let's put it that way:

I am not being a justice boy.

She is jerk.

I am jerk too.

It's a story of jerks being jerk with each other.

There's no victim in distress in this story.

I don't see the point, honestly. So what if some random girl laughs at short people? At the end of it she'll just think you're a short, dumb a**hole and forget about you in a day. Hardly worth the effort of trolling her.

Now that, I agree.

In fact, no, one would be banned from any dating site if someone talks distastefully about a certain race, weight or religion.

That's one possibility. Others have been mentioned (the superficial social experiment.)

But I agree with the posters who say this is a waste of time. It's bad energy after bad. The worst and most volatile combination.


That's a distinct possibility. She could have a surprise in mind for Boo.


True. But it's not up to you to right this and engaging this woman is not going to solve the larger problem. I actually wasn't aware that prejudice against short men was an issue in our society; such a superficial thing to give weight to.

Never wrestle with a pig — You get dirty and the pig likes it.

You lot are all so boring.

"I'm going to do the right thing and not stoop down to their level. I'm the bigger person, and better and smarter".

Kinda snooty in a sense.

Smudge, you are witness to a phenomenon commonly known as virtue signalling.Boo, you don't need to justify your hobbies any more than I need to justify collecting Atari games.

If you do something for fun, that means it doesn't need to serve a practical purpose.

Thank you for introducing me to that term.

You're welcome Smudge

You are not wrong. I just spent an hour listening to a podcast
of virtue signalling white knights talking about how autistics should not date.So when NDs use double standards it's bad but when white knights use double it's ok.

Can't you see the irony? You hold a double standard about who's allowed to use double standards.

Remember that most people do not use double standards consciously. People are typically not aware of the double standard they're using.

I don't see it as wicked or evil.

A waste of time? Probably. This woman won't "learn" anything from it, nor will it change her opinion and attitude. You might actually reinforce it.

But if it's fun for you or it makes you feel better - since such attitudes affect you directly - have your fun. It might not achieve much (if anything) but it's no worse then shaming/ guilt-tripping you into putting up with crap on a regular basis without reacting.

Pulling the "be the better person" card usually protects and enables stupidity and discrimination, even if it's not intended to. People who act like imbeciles or a**holes in public spaces should understand that others are free to confront them or react to what they do and say, including in an equally nasty way.

Agreed. Also, I wish this sort of thing would have been taught to me at a much younger age, rather than me believing for years that the "be a better person" card as well as the "just ignore them" rule were just holding my own development back.

Generally, messing with messed up people is mostly a waste of time.

Its a good illustration of height prejudice though, which I think comes from several things but insecurity most. 'Somebody protect me!" Ironic that when you pick by size you are doing nothing selective to protect yourself from a abusive partner.
