I thought they didn't cast LP to avoid Backlash over stéréotypes
Didn't Peter Dinklage go on a full rant?

[queenursula]

He did and the other little people actors are pissed at him for doing that because he has opportunities they don’t.

Ah that sucks

[escalena]

hmmmmm interesting because they do have a point tbh.

[ginainabottle]

His opinion on this being held as an absolute standard really highlights the lack of representation for little people in general. He wasn't the spokesperson bc he had a point, he was the spokesperson bc he's currently the only high profile actor who's a little person.

there's also Warwick Davis but IDK if he's made any comments

[ginainabottle]

I wouldn't say Warwick is high profile tho. He's got a good career but Peter is the one most people will think of outside the US/UK.

well, on the other hand he has an absolute right to his opinion and expressing it, and other have a right to disagree. im not mad at peter dinklage, everyone should be mad at disney.

Yeah, instead of presenting them in a respectful manner, Disney just erased them from the story.
