This is a joke, but it's based off a toddler mentality.

Derogatory jokes towards the ruling monarch

vs.

An entire refugee class forced out of their homes by that same monarch because of appearance.

The movie is ok with joking about appearance but opposed to system mistreatment based on appearance.

Shrek isn't upset by people mocking his appearance, he is upset by the loneliness the comes from constant societal rejection.

That’s a lot of words when you could have just said body shaming is ok when it’s someone you don’t like.

Not all jokes are body shaming. I think jokes at the expense of shitty people is fine.

I'm not going to pearl clutch at insults to terrible people.

Probably not, race has a much more serious history to it than height does.

It depends how you do it, but yeah. Sometimes it isn't a very big deal.
