Let's hope for OP's sake that Peter Dinklage isn't hanging out in the Fediverse. You know why...

I don't think it's the reason here, but he's not very liked by other actors with dwarfism/short persons. He's basically worked hard for and succeeded in getting a monopoly in Hollywood for short person roles that is anything other than playing fantasy/sci-fi roles in full suits. I've seen interviews from several other actors with dwarfism who all strongly dislike him and this whole thing.

And please tell me if any words I used here are not ok, my understanding right now without having the time at this very moment to look up and learn all the generally accepted terminology for short people and if there's a better gender neutral word for actors/actresses, are the words I used. Last I checked, which was a few years ago, the words I chose were not bad, at least.

Actor is technically already gender neutral. Actress is kind of 20th century gibberish. Just fyi.

Which is why I used the word actor for the main comment and only used the word actress in the last part.

For sure. I was clarifying that you were correct in the usage of actor.

I eat teeth. Don't snoke then. That not what teeth for. Eat teth. That how the bite make itself to ve seeb the other way. Sideways, obviously.

Peter dinklage doesn't have a Twitter account. This is someone who just wants to keep using people with dwarfism as the butt of their jokes.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

"Incredible actor" you misspelled douchy ladder pulling robot whose acting is so bland and bad he literally couldn't even voice a robot and got replaced

Oh phew, I thought he was saying my mother was a hamster and my father smelled of elderberries which would have devastated me.

I can handle being called short though.

And your argument for that is?

He was so bad in Destiny 2 they replaced him with North for the main voice (Ghost). Fact. Members of the little people community lambasted him for ladder pulling with Snow White when he claimed to represent all little people and turned Disney away from hiring little people for the film. Fact. You can search for comments by the likes of Cara Reedy, Terra Jolé, and more.

For the more subjective parts of he's a bad actor, yeah that's subjective, but I'm also by no means the first and it's subjective so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Youre so aggressive with it though, why do you care so much? What a waste of energy.

Because I'm passionate about movies and tired of seeing shitty people praised. One could probably point out your defending him is also a waste of energy?

But I'm not being angry about it, just curious why you are. I probably wont reply again. Have a great day!

Can you name the thing(s) he did wrong with a why attached? That’s usually how you present subjective critique. Your preconceptions about a shared frame of reference with everyone else start fraying when you assume everyone sees the problem as clearly as you do, and I speak from practical experience.

Man I do feel he got the shit end of the stick with destiny though. He played what they wanted, an emotionless monotone sidekick. Turns out people didn’t want that.

I dunno, he sounded the exact same as he did in every single thing I've seen him in to me.

Yes, and sometimes that’s the role that needs to be played.

You realize that not everyone in real life is dramatic and life exuding yeah?
