Female Tekken pro fired by team over unacceptable comments about short men. Tanukana said: “Men who are under 5 ft 7 don’t have human rights.”.

It looks like Japan is way ahead of the U.S. when it come to equal rights for men.

JohnGawel · 2022-02-22T20:52:43+00:00

I think that this type horrible behaviour should lead to social stigma and be unacceptable. I'm sure that this type cruel statements about men who aren't tall led many men with body dysmorphic disorder or other conditions to suicide. It's also ableist for people with dwarfism and similar things. But because mainly women attack not tall men, society is totally apathetic about this and anaesthetized about pain of other human being.

We don't talk here about women preferences. Someone preferences never justify regular bullying and hate speech about different people, it's not excuse for hurting other people by abusive behaviours like dehumanising men who aren't above average height. It's vulgar body shaming, about thing that isn't bad and is very hard to change (by expensive and dangerous operations). People who like making men insecure about their body and acceptance of it are just usual sadist.

Rikolai17 · 2022-02-22T20:31:04+00:00

I'm 5'4” and this kind of shit really makes me feel bad about myself, it's not like I can control it at all, and the "Body positive" shit only apply to women

NeoNotNeo · 2022-02-22T20:29:13+00:00

Is she cancelled? Is her career over ?? If not why not.

Warder766312 · 2022-02-22T21:02:49+00:00

I guess it would be offensive to say to her that you need a c cup to have human rights.

I’m 5,11 and I’m still the shortest man in my family and the second shortest overall.

Graduated from the college of reddit's FDS

Ok_Life8947 · 2022-02-23T04:10:14+00:00

Oh, what a pleasant thing to see. Another win for Japan.

Oncefa2 · 2022-02-22T23:22:23+00:00

r/heightism btw.

It intersects with men's rights.

MrSnrlub · 2022-02-23T03:52:11+00:00

Apparently they do young lady.

bfte2 · 2022-02-23T07:18:58+00:00

One down, millions to go.

lukrtv · 2022-02-23T12:59:18+00:00

Altough majority of people treat it as a meme for me being 5'6" it's just a little bit of justice. Women tend not to favour short stature dating-wise to say at least. I am diagnosed with BDD (height).

I wish to never have children because there's 51% chance of them being born male and going through pain of being lonely and increased chances of being bullied at school.

rodneytheproducer86 · 2022-02-22T23:44:26+00:00

Serves her right finally some accountability is being dished out I'm guessing because she's a woman she can get away with saying that right lol not today In my Vince McMahon voice you're fired 🤣

Machomuk89 · 2022-02-23T03:16:28+00:00

Worst thing is that she is far from the only woman who feels this way. Most are just smart enough to keep quiet about it and still receive simpbucks from the manlets.

GreatGrizzly · 2022-02-23T07:01:38+00:00

Interestingly enough her shaming short men wasn't really a big deal. It was only until they found that she was insulting women that it suddenly became a big deal.

The patriarchy at its finest! 🙄

LawUntoChaos · 2022-02-23T10:15:21+00:00

Stupid and bigoted comment to be sure.

Not sure she deserved to be fired.

TembaHisArmsWider · 2022-02-23T16:38:55+00:00

As a free speech proponent, I’m not sure I agree with this firing. She’s abhorrent for sure, but being fired for opinions is a dangerous door to leave open.

bulletkiller06 · 2022-02-23T17:57:44+00:00

Dude, wtf, she got fired over something that fucking stupid?

I'm not for hate speech in any format but "men under 5ft 7 don't have human rights" is blatantly a joke no matter how much sincerity you put into the delivery or how much you stick to the gag. It's no reason to end someone's career.

Beckamabobby · 2022-02-23T00:46:45+00:00

Based team

Ok_Life8947 · 2022-02-23T04:11:58+00:00

Ah, look at Japan doing equality the right way!

fhkqwdas · 2022-02-23T18:49:22+00:00

It was probably a joke.

someshitstick · 2022-02-24T02:03:57+00:00

Honestly thats just really really funny comment

RedPilledTheHardWay · 2022-02-24T12:14:38+00:00

Women with who weigh more than 150 should be yeeted into the sun.

