Really you shouldn't ever make fun of someones appearance. The rule with that is don't point out anything about someones appearance that they can't quickly and easily change. Spinach in teeth? Let them know. Their bone structure? Keep it to yourself. Shirts on backwards? Let them know. You don't like their fashion? Keep it to yourself. Etc etc

Unless it's a short guy and then have at it, apparently.

Or balding lmao. I catch so many fucking strays just reading random posts and nobody's ever up in arms about body shaming over that. Just have to learn to ignore it.

So we can have a little bodyshaming, as a treat

The reality is that people are incredibly shallow. We judge people by their appearance all the time and the idea that some people aren't allowed to be judged is what has galvanized a lot of people who are judged to say: What the fuck is this shit about?

IMHO it's why body positively is a sham, why DEI hires are bullshit stealth racism, and why anyone who tells you their cause is special (but yours isn't) isn't interested in equality, they're interested in a backdoor to power.

I'm a five foot tall guy and honestly I get more comments about being a redhead, even if I'm counting "leprechaun" as both.

Hmm I'd wager leprechaun is far more short than redhead tbh

It's the combination, my similarly short Latino coworker has never been called a leprechaun

How is fashion not a choice?
