Post-Boomer Society: "Fairytales are packed with racism, misogyny, and the sexual harassment of women bordering on rape."

Two things...are the dwarves in Snow White ACTUAL human dwarves, or the magical creatures seen in The Hobbit?
Secondly, who's making fun of them? They literally take Snow White in and protect her. They are largely the heroes of the story.

"Dopey" is a pretty common name I guess.

Be seems like an angry dwarf.

Look let's be honest, anybody that has to deal with the struggles of being a dwarf is going to have some sort of emotional problem
He really thinks because he's entertainmemt's #1 dwarf that he can affect the movie industry? His entire role on GOT was being the outcast and treated like a lesser human. Did he quit? No. Did he bitch? No. Tall or short these actors sell their souls for fame and wealth, then once it's acquired they start preaching about virtues. They're empty shells like politicians

Disney should reach out and see if he's interested in a role in the remake...

Uh, its a fantasy cartoon. Does he associate or identify with any other fables? They're not real.
Was Jack and the Bean stalk offensive to Andre the Giant?
If anything he should be offended by Under the Rainbow.
How we crossed the line where fantasy land is offensive?

He's saying Disney is trying to be so progressive by making Snow White Latin yet they still have "Dwarves". He's taking a shot at Disney but you're missing his point.
How is eliminating dwarfs progressive? Should it just be seven non-vertically challenged individuals who find her? What the hell is so offensive here? The dwarfs are heroes of the story, in large part, and are not degraded for laughs because of their height.
This world is beyond crazy.

So all magical dwarves are brilliant?
Can't you just feel the HATE the creators had for Dwarves here??

The first thing Snow White says to them is, "Oh...you're little men."
She literally calls them by today's preferred nomenclature (little people)...in 1937. But...nope, not enough.

They aren’t fricking midgets lol.
They are dwarves. Mythical dwarves. They are some gang of disabled people that found each other. Lol.

More or less offensive than the time Johnny Depp and Ricky Gervais put Warwick Davis in a Toilet.
Life's too Short was HILARIOUS - but i don't think you could make it today, and its less than a decade old.

Ricky made it up to Warwick letting him go around the world and ridicule this orange headed buffoon:

You know they could've chose any fruit in the world to be poisonous. They could've made one up. It didn't even have to be a fruit. That's why I can't watch this film, it goes to the laziest most tired old cliche and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. As an apple farmer it is an offensive film.

I'm perfectly fine with not giving these frickin' midgets any work.

Peter Dinklage is offensive.
