Why is it demeaning for midgets to play midgets in movies? It makes perfect sense for a midget to play a midget character yet we hear all the time about how midgets are persecuted with elf and dwarf roles. It's like they want to rise above the stereotype, but they are literally midgets. They can't expect us to take them seriously in a role as a tall person and not be like "umm that's a midget".
What are we suppose to believe a midget could play the role of a professional basketball player in movie and just ignore the fact it makes no sense?
>What are we suppose to believe a midget could play the role of a professional basketball player in movie and just ignore the fact it makes no sense?
why not? it's more believable than le strong 130lbs womyn beating up tons of huge guys and audiences are more than fine with that
Kevin Wright
I can pretend jesus christ himself imbued a woman with invisible hydraulic fists
I cannot pretend that a midget is tall
Alexander Brooks

I'm not.
Jordan Roberts
Your imagination is two inches deep.
Isaiah Smith
do we? do we really hear that all the time?
Jose Allen
>WE DON'T WANT TO ONLY PLAY DWARVES AND ELVES >WHY AREN'T YOU CASTING LITTLE PEOPLE TO PLAY THE SEVEN DWARFS?!
Josiah Carter
>we hear all the time about how midgets are persecuted with elf and dwarf roles No we don't. Literally everyone casts them as imps and goblins. How many midgets play serious AND non-midget characters? Are they 2? 3? In the whole industry?
Christian Smith
Deep enough to drown a midget.
Justin Adams
A woman can at least learn martial arts, a midget cannot learn to be taller.
From midgets, yes we do. Just because you turn a blind eye to midget issues doesn't make them any less real, you choose to not listen to their little outcries.
Brayden Hughes
They can play roles working normal jobs, their role doesn't always have to be a joke character.
Ironically, Peter Dinklage in X-Men DOFP played a scientist and his height had nothing to do with his role and was never mentioned, even though they could have easily made him a mutant to explain why he's small.
Josiah Jones
The better question is why do they get non-midgets to play midget roles?
>you are now aware of that movie where Gary Oldman played a midget alongside Matthew McConaughey
Luis Kelly
>They can play roles working normal jobs Yeah we'll just start seeing scenes with random midgets in the background.
Dinklage even in X-men was out of place and fucking weird.
Evan Evans
>you choose to not listen to their little outcries Not my fault they have such quiet, squeaky little voices.
Jonathan Sullivan
>why do they get non-midgets to play midget roles Because midgets are half retarded and would rather leave money on the table than be "discriminated" against.
Gavin Butler
>midget Why call us this derogatory term? Its dwarf
Ian Anderson
We should call them toy people.
Angel Cox
Doesnt seem to affect robert downey or tom cruise. Let the midgets have their soapbox to stand eye to eye for scenes. Stunt doubles and cgi can help them do their movies too.
Jackson Morales
Midget is the medically accepted name, there is nothing wrong with it. Just because you feel a certain way about it doesn't change its meaning. Like retard is also a medical term and it's okay to call someone who is a retard, a retard.
Angel Brooks
>Gary Oldman played a midget alongside Matthew McConaughey
absolute midgetkino
Robert Jackson
Yeah, the movie took place in the early/mid-70s. I don't doubt that a midget is capable of becoming the head of an advanced science firm, but I do doubt that in the 70s that a midget would have been able to get to that position. They'd be too busy playing oompa loompas or Jawas trying to afford rent to do so anyway.
Daniel James
LMAO xD RDJ is so short LOL
Robert Roberts
This. In the movies they easily said that midgets and gingers are muties.
Yet Sentinels did not go after them. But what I wonder is what happened in the 70's to make Apocalypse wake up?
Jordan White
Does this little fag do his horribly fake accent even while not acting now? Saw him on Conan and he was speaking like he's still in Westeros.
Jose Morris
Manlets and midgets are not the same.
Eli Moore
It's vertically impaired
Ian Thompson
Only good thing from GOT is the walk of shame.

