Short story
Peter Dinklage is outraged over Disney's live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Not for the brown-washing of the main titular character, but for the portrayal of the other seven.
Dinklage continued, “You’re progressive in one way but then you’re still making that fucking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together…”

Ahhh…but no, Peter, they lived in a house, and worked in a mine. For they were miners, mining, in a mine. Not living in a cave, you ignorant cock. And what's progressive about race-swapping traditionally white characters anyway? It's not progressive, it's lazily retarded tokenism.
Finally, just as the sun was about to set, she came to a little house. The house belonged to seven dwarfs. They were working in a mine, and not at home.

Disney got that right, way back in 1937. But the Hollyweirdos have to have an opinion on everything; even if it just means blowing it outta their butts. (SMH)
So, now that Disney's made Snow White brown, how should the dwarves be depicted in order to appease the righteously indignant progressives? None below 5'10"? I thought that the whole point of representation is because the snowflakes on Twitter cannot enjoy anything, unless they see themselves in it. (confused)
…he remains baffled over just re-telling the traditional “Snow White” story in live-action form.

Well, as with all of the current slew of Disney remakes, Peter, the explanation can be summed up as follows: streaming content and money, coupled with creative bankruptcy and mo' rep
. I'm sure you'd be a shoo-in if you're up for it.
You're welcome.
Technically, the dwarves in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs aren't humans with dwarfism. In folklore, they're a separate race of peoples. But let's not let a little cultural detail get in the way of a good old-fashioned Hollywoke frothing.
Someone at Disney soiled themsleves, and rushed to the virtue signal.
To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.
Ryan Parker, The Hollywood Reporter
At least it's not just Dinklage who's gloriously ignorant of dwarves in folklore and fantasy. Once again: the dwarves in the Grimms' story are not, I repeat not, humans with dwarfism. They're a different race, skilled in mining. So…stereotypes? (confused)
Disney should educate themselves, not that that's likely to happen. If they cannot do it responsibly, then they should stop meddling with cultural icons that are beyond their feeble understanding. But I suppose it's expecting too much for them to stick to characters that they created, and can thus bastardise freely: Mickey Mouse and friends.
Honestly, our cultural landscape is being moulded by intellectual dwarves. (SMH)
