While some people may find these jokes to be funny, they can also be hurtful. The members of One Direction have spoken about how these jokes have affected them, and they have said that they would like people to stop making them.
In 2014, One Direction member Louis Tomlinson spoke out against size jokes in an interview with The Sun. He said, "It's not funny. It's not clever. It's just hurtful."
Tomlinson went on to say that the jokes had a negative impact on his self-esteem. He said, "It made me feel like I wasn't good enough. I felt like I was less of a man because I wasn't tall."
One Direction member Liam Payne also spoke out against size jokes in an interview with Attitude magazine in 2015. He said, "We're all different shapes and sizes. We're all beautiful in our own way."
Payne went on to say that he hoped that people would stop making size jokes about the members of One Direction. He said, "We're just trying to be ourselves. We're not trying to be perfect. We're not trying to be tall. We're just trying to be us."
Unfortunately, size jokes about the members of One Direction continue to be made. However, the members of the band have shown that they are strong and confident, and they are not afraid to speak out against these jokes.
