I have been here that long but i always enjoyed reading Tesker's comments, a level headed guy, at least that is the impression i got.

His perspective came from an outside view. Being a dwarf is its own mirror to the world. Others often had trouble dealing with an outside observer telling it like he saw it. His observations were often truer to real life than many of us saw it from inside our particular boxes.

I found it hilarious when some people actually told him his perspective didn't belong here. The nerve to tell a guy who is under 4 fucking feet tall that he doesn't belong on a subreddit called /r/short.

Do you recall the name of the threads where people were saying that?

[–]reddit-throwaway45 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (22子コメント)

Nope. They were otherwise very insignificant threads if I recall.

Did you respond to the people who were saying that stuff?

[–]reddit-throwaway45 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't think I did. Probably just downvoted them. He was handling it fine by the looks of it. Why are you so curious?

I can attest Ive seen it at least once.

Link to it? If I remember right the times I saw someone make a comment that implied someone with dwarfism didn't belong here, or they had it better, or whatever they got pretty well roasted by other posters here. I'd like to see the one you are talking about & see who the comment came from.

I have no clue where it is. It was months ago. Why does everyone treat the internet like a court room?

I have no clue where it is. It was months ago. Why does everyone treat the internet like a court room?

Asking a person to provide an example of what they are talking about isn't treating it like a court room, it's just asking you to back up what you are saying.

Let me give an example...

I saw TheWhiteNashorn comment on /r/tall about how people who are over 6'8" don't really belong because they are too tall. It got upvotes too! What an awful sub telling someone that is very tall they don't belong. Oh and no, I don't have a link to the comment...jeez...why do you need proof? I saw it with my own eyes. I'm not on trial here!

Snarkyness aside, I was just curious to see who made the comment. We have a few usual suspects over here who need a slap upside the head sometimes for the ridiculous crap that they say. I'm guessing the comment (unless it was in a dead thread) was downvoted and some people at least pointed out the obvious flaw with the comment.

Is stating that "some people told tesker he didn't belong here" really such an outlandish thing to recall that it demands evidence? It was just funny

[–]sleuthoftrades5'7'' USA [非表示スコア]  (4子コメント)

Well, I'm here quite a bit. I haven't seen anything of the sort. Its almost a given it would have shown up on /r/subredditdrama if it happened, they love linking here. Not saying it never happened, but to pretend it is anything more than an anomaly is kind of funny itself. Its Reddit, people say stupid shit all the time. I've been told I don't belong here for being 5'7'', saying "x group doesn't belong here" is the exception not the rule.

Its just hard to trust you, because I can attest I have seen antisemitic and white nationalist (eh, white natiorn?) posts by you. Can't be bothered to find it now, it was months ago.

[–]TheWhiteNashorn [非表示スコア]  (6子コメント)

Oh jesus fucking christ. First, go get your eyes checked, then take your hands place them at eye level so theyre in karate chop position, and violently shove them towards your face with thumbs erect. My name is TheWhiteNashorn. Theres no nation in there.

Second, you havent seen antisemetic or any other type of bigoted post from me because I haven't ever made any.

Third I don't give a shit that you don't trust me. I'm not your internet secretary. Go find the goddamned post yourself. I was merely backing up someone who said they've seen them too.

And before you fucking ask, my name has nothing to do with any sort of racism. White is a goddamned color. Nashorn means rhino in German. Why German? Because I have german ancestry so I took German in college and because I took german I know some german words and I found Nashorn to be a cool word, meaning literally NoseHorn. Why the white nashorn? Because not only is it a cool severely endangered species that we need to protect but I have a small white glass rhino token I got when I was young at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY that I keep with me because it reminds me of the innocence of my childhood.

I didn't realize a casual internet conversation had to be peer reviewed with a notarized seal of authenticity for anyone to believe anything. This drivel, this literally nonsensical, bullshit, petty arguing is what makes r/short the laughing stock, the low-hanging fruit sub in SRD. If you don't want to believe me, or the other poster, then just don't or go peruse the annals of this sub for proof or disproof of Tesker being treated like shit as you please. But is it really that hard to believe. Some people in here are so fucking hate filled it is scary.

Give me a few days to dig up some old family pictures and get the building records for the museum so you know Im not just making it all up...

[–]BiteSizedBeastMode@HeightismReport [非表示スコア]  (4子コメント)

If we made a comment that was filled with this much burning rage, it would already be on SRD, and it would be open season on this sub for the next 48 hours.

You missed the point so hard, I fear for your sanity. The joke was that "white nation" and "white nashorn" sound similar (especially when speaking quickly). Usernames often use puns, that was the joke.

