Peter Dinklage and the hypocrisy of Disney (and woke culture today)

Anonymous
Disagree with..

they can't seem to clean or feed themselves until Snow White comes along, because dwarfs apparently are so childlike they need a non disabled person to take care of them).


1. Snow White cleans, cooks for them because they are housing her, and she wants to be useful. What else can she do to be useful during that time period? She certainly couldn't go in the mines with them
2. A lot of men today also rely on women to cook, clean for them. I guess they are chldlike, too.

You are reading too much into this. Dinklage is a great actor, but IMO, a bit full of himself. I've seen interviews of him. Not the nicest guy.

Wokeness is going too far. Now we have to cancel fairy tales.

How about they remake Snow White and the Three Stooges. That was a great movie.

Are we objecting to the word 'dwarf' because if so, I don't get it. I though "little people' was the term to use.
If we called them 'Gnomes" is that better ?

This post is exactly why Snow White is offensive. this right here shows why feeding into stereotypes is damaging because there are people dumb in enough to believe it.

I guess all minstrel characters are ok too. It's just make believe. Nothing to see here.

you're horrible. Dwarf is not a bad word. The M word is.

I agree with him, but his beef is not with wokeness or cancel culture which are two of the biggest Republican bogeyman of this current mileau. His issues are with the hypocrisy of large corporations and the system that incentivizes lip service to diversity and inclusion for profits and good press without actually doing anything to further these goals.

This. So Lord of the Rings wasn't a problem because it's clear that Dwarves are a separate race like Elves? Which is what I always assumed the ones in Snow White are. There's also a witch and a magic talking mirror and a poisoned apple and a prince and all that crap. I mean....come on.

He’s not mounting a legal challenge, genius 🙄. He’s discussing the promotion of stereotypes.

Ok, but the title is not the 7 "M word", its the 7 Dwarves

Dwarves aren't real: In Germanic folklore, including Germanic mythology, a dwarf is an entity that dwells in the mountains and in the earth. The entity is associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, and crafting. Dwarfs are sometimes described as short and ugly. However, some scholars have questioned whether this is a later development stemming from comical portrayals of the beings.[1] Dwarfs continue to be depicted in modern popular culture in various media.

So what is the issue?? He is mad about a FICTIONAL character being represented as defined?

Just change it to “Snow White and the Seven Karens” and watch all these hit dogs holler.

Please stop being logical. People here don't realize that magic and poisoned apples and talking mirrors aren't real.

No no no. LOTR wasn't a problem because HE benefited from that series.

It doesn't make you look or sound smart if you use a word that you can't spell.
