    :uncle-ho: Tyranny is when you want France and America to stop butchering your people wholesale, apparently

      Tyranny is when you refuse to drink the agent orange, and the more you refuse the more tyranny it is

    As a man who is 5’5” all I’m seeing by this is how much more based I would be if I led a communist revolution.

    I love that they put Manson and Lightfoot in this, as if being a cult leader or mayor is comparable to being the leader of a state

      I'm just enjoying how, absent Manson, there were absolutely no annoying short people between 1953 and 1992.

      Also, why isn't Kissinger on this list?

    Crazy how the right will use any difference between people to find a way of hating them further.

    I think the real takeaway here is the imposing presence of Hillary Clinton versus these petite brocialists

      Where is my hilldawg sitting at the Yalta Conference with Churchill and Stalin analysis of posture? Or would her girl boss levels be incalculable and create a Y2K type disaster? Truly a monkey paw moment

    Seeing 5'6" being called short for a woman feels really nice for my height dysphoria so I'm gonna uncritically accept this, no matter what made-up bullshit fake news "Google" might try to tell me.

        I've just conducted a study based on a small but representative sample of 9 women...

        Data:
        • Samus Aran (6'3)

        • Rosalina (7'3")

        • Bayonetta (7'7")

        • Lady Dimitrescu (9'6")

        • That one woman AnarchaPrincess saw a couple weeks ago (6'2")

        • Storm (5'11")

        • Mystique (5'10")

        • Neytiri (Avatar) (8'7")

        • Leela (6')

        ...and I've concluded that the average woman is almost exactly 7' tall.

        Now I know some people might question the validity of this study, given that it hasn't been peer reviewed. That's why I'm asking my peers (which is to say, other transfems) to review this study and report if they find any flaws. Thank you for your cooperation.

        Note

        This is a joke, but just in case anybody needs some real life examples, here's one list.

        Also fun fact I just learned is that both Michelle Obama and Melania Trump are 5'11".

          What the fuck, Rosalina was canonically 7'3"? So what, is Mario like 6' just with really shitty posture?

            Mario is 5'1" according the source I got Rosalina's height from, but the heights are :citations-needed:. I think the 5'1" number comes from a life-sized statue in Japan, but there doesn't seem to be an official statement. Rosalina's height appears to come from someone doing calculations based off how tall she is compared to Mario. The same source puts Peach at 6'1," but that is with heels tbf.

          I've thoroughly checked your notes and can confirm your numbers, although i'm European and have no idea how tall 7' is. I'm mostly just dropping in to inform you that i, as a trans girl still within the height range considered "normal" for cis women, find tall women to be full of grace and beauty. There's a reason the volcel police had to be called in over Lady Dimitrescu and it's that tall women are amazing and chronically underrepresented.
