Well the short guy was also a total fuckwad Farquaad

The reality of the situation for most short men who complain about women not liking them because of their height.

Lord Farquaad- king of local Nice Guys™ chapter

Should have used all that castle money to just hire whores.

A fascist or an ogre you genuinely have a lot in common with

Fascist got that capitalist money tho

I thought the message was that ogres had layers and parfait was really delicious.

There is also this thing called personality and Shrek was all aroud a better person.

Mmm that feels like a pretty big stretch. The whole point is that Fiona loves Shrek for who he is, not what he looks like. She didn't become an "ugly green person", because she was beautiful to Shrek and Shrek was beautiful to her.

Also, even if the idea was short=ugly (which I don't think it was, more just a king with a big ego and small stature), Shrek 2 is completely centered around Shrek feeling insecure next to what turns out to be a conventionally attractive bad guy.

Not all ugly people are bad, but bad people are definitely ugly (short being ugly, of course).

Well there’s only one bad person in Shrek 1, so that’s not really a good sample. If we move to the sequels there’s Charming who’s good looking but also an ass.

Yes yes we’ve all seen “the gif”

Not at that particular moment at least. I don't think that rises to the level of you are a bad person as a whole.

It's a joke, not a character analysis.

True. I chose to be a huge, handsome guy so I chose neither and don't care about these losers
