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 TheLowerView.

"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. "TheLowerView" 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.

IMHO, it's a little wild to log in only one time and then tell an entire website to change it's whole brand without offering to help, invest or even at the very least give a suggestion.

I have to disagree. I've been on this site through its several branding changes and think the current is the strongest and should stick.

Kudos to the owners of the site for making this amazing and unique space on this corner of the web.

Imagine having to record a two minute video disparaging men you don't like instead of just pursuing the men you do like. 

To me it seems like short men aren't the real issue.

You can find the original Instagram video here.

If this isn't petty, I don't know what is.

Torey Lanez is 5'3 and in prison, and his ex moved on to an NBA player with the same name (different spelling).

These broads know how to get underneath the skin, even from miles away.
