Looks like 150cm from what I saw in search, just under 5 feet.

Not really crazy when manlett @Bdubs is the head admin, he got triggered hard. Not for the first time male height has come up there either, he's got prior.
Thankfully I don't know who he is but I'm guessing hes short in more ways than one.

Most of this shit is just dumb jokes, policed by those who have childhood insecurities.

The effort that goes into twisting everything into the most literal interpretation that can get you to generate offence is mind blowing.

FFS, lighten up and have some fun. I'd like to see some examples of jokes they consider funny that don't have any element of offence in them. We'd be left with christmas cracker jokes and all the shit from the FRINGE one liners. Even this woule be outlawed:

“Why is Henry’s wife covered in tooth marks? Because he’s Tudor”

wow

User Banned (3 Days): Dismissing Concerns of Body Shaming

User Banned (2 weeks): dismissing toxic masculinity

User Banned (2 weeks): justifying toxic masculinity

User Banned (1 week): inflammatory commentary

I don't know how anyone can look at bans for the very innocent things being said and think that's ok.

The left used to stand for freedom of speech and expression. These guys have gone so far left that they've looped back on the right. It's sad.

that's the strangest thing to say, the strangest thing to take seriously and the strangest thing to get released for

it's less about politics here and more about people feeling entitled to behave like jerks because they march under a rightful banner.

as a psychological process, not dissimiliar to people killing in the name of god

As a 6'6" man, fuck her. The fact is if you're going to cancel dudes for saying shit about women then turnabout is fair play. We all know, for a fact, that if this were a man and he said something about fat women the internet would crucify him. And fat is actually something you can control, unlike being short.

That Era thread is hilarious, because it just goes to show full of shit and fake most of them are. They would have had 100% support if the genders were reversed, or worse someone said this about a trans person.

Oh no, a person I never heard or cared about, said something which "offends" me (size <170cm)... It never happened before and I don't know how to handle the situation. Should I start tweeting about it? Start a petition? Is there a tutorial I can follow about "how to bitch about useless stuff"?
Well, if you were smart, you would've made a list of anyone that offended you ever. With said list, you could then go to every workplace of theirs, and get them fired.

But I guess it was above you to make this list.

Instead of turnabout tribalism, we should move beyond all of it and return to sanity.
 
I uh, don't care.

And the bans the other site on this topic are hilaaaaarious.

I'm fucking dying reading the bans, and the mod is actually blaming TEH TOXIC MASCULINITY as the cause of this, so like, even though this is a woman being a bitch it's actually mens fault all along....

like seriously.

The mod:

So, to begin with, let's not laugh at shit like this. Something that hardly gets talked about is how jokes like this literally help perpetuate toxic masculinity. Yes, women can be just as guilty as men when it comes to this. Yes, men are also victims of toxic masculinity.

These people man.

Ya it's probably more to do with how these contracts work. The state of fighting game competition is currently with covid, teams aren't getting much coverage. This minor thing probably was enough to be able to terminate the contract so they can cut costs.

Let's be honest manlets don't really have any influence.

I think that thread was surprisingly sane for the most part and many people there called out hypocrisy in their own community. Only those neckbeard white knights were hilarious and they got their deserved bans.

Seriously, what’s up with so many women’s obsession with tall men? I once knew and seen women big as whales or not attractive at all who kept saying they will never date a man under 6’2. I still see and hear a lot of women ridicule shorter men to this day. I think it’s rather shallow.
