    Day 2 of reminding the fediverse there are women who prefer shorter guys (source: am one of them). If y’all don’t want them I’ll take them. I’ll take them all.

      I’m married to a man the same height as me. Absolutely zero regrets. He’s kind and funny, and my favorite person.

      The only thing I’m slightly jealous of is that I might not be able to wear my husband’s ribcage as armor should I outlive him the way that women with taller husband’s can. But that’s life! I love my husband more than I desire widow armor.

        I have no idea where your lore is from, but I like it! As a taller and bigger guy, I see no better way to go out than protecting my love my partner from hordes of barbarians. Let my ribs be impenetrable armor and my femur be an armor splitting bludgeon for her berserker rage. Tales will be told and songs will be sung, and …… crap, she’s now my ex. Forget it, I’ll fertilize a tree when the time comes

          Thanks! As far as I know I made it up, but it wouldn’t surprise if the concept has appeared elsewhere.

          The height preference thing always kinda reminded me of orcs or amazons and I figured those archetypal societies would do something like that… plus I saw an opportunity to make a joke. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

          Also I really enjoyed the picture you painted with it! That was a fun read. I hope you find that badass lady to wear your ribcage in battle one day!

    Cartoon violence inflicted on a rude person displayed in a comic strip has somehow started a war about “incels” and “toxic masculinity”; meanwhile, I’ve never watched Sesame Street and I was over here thinking Big Bird was a girl.

    Lengthening your legs, which will screw you up in a number of ways, is the most cucked thing you can do. Imagine letting the opinions of people online guide your behavior in such a drastic way.

        This insult now gives me the right to kick you in the face, potentially killing you, and that will be funny.

          It gives you the right to imagine a humorous situation where you did, as an outlet for your disgust at how rude it was.

      No, it was funny before too.

      edit: I thought the ridiculousness of my comment was quite obvious considering the ridiculousness of the comment I was replying to but oh well…

    I feel like this short king shit is rooted in toxic masculinity and generally gross.

      1. This is a comic strip on the internet, chill.
      2. It is toxic to have the response the woman depicted in said comic had over a physical feature that someone has no control over. What genders are involved don’t actually matter.
