First of all, I do respect flws, And want them to earn money And do well. And I relate to women, but I still like male sports more.
However, that is not the point. MM is so small, that people rarely know or see anyone as small as him. 5.3, 125 lbs for a grown up man is very unnatural And very uncommon. It is like comparing the Paralympics to the olympics. The athletes do great things, And we want them to succeed too, but we still don't care too much. (I know The example is a bit extreme, but it was to prove my point).
I believe this is the reason people don't relate to MM.
