tomenzgg@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever been rejected just because of your height?English2·4 days agoWeird; I mean, I know it’s anicdotal but I’m 5’6" and I’ve never had anyone so much as even mention my height (maybe when around other men when I was younger once or twice but the bulk of my friends have always been more women such that I don’t truly remember).
I guess it doesn’t really contribute to the thread but I was just genuinely surprised at such a difference of experience.
But people who limit their choices to strict deterministic traits tend to completely skip right over awesome people, and then they wonder why they’re partners are so terrible.
True as Hell, though.
Probably; I remember there definitely was for Emma Watson.
There’s a bit during the credits of the movie The Master of Disguise where someone, while asking if the main character can turn into absolutely anyone, floats the idea of the Olsen Twins; they were 16 when that movie was released (which probably means they were 15 when the scene was filmed).
While the punchline is funny, it’s probably worth at least likewise considering that Natalie Portman’s experience with her first film resulted in – at 13 years old – being sexualized pretty much instantaneously, an experience which may’ve (I can’t find any quotes confirming or denying) impacted how she negotiates with nudity in roles she takes throughout her career.

She never outright said as much but I always assumed my mother did the same for similar reasons (considering me and all my siblings have anxiety and depression, I suspect poorly self-medicating, on her end, but I’m not one to armchair diagnose); there was just too much…vigor in the punishment for me to think it was proper formation that was at the forefront of her mind.
Not even just exotic. They’re known for being germ vectors, in general.