LOLOL SO FUNNY

Rawrtherton · 2022-02-23T03:48:47+00:00

A big piece of the context that's missing is that in Japanese gaming parlance, jinken (lit. human rights) means a meta build.

So this is really blown out of proportion. And it's true. Short men don't have the current meta build as you can see on like every dating site.

Feministsareincels · 2022-02-23T03:49:22+00:00

Feminism needs to be outlawed

bennybeckler · 2022-02-23T00:47:41+00:00

Suddenly I don’t care about her rights in the slightest I wonder why that is

throwaway3357305 · 2022-02-23T07:25:32+00:00

See this is the type of whore that has a price. Most guys in my industry take a trip to Japan with deep pockets and she will do filthy things in a bedroom and then go back to her life.

Trust me with these gamer girls. They are getting pumped by the high rollers in Japan. They are not taken seriously most of the time.

Abiogeneralization · 2022-02-23T12:43:11+00:00

I’m not into this story.

One, this was a misunderstanding of an idiom that doesn’t really mean “human rights.” It means a meta video game build.

Two, I am not into censorship. I don’t like the double standard where it’s unacceptable to make any negative comment about women’s bodies, but I don’t want to fight censorship with censorship. Human bodies are weird and diverse. Why wouldn’t we talk about them both positively and negatively?

-AcodeX · 2022-02-23T00:20:39+00:00

How is this progress? Getting people fired over stupid shit they've said isn't a goal I think we should aspire to. The usual double standard on these issues are terrible, but ruining people's lives over this shit isn't good either.

SnooPets2522 · 2022-02-23T12:18:46+00:00

Though bodyshaming towards men is normalised is society it's not normal

vamp-is-dead · 2022-02-23T15:05:36+00:00

context (language and translation) and knowledge of the person is a big factor in this.

Tanukana is a known shit-talker in the asian FGC.

if this was said in jest/satire not a big deal

nikgtasa · 2022-02-23T01:20:52+00:00

She also said a lot of other stuff. Really funny, shame pro scene doesn't have more trash talk.

CampingPlayer · 2022-02-23T06:58:00+00:00

Well thank fuck I'm 6'1 I guess

Svenskbtch · 2022-02-23T11:47:30+00:00

The bar sure is higher. Nevertheless, at least there is one.....

BuzzOff2011 · 2022-02-23T16:15:40+00:00

Don't show this to north American feminists they'll probably cancel the tekken team lol

VanillaPancakes46 · 2022-02-23T17:18:38+00:00

She decided to one up billy eilish

qianxiaonai · 2022-02-24T13:38:11+00:00

Rob Henderson (an orphan washed through state care system, an air force veteran, and Yale and Cambridge academic who's been on Jordan Peterson's podcast) published a study on twitter showing height and income needed to offset for women's preferences on twitter. If you're 5 foot then you need 317k extra annual income to match a 6 foot man in sexual market value.

ColonelCuntface · 2022-02-23T07:41:12+00:00

Interestingly, the Japanese word for human rights is ‘jinken,’ but in regards to video games, the term means an item or character that players need to have. This has resulted in a bit of debate over her true intentions.

An edgy joke lacking context and jumping over a language barrier, where she also said the same thing about women with small breasts.

The FGC is built around rivalries and shit-talking. 1 on 1 combat tends to attract big personalities. You sanitise the FGC and it loses much of its charm.

Yeah, I get why an org would drop her, they're concerned about PR. That said, I don't see a world where everyone's afraid of saying anything for causing others offense as a win for men.

I hate to say it, but this is one of those few scenarios where "man up and get over it" actually holds some credence.

Edit: Yeah, don't try and make a rebuttal or anything, just downvote and hide lul. Maybe in a couple years you'll be able to sack me from my job for saying something that made you uncomfortable. Christ, the world is going to be so fucking boring when we're all talking like a PR firm.

jonnyhaldane · 2022-02-22T22:29:06+00:00

Why was she fired? It sounds to me like she is defending men. She said ‘don’t’ not ‘shouldn’t’.
