This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

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 use the word?
Hyberbole is often employed for humorous effect
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.
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
Kinda low eh? Interesting word choice haha.
Sorry I couldn't resist, the set up was just too perfect, but I'm also 5'6" so I can make that joke (and also the context being "wordplay" not body shaming).
Jokes aside though, totally agree, if we're gonna be calling out body shaming it has to be consistent.
Frankly I don't think it's effective anyway unless your goal is to hurt the feelings of the guy and anyone else who reads your comment with body issues like a small dong or short legs, it isn't like anyone says "well I was gonna vote for this guy because I agree with him BUT he has to use a step stool to change the overhead lightbulb so maaaaaybe I'll vote for the guy I completely disagree with instead."
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
Alright that is a pretty funny mental image though.
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Speeding?"
"No sir, Indecent Exposure. You have to put a tarp over that thing!"
"The Gun?"
"No sir."