The overall point is anyone can say anything without backing it up (basically what /u/JohnGM said below), you could say you never made any antisemitic comments, and I could say no one said /u/tesker's perspective didn't belong here. I am on this board quite a lot, and I haven't that kind of thing.

Calm down bro, its just the internet. If browsing /r/short angers you this much, I think the solution is simple. Adults are expected to handle their emotions.

EDIT: I liked the part where you edited out how pissed you were over an internet conversation. You project hard.

Is /u/tesker, /u/carbonaras also /u/laurise? He deletes his account every so often. He made a "goodbye /r/short" post as his original account, but [so far] always returns with a new account.

I'm glad I got to see his comic. The artwork and its message was impressive. I read this sub in search of the truth, but also to read thoughtful perspectives from contributors with diverse backgrounds. Tesker is/was part of the diversity here. I hope he returns...

Seemed like a cool dude, enjoyed his perspective. Unfortunate that he felt the need to leave, though I can certainly understand why he did.

[–]TheWhiteNashorn 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (26子コメント)

Tesker called out an infamous poster on this subreddit for acting immature and like a douche (e.g. Replying "ok, bro" to anyone he disagreed with) the other day. This other poster and his friends then verbally attacked him calling him a traitor (like this is a war or something.) It probably had to do with that.

As this sub is notorious for standing behind the frequent misogynistic posts of a few active posters to this sub and downvoting most other rational discussion that stands against them as well as the same posters back-brigading into subredditdrama, it wouldn't surprise me that Tesker, someone who was trying to inject rational discussion without all the hate filled drivel that many others post here while being most likely the SHORTEST person here, is gone.

Saying that it sucks that women aren't interested in short guys and downvoting pictures of short girls with their tall boyfriends is not misogyny.

[–]TheWhiteNashorn 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (16子コメント)

Heaven forbid a woman, that fits the qualities of this sub, has a preference that you don't fit and shares it.

[–]irbananaking5'4" | 162 cm | Canada 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (15子コメント)

99% of women do.

It's still not misogyny.

[–]reddit-throwaway45 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (9子コメント)

Well actually a manifestation of misogyny is only seeing woman as potential sexual exploits or relationships, and therefore seeing a woman merely expressing that she isn't interested in you as something worthy of downvoting is a very mild form of it. Misogyny is not literally 'hatred of women' as people like to think.

[–]cornerspider5'4 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (8子コメント)

I have to disagree. You are confusing sexual frustration with misogyny, which is a normal reaction to rejection and denial of sexual gratification. Sexual drive and the urge to have sex is not misogyny, it's a natural consequence of being a male mammal. You are so mistaken as to think that a desirable male with a massive sex drive is a misogynist because he fucks women left, right, and center--all because he wants to have sex and could. Most short men who post here and seem negative that you think are "misogynists" because they are rejected or downvote will jump with glee when a woman shows interest in them, showing them much more love than most men ever would. It's perfectly normal to be frustrated to voice an opinion on this matter, but people such as yourself expect short men to tuck their dicks into their ass and nod with joy at photos of women with desirable tall men, reminding them of their past experiences of failure while telegraphing a message that their future is hopeless. Misogyny is much more malicious than "seeing women as sexual exploits or relationships". Males, especially mammals, of all species see females as sexual exploits or relationships, its totally natural and there's a reason why it happens and why those who fail are miserable. It's the reason why men conquer and women cling to the powerful. Tall men are seen as powerful, protective, and capable of leading and women are naturally inclined to them. To burst to your bubble, males are entitled to try to find sexual gratification with women, so long as it does not entail forceful and tasteless manipulation or use of criminal methods.

If you want to see real misogyny, go to Afghanistan or Pakistan, or parts of Africa where female genital mutilation is practiced and promoted even by MOTHERS, where women would literally laugh at you for thinking what happens on the internet, such as downvotes, constitutes misogyny. It's problematic to use a feminist definition of misogyny, which is forever and always shaming male sexuality. Furthermore, don't try to include every male action or inaction that is slightly critical or complaining of women as misogyny.

But that's not what I said was misogyny. I said "only seeing woman as potential sexual exploits or relationships" was a mild form of misogyny. They're not the same thing.

You're stuffing a lot of words into my mouth. When did I say every male action or inaction or complaining of women as misogyny. I literally just clarified one manifestation of it, and not the feminist definition. The definition (even though I think they're basically the same thing).

