Even though this is “totally true and real”, people who cheer in movies are the absolute bottom of the barrel of IQ

Even though I’d probably also be pretty annoyed if I ever heard someone cheering in a movie, people who think IQ is some real-life INT stat are not as clever as they think they are

It’s also cultural. Some cultures see going to a movie as a community event and so they react to it like a concert. You see similar things even outside of that in cult films. Anyone who wants to sit down and quietly watch rocky horror for example is astonishingly strange

This just in: It’s woke to make fun of people for their height.

The way people use the word, I feel like it’s not crazy to have woke as a synonym for “something I hate” coming from someone using it as a derogatory term

That’s what it means. Ask anyone who uses it unironically to define it.

Woke is anyone that’s trying to be sensitive towards, or at least aware of, the feelings and attitudes of any group I don’t immediately identify and sympathize with.

Damnit, I’m using ironically, aren’t I?

That is exactly what it means, another empty rghtwing catchall term like PC and sjw, and it says a lot about you that you are using the term at all (and nothing at all about the people you are using it derogatorily against).

I am woke and I do tease my gf for her height. Mostly because it’s fun when a tall skinny lady and her short fat partner both call each other tiny.

But yeah this guy just thinks woke is when things he doesn’t like. As though body positivity including for short men doesn’t fall under the progressive scale of things.

Tbh though, it kinda doesn’t. Progressives have deemed it perfectly acceptible to disparrage others based on physical characteristics if the “victim” is male, typically “short” and “small penis” but also including but not limited to “fat,” “bald,” etc. Think I’m wrong? Let’s see how long it takes before one of them uses that tactic on me for saying:

I have an AR15 gun rack in my Ford F-250.

You must use a tiny caliber (not even big enough to hunt deer with) because you have such a huge penis. I know exactly what the extra towing capacity is useful for. wink

It’s particularly bad in the UK at the moment. The most popular insult for the current PM is to call him short or make fun of his height. And him being conservative means it’s mostly otherwise progressive and left leaning commentators are doing it.

I don’t like the guy, and I would like to see him attacked more based on a whole host of other issues. But mocking him for being 5’6" is just kinda low

He was actually taller than average for the time, it must have been a garbage movie if they got that wrong.

Wasn’t it because that he recruit even taller folks to be his guards. So that caused people to assume that he was short.

That’s quite possible, selecting troops for height for prestigious roles is nothing new.

Supposedly the guards roles were grenadiers and they were typically taller than average

Unfortunately, that is true. The only facts the movie gets right, are the dates it quotes. I understand artistic leeway, but then at least make it entertaining, but the movie fails at that as well. The movie is incoherent, maddeningly inaccurate historically and, even though I really like Joaquin Phoenix as an actor, an absolutely terrible portrayal of the person Napoleon was. Phoenix portrays him as if he was mocking the character, making him into some autistic wizzkid who is socially incredibly awkward.
