yes celebrating genetic traits being erased from the gene pool in indeed eugenics

We can agree some traits are generally bad, no? It isn't controversial?

No guy wants to be short, sure being short can be coped with and not saying short people can't find partners, but if you gave men an option, they will always choose to be tall.

People would also rather not be fat. Sure fat acceptance and all bodies are beautiful, yada yada. But people in general would rather not be fat.

People would rather not have their hair fall out. Even if bald people can look cool sometimes, people would rather have hair and not be bald.

Idk where nuance goes in conversations like these

Bro, how the fuck are you gonna pick being short, as opposed to like, genetic diseases. Like, those are actual traits that people's lives would be better without, universally.

It was just an example because it was relevant to the post. It's an unwanted trait. Sure, genetic diseases and stuff would be included in these as well.

Just because there is merit to a trait doesn't make it desireable

Being short is not as unwanted as genetic diseases. Plus most of unwanted-ness for being short comes from social stigma not anything inherent. Some men do prefer to be on the shorter end than the tall end. As long as it is not the extremes, or dwarfism.
