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 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.
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.
Wasn’t it because that he recruit even taller folks to be his guards. So that caused people to assume that he was short.
Huh?
How little of him to get so upset at a movie.
In case anyone is wondering, there isn’t actually a line like that in the movie. Apparently it does perpetuate the myth that he was short, but there’s never an explicit spoken reference to his height
Watched the movie a few days ago and didn’t catch anything about his height
