[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, the responses on this post really make me sad.

Discrimination against the disabled is ableism. Just because Dinklage has placed in roles in which dwarfism was central to the role in a mythical way does not negate his right to speak out. I am really stunned what people are posting here.

Take dwarfism or any other kind of disability and replace it with being black, Asian, Jewish, etc.  So a black actor in 2022 can't complain that something is racist if they played a role in the past that played to racial stereotypes.

Perhaps Dinklage played that role in Narnia because those are only the kind of roles that are offered to dwarfs. No one would even consider him for a role that doesn't call for a dwarf at the time. Now I believe they would, because he has an established career, but imagine he gets tired of the jokes and the attitude that he is only just a dwarf.  He actually addresses his role in Narnia in the podcast. [/quote]

What responses specifically are making you sad?  [/quote]
