Short guys - Discussion
Added 2018-02-03 12:49:02 +0000 UTCYou guys may have noticed I like to write about short people. I'm a short guy! I'm a fit and athletic short guy, and it's no secret to me that the reason I originally created Darian (and later, Jack) was to write about people similar to myself. Because no one else will.
Of all the sexist stuff you find in the world, this one in particular is a sneaky mother fucker, and that's that short guys with smaller frames don't exist. The one about this that really gets me is that it isn't known.
Overweight people struggle to be recognized and used in movies/tv shows, but it does happen. Women with small breasts struggle with the same sexism, but that one is well known.
Short guys with small frames? If it's not a goofy sitcom or nerdy tech role in a movie, short guys with small frames don't exist. It's a silent issue, and I HATE that.
Write what you know, right?