[–]cornerspider5'4 [非表示スコア]  (6子コメント)

Even seeing women as sexual exploits, objects, or relationships is not misogyny, unless you go by the feminist definition. A lot of men live in bars, clubs, or hire escorts their whole lives but so long as it doesn't entail the harm of women, it's not misogyny. Sure, you can see it as tasteless or primitive, but misogyny is actual physical, political, educational, and criminal sexual and physical violations imposed on women and girls. A lot of women often see men as purveyors and/or objects security, protection, monetary and financial stability, as well sexual objects, sexual exploits (the proud "slut"/"whore"), and relationships as well! Girls are even raised to see men as objects. A lot of girls are raised to see businessmen as better men than garbagemen and to pursue them when they grow up, and i think that it is totally natural and is reflected in the media. it goes both ways.

Edit: I was also speaking to readers. I admit I am trying still trying to improve my writing.

[–]sleuthoftrades5'7'' USA [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Seeing women as objects, sexual or not, is misogyny. It devalues them as a person. However, the rest isn't - as long as you still them as people.

[–]reddit-throwaway45 [非表示スコア]  (4子コメント)

I never said it didn't go both ways, I'm just saying that this is an example of it going this way. You're just trying to derail the conversation by bringing the objectification of men into this

This isn't some vague feminist definition. Check the wiki for it. And don't try saying wiki is unreliable, because it isn't when it comes to the definitions of fairly common words.

Even seeing women as sexual exploits, objects, or relationships is not misogyny

From wiki: "Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification"

Sorry man, I don't give a shit what gender politicians or wiki says, and yes, it is a vague feminist definition and wiki is at times unreliable. If you click on the wiki link of the definition you provided, you will see that it is derived from the Encyclopedia of Feminist Theories (1st ed.). London: Routledge. p. 346.

I care about what human sexuality and they way it has evolved says. Sexual objectification of men and women has always been a reality of human civilization going back as far as time can remember. Sexual objectification of men and WOMEN is not wrong. Sex is not wrong.

By the way, have you seen the Russian Empire's very own Catherine the Great's objectified erotic penis and vagina table? Or Ancient India's sex temples? Or that of the Greeks on their vases and statues and Roman's flying penises or sexual artwork in Pompei?

It's only in the past 40 or so years do people throw hissy fits because women are sexually objectified.

Just because you think 99% of women won't date you doesn't mean it applies to everyone.

[–]irbananaking5'4" | 162 cm | Canada 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well I think the actual statistic for women who are not interested in short men is like 95%.

[–]SilverSpooky5'2" [非表示スコア]  (2子コメント)

Actual statistic? Ok then provide proof. Because I know a LOT of shorter/short guys who are married and it's nowhere near that percentage.

    [–]TheWhiteNashorn -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    The fact that you think there is sides is where is whole conversation falls apart. The only two "sides" there are, are the people who think in black and white, woe is me, the world's out to get me "side" and the other "side" that has rational productive and objective discussions on the subject matter and sometimes have a quick laugh at how ridiculous the other "side" is acting.

    [–]sleuthoftrades5'7'' USA 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    There are sides when people refuse to understand other points of view, and dismiss them out-of-hand as "woe as me". The black-and-white view is that some people are completely productive and "objective" and others, that they laugh at (like we're still in high school), have a "persecution complex". Never mind the academic literature that supports positions that indicate that there is an unfair disadvantage. This is like saying there aren't "sides" to the Feminist/MRA divide.

    [–]TheWhiteNashorn 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I think you forget that a fair amount of people who post to this website actually very much are still in highschool.

    SRD isn't laughing at your problems, downplaying them, or saying they don't exist. They're laughing at how ridiculous a large portion of this sub reacts to or acts towards: their laughing (that's pretty meta,) to other short people who post here who don't fit some predetermined allowable persecuted norm of the short majority (e.g. Short girls with their tall boyfrienda, See e.g. another reply to my original post in this thread,) to threads posted on r/tall, r/srd or elsewhere where these notorious r/short posters brigade , to posts like these, and to the fact that this sub has devolved down to useless circlejerk drivel e.g. THIS VERY THREAD.

    SRD isn't laughing at your problems, downplaying them, or saying they don't exist.

    Actually they do all of that often. Look at almost any SRD thread that's talking about /r/short. Not only is there quite a bit of denying that there is any height discrimination there's often numerous insults directed at the members of /r/short.

    A few SRD members have noticed that and commented on it too. SRD downvotes the hell out of comments over there that fat shame or body shame women yet short men are fair game for insults to many of them. They see a few nasty posts over here (sometimes by trolls who disappear later) then assume every guy on /r/short is some misogynistic foaming at the mouth asshole.
