Because taller girls often have the same height insecurity that shorter guys have, so it's like they bond through their struggle.

I wouldn't be so quick to say We. A bunch of tools from /pol/ that linger here maybe, but at best, people that got what they want by having her stop. That this tactic worked is sad, but not as sad as those that took joy in something so petty. To be at that level of nihilism and to call it something high is the height of self-oblivion, yet each is full of unwarranted pride. All the marks of a negative narcissism that revels in flipping the table when their actual merit to anything is put into question. Basically thought processes as libidinal energy that can find no outlet. Without intimacy, words bullets cars and ideas become akin to sperm.

If only they were controllable, containable, made into conduits for our ends, then we wouldn't have to worry about their stupidity, we'd just build targets for them and make money off their competitive nature like jolly libertarians.