Are you an english major or something?
Landon Scott
Manlets don't count. Their facial features and body proportions are different.
Nathaniel Phillips
t. manlet
David Perez
Dinklage looks like he's constantly pissed off and angry, as, he should be. There are a few pics of him with that deformed midget from Life's Too Short, and he looks embarrassed, like he's saying NO BUT I'M NOT LIKE THIS DWARF, I'M NORMAL!
Andrew Gray
>can't have a midget be midget >it's ok to hire blacks to fill some diversity quota If anything they should be pissed that cgi allows full size actors to take fun size parts.
Jeremiah Johnson
You can camera trick a manlet into looking tall. You can't camera trick a midget into having a normal face.
Jose Allen
Dinklage thinks he's better than being a midget. He can't come to terms with the fact he is a midget just like other midgets and that they are his people. He's not normal.
Angel Allen
>It's like they want to rise above the stereotype
Nicholas Cruz
Even if you told him, YOU ARE A MIDGET YOU ARE A FREAK he'd tell you to relax or something and pretend to be cool about it. It's other midgets that trigger him, because they are like a mirror that remind him that he's one of those. It's like when balding guys see another baldcuck
Colton Lee
Looks like Woody Harrelson.
Eli Baker
Personally I hope his 15 minutes of fame dries up after GoT ends, he's so smug and lame.
Christopher Campbell
this thread is confusing as fuck
why do you guys think you have any idea what goes on inside a midget's head?
Jose Peterson
Why do you think it's impossible to understand what is in a midget's head? Compared to normal people their thoughts are smaller.
Carter James
If Steve Buscemi can get a role as anything other than an insanely creepy looking dude then I think Peter Dinklage can get another role.
Dinklage doesn't want to play a basketball player, he just wants to be able to play a normal person in movies. There's no reason he couldn't be a love interest or the fat best friend (with some weight gain or a fat suit) in any romantic movie. He could also play a competent detective in a crime movie or something like that. Clues are usually on the ground anyway.
Who gives a shit?
Evan Barnes
Sexy women are willing to be with midgets if they have status and power. Sex might be a little awkward but it won't mean much since gold diggers always cheat on their partners anyway.
Shame and embarrassment and self-loathing. Not hard to imagine
Joshua Wright
>clues are usually on the ground rather than on high shelves? please This comment is exactly why he can't play anything but a midget. How can the camera avoid drawing attention to it? He would always, always be the midget something. An entire show where a midget played a person of average height but nobody mentioned it or even noticed it. I'm sure he'd love to be able to play a normie, but too bad. That's not how shit works.
Juan Richardson
Who said that he's playing a person of average height? He'd just be a dwarf doing things that people of average height do like have relationships, go to work, drink coffee, misplace their keys etc.
John Young
I believe the correct term is dwarf. At least that's what I've heard
Jordan Kelly
It's sort of hilarious how polluted this board is by amoral lunatic celebrity gossiping low IQ Sup Forums shitposters. Get a hobby you neckbeard fucking losers. Try eating yourselves to death.
Adam Phillips
>You can't camera trick a midget into having a normal face.
What the fuck you talking about? Movies change the appearance of actors all the time. Midgets don't look that fucked up that a bit of make-up can't make them normal.
Logan Gray
He is just upset at the unfairness, he has to play a midget while other midgets get to play superheroes.
Juan Lewis
>Have you ever had a dream with a dwarf in it? Do you know anyone who's had a dream with a dwarf in it? No! I don't even have dreams with dwarves in them. The only place I've seen dwarves in dreams is in stupid movies like this! "Oh make it weird, put a dwarf in it!". Everyone will go "Woah, this must be a fuckin' dream, there's a fuckin' dwarf in it!". Well I'm sick of it! You can take this dream sequence and stick it up your ass!
Jackson Stewart
I thought it's supposed to be "little person" but I've always thought that was silly. That's what you call kids, not fully-aged people who happen to be biologically child-size.
I propose we change the medical term for a child-sized adult to be "people nugget".
Jace Peterson

Gavin Stewart
I have watched porn with midgets in it though. Can be entertaining when in need of something different.
Lucas Sanchez
It's sort of hilarious how social justice workers have delusions of grandeur and imagine themselves to be intellectually above everyone who doesn't share their opinion.
Wyatt Fisher
Warwick Davis is based as fuck tho
Blake Thompson
What does social justice have to do with Sup Forums neckbeards being vain halfwits who talk about celebrities? The evidence for your absurd stupidity is in no way related to "opinions."
Nolan Edwards
Yes Warwick is quiet based.
>talk about celebrities
The thread is about MIDGETS, you illiterate retard. The evidence for your stupidity lies in the fact that you truly believe we are talking about celebrities instead of midgets and using celebrity midgets as examples.
Ian Diaz

