The Mountain with normal people Vs with his Father and Grandfather

He doesn't look so big, to me.

I have that same grin whenever I'm around guys taller than me. It's such a weird feeling. Like when you lay face down in the grass and imagine you're an ant.

Dang, that Mountain's grandfather is one dapper scoundrel. He should be in the Riviera, convincing oil heiresses that he is a prince or something.

He looks like a less bald Lukaschenko.

Indeed, but I prefer villains in good suits, who only scam people like them. 🀺

I want to see them sitting in that couch. πŸ˜‚

What's the height of the actress? Is she "normal" size? I don't know her name so I can't look her up.

Her name is Lena Headey, she played Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. According to some random sites on the internet, she is around 5'5'', which is equivalent to 165cm

Lena Headey (1.66cm)

I don't believe you that she is only half an inch tall. I have never seen a person that short.

The mountain's wife is tiny. Not a dwarf, but just small.

You think "dwarf" is offensive? What about the Dwarves from LOTR? Or the Dwarves from WoW? Or the Dwarves from OnePiece? Or the Dwarves from Norse Mythology who made Thor's hammer? Dwarves are awesome, "little people" sounds like an even worse insult than the M-word.

Try saying "little person" with the tone of voice you'd talk to a kitten meowing at you. And then say "Dwarf" like a Nordic guy.

Did.... did you just speedrun a comment/callout/rebuttal all by yourself, in the body of a single comment?

Impressively efficient, if a bit strange.

Honestly the comparisons you made are the point. They're just people who are short, not a magical mythical race of non humans lmfao. THATS where the whole "little person" thing comes from.

The condition is called "dwarfism" in medical textbooks.

Sure, but there are loads of medical conditions with less than ideal names (a particularly severe structure is caused by a gene literally named Sonic the hedgehog). The clinical name might be important in a clinical setting but that's not where most of us interreact with people. I'm just going with what I've known people to prefer.

Yes but there are also folk that actually like the term. I guess default to little person unless told otherwise?

That's been a great rule that hasn't failed me for nearly anything.

I'm trying to see where someone said they were offended here

Those would be mythological dwarves, not human dwarves.

To whoever's downvoting me, were you under the impression some human blacksmith brothers crafted Odin's spear and Mjolnir?
