I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
I think being short is a special kind of hell. Because with every other kind of disability, you don't laugh at people being sad or disappointed about having it, but if you are a manlet and realize you are a subhuman sack of shit then you get even more made fun of. And if you actually protest then the laughter is amplified even more. It's some kind of totalitarian hell where every move in every direction solicits humiliation and laughter.
Why isn't there a religion out there where the worst punishment is being born as a short male, and the worse you've been, the shorter you end up? Seems almost intuitive to me.

Unironically most professional athletes could do this to even non-manlets. It's over for not-swole-cels.
