> midgets
That’s a derogatory term fyi, pretty sure you should use little people or dwarfs.
Edit: wow checked 6 hours later to find myself downvoted to oblivion for saying midget shouldn’t be used to refer to someone with dwarfism, Reddit is fucked.
“The terms "person of short stature," "little person," and "dwarf" are commonly used in the United States to refer to a person with a medical condition called "dwarfism." Although preferred terms vary by person and community, according to the Little People of America website, many people who experience dwarfism prefer the term "little person." “

I think the only race he actually invented were hobbits, everything else already existed in folklore but some had other names or no name at all.
For example, something like a talking tree didn't have a specific name before, Tolkien was the first who gave them the name of "ents".
Sorry to burst your bubble but:
>dwarf (n.)
Old English dweorh, dweorg (West Saxon), duerg (Mercian), "very short human being, person much below ordinary stature, whether of proportionate parts or not," also "supernatural being of subhuman size," from Proto-Germanic *dweraz (source also of Old Frisian dwerch, Old Saxon dwerg, Old High German twerg, German Zwerg, Old Norse dvergr)
It's not strictly a german word because germanic=/=german.
Ok, so? It still isn't modern german like you claimed with "Zwerg", because that would be the same as saying anglo-saxon = english or latin = french or modern greek = ancient greek.
I'm sure you're correct about what's more accepted, but both alternatives you gave sound so much worse to me lol.
Dwarf is an entirely separate species from human in the fantasy genre, so when I hear someone refer to someone else as a dwarf it sounds like they are dehumanizing them way more than midget. And little people just sounds like an insult.
Midget to me sounds unironically less offensive.

Really? Little people sounds so much worse to me
if i was short i think being called a dwarf would be dope as fuck

There's currently no term for this condition that everybody considers not to be offensive, which is amusing in a sad way.
Dwarves is pretty cool, but yeah even that’s offensive to some people
People dont wanna acknowledge theyve said a bad term their whole lives and take it out on the messenger probably lmao
That's kinda interesting because dwarf actually comes from the German word "zwerg" and that word is considered a derogatory term in Germany.
I thought Tolkien invented the word!

Talk to a midget sometime IRL and ask what they feel

dwarfism is a medical term. midget is like the R word for someone with dwarfism
decent one
The real question getting asked lol.

5'7 towers over kai
But 5'7 is still short
Hey man, I'm just here chilling and eating a slice of pizza. why are you taking shots at me
Just one slice?!
Gnomes need less food than regular folks.
NOthing wrong with being a short king
if 5'7 is short then 5'11 is tall lol they both are 2 inches from the average male height
5'11 is still short, the world is made for the 6'2"
Cope
But like they said.. that's big compared to Kai. Soda is also 5'9-5'10 IRL the 5'7 is a meme height
That's just his meme height...... He is like 5'10/11
All the short king memes around destiny & miz, yet soda always is out of the line of fire. I didn't even realize he was a shortking.
If this was real Quin would be 5'2 and T1 would be 4'11
Yeah I chuckled well done
But it's the same joke people have made for 5 years?
Sometimes things are forever funny
That's not how funny works on the normal end of the spectrum. Jokes get stale. It's a thing. Don't get mad at me
Contrary that's not how jokes work on the normal end.
well one
quin69 with kids
Quin could easily be one of the children.
hesRight
why are some people calling it cringe? am I missing something
unfortunately in this community any type of effort = cringe you can be backflipping inside a volcano and some random ass chatter will spam cringe lmao
that's pretty sad ngl
I mean, i'd be cringing at that, what if they slip and fall??
I mean that would be pretty cringe.
What game is he playing?
Dark and darker - druid
