Poor Miserable Gurgi posted:

You're not mocking his masculinity complex though, you're specifically just mocking his height. Which makes being short seem like the joke.

And yes, I know, you're picking on "the thing that'll really upset him the most" or whatever. But he's not seeing your forum posts. If you're directly responding to his dumb tweets with short photoshops, fine. But posting short joke memes on random websites is just posting short jokes.

And you can debate over whether that's ok or not to do, but people just need to own up to making short jokes instead of trying to veil it behind some elaborate take down of toxic masculinity.

Exactly. If you make a joke about [uncontrollable trait] at a lovely person, it's very difficult for your non-lovely friends/bystanders to think "huh, so that's what you think of me."

I absolutely get wanting to hone in on someone's weak spots, because I have a mean streak, and it's especially tempting when those weak spots are very obviously the antithesis of what someone is trying to project as their identity. But harming the self-image of people I care about or simply just don't deserve it isn't worth it.

Bold of you to assume anybody making those jokes know people with those traits that they care about.

I caught up after longpost had played out, but it's since given me some interesting ideas beyond :dong:. Perhaps there needs to be a longpost thread (and I'm undecided if wideposts should be posted rotated or not), but most of my ideas are probably not stupid enough.

It's beyond my skill, but I'd really like to see a DeviantArteque, Carravaggio-styled longpost version of goon in a well. I'm thinking Dante's levels of hell filled with all the characters from Qliphoth.

And could you imagine if we dedicated a five mile stretch of flat concrete highway called The Longpost Project and said, "Okay we cloned you just for this, show us what you've got Michaelangelo".

I do find it humorous that a derail of long meme posts is immediately followed with a derail on memes mocking short people.

I leave offerings of slain livestock to my local Titan in order to gain his favour. He keeps calling the police to find out who is doing it, but I believe it's a trial to see if I am humble enough to forego credit
