Surely not? So in Victorian times you could go to a freak show and they would be all "roll up roll up, come and see a real dwarf - no tricks here, this is a medically certified member of the dwarven race, you may enter this tent for just one half of a shilling and behold this bearded half-man from the magic mines of deepest darkest Moria where their minuscule height and stocky build has allowed his people to uncover sparkling treasures beyond your wildest dreams" and so on and so forth... so you pay to go in and see someone who is five foot six? I would be distinctly underwhelmed. How tall does someone have to be to be a giant in medical terms, I guess about six two or so?

I never cared about how tall I was until I (inexplicably late on, really) discovered that women tend to prefer taller men.
I think it was probably the advent of Tinder which made this so glaring.
For the first time in my life I felt underprivileged, and the very next day I burned my copy of Mein Kampf.

The Napoleon complex is named after Napoleon, the first Emperor of the French. Common folklore supposes that Napoleon compensated for his lack of height by seeking power, war, and conquest. This view was fostered and encouraged by the British, who waged a propaganda campaign to diminish their enemy in print and art, during his life and after his death. In 1803, he was mocked in British newspapers as a short-tempered small man.[2] According to some historians, he was actually 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 metres) tall, an inch or so above the period's average adult male height, depending on the source chosen.[3] Other historians assert that he was 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 metres) because he was measured on a British island 28 years after the French adopted the metric system.[4] Napoleon was often seen with his Imperial Guard, which contributed to the perception of his being short because the Imperial Guards were tall men. Other names for the purported condition include Napoleonic complex, Napoleon syndrome and Short man syndrome.[5][6][7][4]

Speaking as a quite short man, there is a real and ineradicable sense of resentment towards the tall. By definition, they look down on you. And I've noticed (or is this just projection?) that tall people tend to be quite snooty and superior. They're used to being deferred to. They take the lead. Whereas the short man is always jumping up and down to get attention. He knows on some level that the tall man could give him a piggyback.

In terms of tall people on here (although he's not really on here anymore) I seem to remember Rudewhy was about 6'7".
I could tell by the way he was looking down at me that he was thinking "I could step on this guy and smear him across the floor and nobody would even notice"
