Why are little people always portrayed as some sort of mythical creature in pretty much every fictional movie and show they are cast in? Think about it:They are always shown to be dwarves (the fantasy kind not the real kind), elves (both the Lord of the Rings kind and the Santa kind), goblins (or hobgoblins), munchkins, Oompah-Loompahs, gremlins, leprechauns, etc. never are they actually cast as human beings in fantasy shows and movies. Game of Thrones and the obscure '70s TV show Fantasy Island are the only two I can think of where the little person is actually meant to be human. I'm surprised more people don't find that to be somewhat off putting, I personally see it as very demeaning. I mean, come on! Just because someone is short doesn't mean they are some sort of MONSTER for Heaven's sakes!
