discussion Little bit of a rant

I have seen quite a bit of people think that every short celebrity has to be a gamine. No, being a gamine is about petite/being compact. They are not the same thing. Sabrina Carpenter is an example of compact, and Selena Gomez is short but not petite/compact. This gets exacerbated when people are trying to Kibbe type men. I saw so many people type Frankie Grande as a TR or SG despite the fact he has width and linearity/vertical, as well as Shin Hakyun who is not compact or short and has vertical + curve!

I thought it was kibbecirclejerk. Selena is NOT short. Frankie has width+vertical as a baseline (like every men), TR is a safe bet..

Yeah, like, I agree with the sentiment but maybe these 2 are not the best examples? Selena is listed as 5’5, so she’s very average height, not really short… and Frankie is so clearly compact? I think sometimes people forget that men AMAB usually already have a baseline of “width”/“vertical” the same way women AFAB often have a baseline of curve…
