Heightism. You used the word short, which clearly means that you called him short, and by using it as a joke you're implying that short people exist for your amusement.

And ableism....they exist solely for our "sport", if you will.

I had an epiphany last night while reading A+. I can actually see a need for an anti-harassment policy, strictly enforced, at conventions.

There's a petition circulating. . now I didn't sign it because I'm not planning on attending any of these rape fests in the near future however if you are planning on going, you might what to add your voice.

Suppose, just suppose, you want to make a joke. You think long and hard about how this joke may be perceived at the conference. You think it's kind of cute, kind of clever and you may have spent hours writing it for someone in particular.

You tell your joke without offending the recipient

HOWEVER !

A special snowflake hears it and applies higher level social justice reasoning thinking logic whatever to it and twists it into something so odious, something so offensive that you're out on your ass because that special snowflake is waving the anti-harassment policy around and demanding disciplinary action.

Ha ha, you say, Stout, you funny guy, nobody's that stoopid.

May I present to you that very scenario happening only yesterday over on A+

Yes, you heard it there first. Regardless of content, the limerick form itself is sexual harassment... because Eowyn says so.

I call ErotophobiaWP, which is a form of oppression.

The word erotophobia has been used by anti-oppression activists to describe sex negative attitudes as a form of discrimination and oppression (akin to homophobia).

There once was a poster at Atheism plus
Who decided to kick up a fuss
They objected to this
Were offended by that
Now they're sure you are not one of us!

Here follows the tale of the wife of an Ent
a fantastic Shield-Maiden unbent
she fought for the forum
demanding decorum
so jokers had nowhere to vent.

:o

Being a tall person myself, yes, short people exist solely for my amusement.

Oh. My. How do these people function? I'm not referring to Entnongenderspecificspouse necessarily. I mean there's no accounting for nutcases headcases mental illness psychological distinguishedness. But the way the mods and cronies all started to pile on.

"Well limericks, if you study their roots, are in essence a form of sexual harassment, ACTUALLY". Somebody needs to kidnap these people and tie them to a seat in the front row of a comedy club.

I'm no longer sure these are real people. I think they are characters from mysteriously popular British comic Viz.
 
Does anyone else think that the folks posting on the A+ forum come off as completely humorless?

It makes me wonder if there is anything they can possibly enjoy.

"Here is a bottle of champagne, on the house ma'am."

"Well what I object to is your automatic cis-centric transphobia and calling me 'maam' simply because I identify as womyn gender, and then you show your obvious patriarchal misogyny by offering me fizzy alcohol dripped from the neck/glans of the bottle/phallus you MONSTER!"
