I'm relatively short and wide in shoulders. Fuck me, I guess, for feeling represented?

You should feel represented. And so should girl gamers who the Deep rock Devs have continually said aren't worth the effort of even 1 female character.

And while we're at it they should add tall dwarves too! So anyone tall who plays it feels represented

Are tall people literally half the human population? Are they a historically marginalized group? Is there an entire body of literature and studies examining the ways they are not repented in media?
