A new meme from Short Kingz.
This "Fitness And Femininity We Deserve" is a response meme to the recent social media trend dubbed, "The height difference I deserve" shared by many women on the many social platforms.
The purpose of us creating the image is to show the absurdity of the trend.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
hello, im new here. came across this website because of a watermark on a meme.
love the site, not a fan of the name.
i've always found the term 'short king' as derogatory.
its patronizing, condescending, and is a mockery to short men.
Hi @RustyTheDoomer Thanks for joining ShortKingz!
The term "Short King" was originally meant as a term of endearment and celebration, and that is one of undertones of Short Kingz.
"A short king isn’t just any male-presenting person of modest stature – it’s someone who has the strength of character to flourish in the face of conventional male beauty standards."
The above quote is an except from a March 21, 2021 blog post from the site "Evolving Folks Project". You can find that post here.
Your dissatisfaction with the term is most likely due to observing those who have little respect for shorter guys either way use it as a dismissive term, and thus you have internalized the term as having that negative connotation. These dismissive attitudes have existed long before the term "short king" entered pop-culture.
We on the other hand love the term and and view it only in it's positive and initial intent, which was to celebrate, inspire and motivate. "Short Kingz" wasn't our first branding, but it's where we landed, and we will continue to move forward with investing in this brand and are very confident about it.
Thank you for your concern, and thank you for being a part of this wonderful online community.
