Is there a more positive version of r/short?

The issue is there are a lot of short people on that sub that substitute being short as an excuse for all their failings.

A tall guy that is ugly is going to be just as bad off, if not more, than a short guy. There's no hiding or blending in for the tall guy. He goes out and it's Godzilla on the rampage everywhere he goes. On top of that bullshit every short guy with an inferiority complex wants to pick a fight with said tall guy to prove themselves big, tough men. On top of that, because said guy has the "priviledge" of being tall, he is expected, socially, to just laugh it off or let it go. If a short guy picks a fight and wins, he's an "amazing" underdog. A tall guy does that and he's a bully.

You wouldn't learn any of that stuff on r/short (or any other sub, tbf) because it's so narrowly focused on personal reality and doesn't even want to consider the possibility that, you know, height is not the cause of nor the fix to every problem you have!

R/short can be ok sometimes, but it can and does become an echo chamber and like a magnifying lens using being tall as a source of light, focusing that light on all short people. A self created flame starter that can then be used by the more bitter trolls to justify making provocative, hate filled posts in response.

That shit stands way out to and does r/short absolutely no good in the eyes of those outside that sub. It only leads to others hating them as a result.

It should be a place to vent, God knows everyone needs someplace like that, but it should also be more than that. Otherwise it's just a troll factory, and very little changes for posters for the better.