The Station Agent wasn't written for a dwarf but Dinklage is great in it and the movie is great.
Blake Turner
Never heard of it, is it a Spike Lee Joint?
Jack Powell
I'm ok with midgets, I'm sick of seeing niggers pretending to be persons.
Grayson Gray
no its a pete dinkle joint
Jackson Davis
What the fuck are you talking about? Why Sup Forums? There's no politics being argued here, no MUH EVIL RACISM neither, so why the fuck are you talking about Sup Forums?
Justin King
>"umm that's a midget".
that cracked me up. Seriously though, if a movie had a scene where a car breaks down and a tow truck driver comes and its a midget, youve gotta address that. Otherwise its awkward. Midgets just got the short end of the stick in life. It happens. Could you imagine being a gay half black/half Jew midget with aids and cancer. That right there would win all the Oscars and will be played by Tom Hanks in the boipic of the gay black/jew midget from Mississippi with aids and cancer.
They can play plenty of role that dont depend on their height.
He had a good role in that xmen movie. His height was never talked about.
Gabriel Perez
who says they do?
From my experience midgets and dwarfs are usually very chill with the stereotypes because they realize that exploiting those is pretty much their only way to make money.
Plus its pretty much a tradition by now, throughout history their only choices were usually to become beggars or join the circus.
Jordan Moore
>His height was never talked about. That's kind of the thing, it was never talked about, we were expected as an audience to just pretend like we weren't watching midget gallivanting around on screen when, clearly, there was a midget in a little suit and tie gallivanting on screen.
Oliver Sanchez
Midgets faces look different, stop bullshitting. Midgets faces literally look like other midgets faces.
>these people don't love midgets >Sup Forums Sup Forums it must be Sup Forums only Sup Forums doesn't share my opinions!!!
You're a sadcunt.
Jace Powell
Not that user but shut the fuck up dumb Sup Forumsack. Sup Forums is now the designated board to pick on because you fucks never shut the fuck up about politics on other boards.
Xavier Stewart
He's way taller than verne troyer. Troyer is fucking deformed and he looks like a baby fucking a woman. Weird shit.
>What are we suppose to believe a midget could play the role of a professional basketball player in movie and just ignore the fact it makes no sense?
we should make a low budget movie about this
Doubles get to name it
Connor Turner
I believe this post is more intelligent than OP intended
Dominic Cox
>Dinklage even in X-men was out of place and fucking weird.
the best part was when they showed the painting in his office, looks fucking retarded and accentuates the fact that he is a fucking midget with huge issues regarding his height.
Nathan Perry
what are you talking about? it worked for kit harington.
Brandon Sanchez
They could have saved a lot of money on those new planet of the apes movies if they'd just used peter dinklage in a chimp costume for every ape part instead of all that cgi. Just saying.
Ryan Flores
Why can't they have dignified and three dimensional roles, rather than comic relief or some other humiliating shit? It's not about pretending they're not midgets, but they're still people.
Sebastian King
Because they are comic relief and humiliation incarnate?
It's absurd pretending they're real people.
Asher Jackson
Why do people argue against incestuous marriage because "the kids could turn out deformed" but then never say a word when two midgets get married even though there's a much higher chance of the kids being deformed there? Both situations involve two consenting adults, so why is potential offspring birth defects only an issue with incestuous couples but fine when nasty little midgets do it?
Michael Gutierrez
Why do midgets always have larger heads? Is that where their height went?
Lincoln Lewis
Me on the right.
Aiden King
Wtf how small isjon
Cameron Gonzalez

Anthony Price

William Cooper
A fat midget? Death by heart problems at age 13.
Connor Lee
His lifts have lifts.
Wyatt Cook
why aren't midgets just kept in zoos?
Henry Jackson

It's not. Are you some kind of overcompensating manlet? Holy shit.
