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.
Rule of 6's apparently. 6 feet tall. 6 figure income minimum. They might want 6 inch hot dogs too.

It's more a sign of a shallow individual that wants what you can offer them while offering nothing themselves.

It would be nice if people could be people again. But I think social media, narcissism and superficiality has all but ruined that possibility.

Although once in a blue moon you do get to speak with someone decent on the odd chance that crawl out from the rock they were living in from the bottom of the ocean. Breath of fresh air those people and they make you feel all happy and wonderful too!!

Hey it could've been worse. At least she didn't allude to the size of short men's genitals.
She's right

Well, that's totally fair, you are free to say whatever you want but need to learn to accept the consequences.

If I said Girls over 120lb don't deserve air then yeah I'd deserve it if my boss decided to fire me. I'm tired of people screaming about cancel culture and people being too sensitive every time some idiot gets fired.

Being short sucks ass. I’m 5”6 it’s tough as hell but thankfully being witty and charming as fuck helps; oh and making good money. That said, look people can lose weight and shit we can’t gain height. It be what it be.
Exactly.

If you’re overweight it’s generally because you let yourself go and live an unhealthy lifestyle (outside of very rare medical instances).

I didn’t fail to grow taller because I stopped trying. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Who wants to get fucked by a midget?
🤣
 
How could anyone be offended about some random bitch they don't even know? Anyway she probably took it too far. Imagine a man saying something similar about women. He would be eaten alive. Also some of the other shit she said is worse. Sounds like she has some psychological issues.

I think I read there might have been a mistranslatuon as well

As noted by Kotaku, the Japanese word for human rights is “jinken (人権)”, but in video games it also refers to an item that all players need to have. So debate has ensued in regards to exactly what Tani said in their stream.

Could easily change the context from hateful to more sarcastic/wishful. Saying like all men should be the same size as the rock, similar to all girls should be a size 10.

Anyway she's not that hot so we don't care

So you’re saying a bunch of white soy manlets cancelled an Asian girl because they weren’t big enough weebs to correctly understand Japanese?

Not even that short, but makes me roll my eyes when women have these stupid standards. Not like a guy who is < 5’-7” can control it. But then again these comments always seem to come from women who hide behind a layer of makeup, wear push up bras and TikTok yoga pants, use filtered photos, etc.

I don't think there were any white people involved. She's a Japanese player streaming in Japanese for a Japanese audience who got dropped by a Japanese team. Nobody in the West even heard about this until after it happened.

but people get canceled for genuine beliefs that were acceptable until 7 years ago.

-Only 2 genders
-children shouldn’t be on puberty blockers
-appreciating the police
-simply questioning the far left on numerous issues or calling attention to their hypocrisy.

Sure, this is a joke done in poor taste to a wide (but not necessarily tall) audience. Let’s not pretend that’s ALL cancel culture is about. Not even close.
