I will never understand why the world is filled with so much cope
I mean, on a surface level I get it. Trying to sugar coat people so they don’t fall into depression and / or directly ending themselves. However, at the same time I think it’s insulting to one’s experiences AND intelligence when you fill them with c(h)opefuel for no reason.
The other sub of Reddit for short people is one of the worst places where this happens. Because it’s filled with other short men so you would say they get it when you vent about how society treats you. But no, they say to you to “just embrace your height”, which is an insane statement isn’t it? Nobody says to an homosexual to “embrace their gay” when they talk about how badly society treats them. Why, why among all groups and categories on this earth I ended up as a short MAN.
Just why.
The ONLY group of people out there that can be shamed and nobody will come at their defenses. The only group of people that even if they try to take up space and demand respect into this society they get minimized with a “napoleon complex” and shut down immediately.
The only group of people that can be bodyshamed without a problem, and the only group of people that can’t even express their sadness if not in extremely rare instances like this sub. But even here, what good will it do?
Overweight women expressed their hard life EVERYWHERE, so much so that now being fat as a woman is not a big problem, as there are a lot of obese models. But short men? Nope, they can vent only among other short men and from the outside we are seen as little inches whining at each other.
Why me
