Now this is equality!

HethLedgerBestBatman · 5 months

As a semi-tall introvert this would negate my ability to maintain eye contact while staring at the ground.

I know it would bother me far more than it should.

BroboCop3 · 5 months

Well, that's better than a Harrison Bergeron-esque alternative: cutting the legs of tall people down until everyone's the same height.

artjerk · 5 months

As a guy who is shorter than most other people, I do have to say that I don't know if it is worse to be short or to have to walk awkwardly in proportion to your shortness.

The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal.

I guess everyone just adjusts when a new tallest person enters.

"If you were wondering why everyone had to come in different shapes and sizes, you may not be the only one. A certain Mr. Hans Hemmert threw a party in which he requested all his guests to wear shoe extenders that would turn them all 6 feet and 7 inches tall, or 2 meters tall. While I am not sure what made him arrive at this idea, it sure seems like it was yet another way of showing what socialism does to people, in the quest of reaching equality."

Someone with computer skills should Photoshop "really tall redditor" into this photo.

colossus16 · 5 months

I remember a short story when everyone was forcibly made equal with heavy weights to compensate for strength and masks to compensate for beauty. There was some criminal who took off his handicaps and made out with a beautiful chick and was killed at the end. It was pretty weird. This was like the first dystopian scifi I ever read.

sportsfreak1034 · 5 months

Not completely equal. The white people clearly don't let the Asians join in.

Th3Redeyedjedi · 5 months

somehow the Asian chick still managed to be shorter than everyone else.

AssBandicoot · 5 months

A friend of mine is 6"1. While shopping the other day, a lady gazed up and admired her height. She then mentioned that she was a feminist and thanked her helping to equalize the gap of heights between men and women. WUT.

analogkid01 · 5 months

I can see a few awkward second dates as a result of this party.

Captcha_Imagination · 5 months

Short people will be wobbly and have an awkward gait. An athletic gait is more important than a height for dominance in a pack of humans. The tallest is rarely the alpha of the pack.

JewBear3 · 5 months

Eventually we'd discriminate against people who had really big blue things.

I'm 6'5". I would just take the tallest shoes there.

Short people should know their place.

Equality used to mean equal human rights for all. Now it just means making people with self esteem problems feel better about themselves.

No, it's a pain in the ass when someone even taller walks in and EVERYONE ELSE has to change shoes.

It's not because you then start discriminating on the height of the shoes.

They should have fat suits as well. And also masks in case someone has an ugly face. Maybe an entire costume. You know what let's just let nobody see each other and they can talk on the internet on some sort of message board.

i doubt they make giant blue stilt things that would level them out to 7 foot guy.

problem here is that you'll be fighting the urge to look down to see how much of a boost they're getting, so you're still looking at their height really...
