    He certainly took the roll through and cashed that check.

    If it was so offensive, why did he take the roll?

    Get paid, trash your movie, that's Hollywood.

    What role are you talking about? Dinklage takes roles for fully fleshed out human characters. The Snow White dwarfs, both in the original fairy tale and the Disney animated movie, were cartoonish fantasy characters more akin to the mythical dwarves of LOTR. I never viewed them as people with dwarfism.

    I suppose there is a good faith debate to be had here about how to give more opportunities for actors with dwarfism in big budget movies, while not putting them in roles that make a mockery of their condition. I think most of the right wing folks hooting and hollering about this on the internet are just enjoying the opportunity to dunk on “woke” people (who knew being sensitive to the representation of people’s physical conditions is “woke”).

    this midget was offended that there was going to be midgets in the movie
    So he went on a rant so Disney bent the knee and all those non rich midgets lost their jobs

    pretty simple

    His point is that movie studios should work on projects that don’t promote backward stereotypes of people who live with certain physical conditions (such as dwarfs living outside human communities in a circus or in a cave). I fully agree with that sentiment.

    Disney’s options were: (1) present these dwarfs in a way that it’s clear they aren’t intended to be people with dwarfism (such as making them cartoons in an otherwise “live-action” remake), (2) rework the story with some “woke” political message about how people with such physical conditions should be treated, or (3) present them as people with dwarfism who just happen to live in a cave like that’s a normal and fine thing.

    Maybe Disney could have employed people with dwarfism as voice actors or motion capture actors. Maybe they could have layered a bunch of makeup and prosthetics onto them, like Gimli in LOTR. The probable reality is that anything they did, including canceling the project altogether, someone would find a reason to criticize them on it.

    Who was employed and then lost their job because of something Dinklage said?

    Even if that happened, as unfortunate as it is for those folks, it doesn’t change the correctness of Dinklage’s position. Rather than contributing to an expectation that people with dwarfism only appear in movies if they are playing some comic-relief fantasy role, studios can put out better roles that treat them as fully fleshed out humans.

    I didn’t see a single post in the first three pages indicating a person with dwarfism was let go from the production on account of this controversy. Don’t wish to spend more time hunting for this, so I’ll just assume you imagined that.

    I’ll take grok’s response as the “truth” here:


    There’s no definitive evidence that anyone involved in the production of Disney’s live-action Snow White was directly let go as a result of Peter Dinklage’s comments. Dinklage, in a 2022 podcast with Marc Maron, criticized the remake, calling it a “****ing backwards” story for its portrayal of dwarfs, while also questioning Disney’s progressive casting of a Latina actress (Rachel Zegler) as Snow White without rethinking the broader narrative. Disney responded by stating they were “taking a different approach” with the seven characters, consulting with the dwarfism community, and ultimately opted to depict them as CGI “magical creatures” rather than casting dwarf actors.

    The controversy sparked debate, with some dwarf actors, like Dylan Postl, expressing frustration that Dinklage’s remarks may have cost them potential roles, arguing that seven job opportunities were effectively erased. Posts on X and articles from outlets like the Daily Mail echoed this sentiment, with headlines suggesting Dinklage’s comments led Disney to “cancel” the dwarfs, implying a loss of work for actors in the dwarfism community. However, no specific names of production staff or actors who were hired and then fired have been documented in credible reports tied directly to Dinklage’s statements.

    Tucker Carlson. :rolleyes:

    None of this validates your statement that dwarf actors employed by Disney were fired on account of Dinklage expressing an opinion that remaking Snow White and the 7 ****ing DWARFS is a bad idea that hurts people with dwarfism in the grand scheme of things.

    Imagine if this story was calling Snow White and the 7 Chinamen, and Jackie Chan was like “what the hell are you doing remaking this movie with those characters?” Should he be blamed if some Asian actors lose out on those parts?
