Jason “Wee Man” Acuna weighs in on the Snow White/ Dwarf controversy

Peter Dinklage is the spokesman for actors with dwarfism, didn't you know? His word is gospel in that community. It has nothing to do with eliminating the competition in a very niche branch of acting or anything.

Because this angry elf said it's backwards...

I wasn't aware this was a controversy.

Where do we stand in Oompaloompas?

They cast Blanca and the 7 weirdo libs.

The issue I have is if they think that Snow White doesn't work in today's climate and they don't intend to stick to the source material then why not just call it something else?

They basically said that snow white doesn't have to be white, that the dwarves were offensive so they are just using odd folks and that this won't be a damsel in distress movie where the prince saves her. Again, if none of the core pieces of snow white are going to be adhered to, then why not just call it "Blanca in the Woods" or something?

You still get to make the woke drivel that you would like to make without ruining a classic that you already have.

I know they cast Ariel as a black woman in the little mermaid but they at least stuck to the source material.

For the sake of inclusivity Disney has opted to call these updated characters the seven "magical creatures."

F'ing Disney needs to just die off......

I got high as frick with Wee Man at a bar in East Honolulu years ago. He was with a blonde that looked like a prime Trish Stratus.

Wee Man is actually a great representation for dwarfism, in my opinion. His skits on Jackass emphasized his size. He used it to his advantage and made people laugh. He showed he was a normal guy just like everyone else, just small. He wasn't ashamed and didn't hide it.

The midget bar fight was the greatest lol if I were in that bar during that I would’ve died laughing.

Another was a domestic situation between three small individuals at a bar which turned into a circus full of small people as cops and paramedics dealing with the situation.

This was great. The bar patrons were trying so, so, so hard not to laugh their asses off.

Ironically, he got the role in GOT because the character is "defective." Additionally, he played a giant in Thor for satirical reasons.

I don't think he even really said that those kinds of roles shouldn't exist at all. It seemed he was really just saying he hates those roles when they are written as stereotypical "HA HA TINY CLOWNS" w/zero character development that often gets used w/dwarfs in fantasy movies. I thought it felt more like a rant on lazy writing than anything.
