OP here.

@Guy talking about the animoos. It does weird me out whenever heights get posted because they’re so short, but whenever I’m watching series I guess I just ‘raise them up’ to the western average because they’re all short across the board.

@’cism!’. Obviously the limits are lowered for women, like entry for the fire-service or police.

Why Ed? Because he’s an example of a hero who’s clearly intended to be such, but I just can’t take him seriously.

And I know it’s silly, that heightism is a real thing (short men suffer an equal wage gap to being female), but it’s just some primal thing that I can’t let go.

I hope a short person punches you in the face.

Tallness does not a hero make, nor shortness comic relief. Think Yoda and Jar Jar Binks!

And like any 'ism, you can learn to get past it. In the mean time, prepare for a lot of disappointment and missing out on great shows and characters because of one insignificant detail.

Okay, serious question time:

Does this only count for heroes and villains who are supposed to be heroic/villainous because of their ability to kick ass? Because while I'd still think that's silly, I guess I'd kind of be able to see where you're coming from. But what about all those heroes and (especially) villains who are just super smart/manipulative? Because that has NOTHING to do with height...

(Anonymous) 2011-08-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
How tall are you, OP? Of course you will lie that you're a giant, but I'm seriously curious, because I'm sure you're compensating for SOMETHING. Short yourself, eh?

Sorry about the poor quality.

>6'7.9"

jesus christ no wonder everyone is short to you

that's kind of amazing though, just don't be mean about it 8(

How do you feel about tall people who are basically dorky, wimpy comic relief? Because I'm a girl who's 5'8, which is pretty tall for a girl, and I'm the least ass-kicky person you'll ever meet.

You can let it go, you just have to want to and work at it. So, grow up and get over it.

As a person who loved the first FMA anime, I'll jump in and say that I enjoy Ed cast as the hero BECAUSE you couldn't take him seriously. It's clear that he thinks he's a badass (even though he's so insecure he flips out at people who point out the fucking obvious issue with his height), but as the show goes on, he gets a swift kick in the ass from reality. "Ooh look, I deposed an evil cult leader and now the town is saved!!!" --> "oh fuck, I created a power vacuum, the regime moved in, and all these people were raped, killed, and subjugated!"

You don't seem to want to let go of it either, according to your secret.


So yeah, fuck you.
