I hate those pseudo feel-good tokenism bullshit, like "dad-bod", or "short king". Since they were said with good intentions, now I'm going to have to pretend that I appreciate a cactus slapped on my face.
Edit: Should've mentioned my height - it's 5'6". I've been fat-shamed since I was a child, and it continues even to this day for being between normal and over-weight. I have social anxiety, I hear whispers towards me, and when there's a loud laughter from some group in public, it puts me in a panicked state.
Brilliantly put. It's downright insulting nonsense.
I'm with you except that I aspire to a dad bod. It's probably not in the cards, but I'm trying lol
My city's most common tagging these days might be "dadbob". I see it everywhere.
