Make jokes at the expense of the disabled, races, transgenders, gays or religious people, and you will be rightly criticized and shamed for it.
Make jokes at the expense of people who are ugly, fat or short in stature, somehow that’s still okay with way too many people…
To be fair, I think he is short enough to be considered disabled
But it’s ALWAYS okay to make fun of guitarists.
Not sure I’m down with the spirit behind this joke… Thought I left this kind of humor behind on Reddit. We can do better than this.
I think Dinklage would be more offended at people tiptoeing around his height like it’s a sensitive and embarrassing matter.
He knows he’s short, we know he’s short. He’s not insecure he jokes all the time. It would be offensive if the joke was making fun at his appearance / height. It was more focused on the shield.
The joke IS making fun of his height. The shield looks like a pick, but the joke is that that “pick” looks so big because he is tiny.
Obviously an exaggeration but the joke is indeed using his height.
It’s such a silly joke. It’s not “omg hahaha look at how short he is” it’s “omg hahaha that shield does look like a guitar pick now!” and then you imagine him 3cm tall and it’s just an absurd image
I’m a guitarist, a Game of Thrones fan, and a Dinklage fan, so I AM the audience for this joke, and I thought it was amusing on every level.
Same here, also: That MUST be the Pick of Destiny if there ever was one
Big if true
that caption Goes hard
