The woke mob’s assault on Snow White and her seven dwarfs is far worse than anything Prince Charming did to her
“Snow White” used to be a lovely, heart-warming film.
Who could fail to be inspired by the story of a beautiful princess rescued from the clutches of a wicked stepmother queen by seven kindly dwarfs, and a life-saving kiss from a handsome prince?
But that was before the joyless woke censorship police got involved to declare it “problematic.”
What part of it was a problem?
Try all of it!
First, she was called Snow White because her skin was very white, so obviously, that was branded racist.
Second, the handsome prince didn’t get her consent before delivering the magical kiss — so in the wake of the #MeToo campaign, he was condemned as a sexual predator.
Kazue Muta, a Japanese sociology professor and supposed “expert on workplace sexual harassment,” accused Snow White of promoting “quasi-compulsive obscene sexual acts on an unconscious partner,” and added: “You might think I’m ruining the fantasy of it all, but these stories are promoting sexual violence, and I would like everyone to be aware of it.”
How thoughtful.
But in fact, all I need to be aware of is that when Prince Charming kissed Snow White, he literally SAVED HER BLOODY LIFE, and they went on to live happily ever after.
Now, with chilling inevitability, the miserable cancel-culture cops have come for Snow White’s dwarfs.
Yes, apparently those lovable, hard-working, kind little guys Doc, Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful and Sneezy are deeply offensive.
Not just because they’re all male, so that’s obviously disgustingly sexist and unacceptable, but more pertinently, because the characters are apparently demeaning to real-life dwarfs.
This claim was first made by the world’s most famous and successful dwarf actor, Peter Dinklage, who last year accused Disney of being responsible for “renewing damaging stereotypes” when it announced plans to remake the 1937 movie, saying, “You’re still making that f–king backward story of seven dwarves living in the cave … what the f–k are you doing, man?”
Disney, who’ve cast a Hispanic woman, Rachel Zegler, as Snow White to avoid the absurd bogus racism charges, bowed to pressure again, issuing a statement in response to Dinklage that said: “To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.”
It turns out this meant abject capitulation to the whim of one man.
Leaked photos from the set last week showed that six of the seven male cartoon dwarfs have been replaced by human “magical creatures” of “all sizes, colors, and genders.”
Or rather, there are now six non-dwarfs, and one solitary dwarf.
As an instant firestorm of mockery blew up over the leaked images, panicky Disney shamefully lied, and said the photos, published by the Daily Mail, were fake.
Now it’s admitted they’re real, just not “official.”
Whatever.
The truth is that Disney’s once again surrendered to the woke mob and made themselves look weak and ridiculous in the process.
As so often with such politically correct nonsense, many of the supposed ‘victims’ that Disney thinks it’s trying to protect from being exposed to harmful appropriation are furious.
Not least, other dwarf actors who’ve now missed out on plum jobs in a big Hollywood movie.
Professional wrestler Dylan Postl, better known by his ring persona Hornswoggle, accused Dinklage of being ‘hypocritical’ and ‘selfish.’
He raged: ‘By being progressive in his mind, he is really doing the opposite and taking dreams away and potential roles from seven dwarf actors – I think it’s a shame. It doesn’t make any sense to me that we are taking one person’s voice for the whole community.’
Postl also pointed out that Dinklage has made millions from playing dwarf roles in blockbusters like Game of Thrones and Elf.
‘Those cheques cashed just fine,’ he said. ‘He knew what he was getting himself in for there.’
Of course, he did.
But he doesn’t seem to want the same opportunity for other dwarf actors, and it’s appalling that Disney have let him bully them into submission like this.
I don’t even understand the suggestion that Snow White’s dwarf characters are somehow humiliating.
As another dwarf entertainer, comedian Brad Williams, said: ‘They have jobs, you know? They got good friends. They got a house. They like to protect her [Snow White]. They’re diamond miners, so they’re rich. They’re self-made, wealthy.’
Exactly, so why all the faux offence?
Rachel Zegler told Vanity Fair: ‘People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is, because it needed that. It’s an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’
Has she not met Meghan Markle?
More seriously, why on earth would anyone be proud of making a ‘PC Snow White’?
There’s nothing, I repeat NOTHING, wrong with the first movie.
It was a terrifically enjoyable fairy-tale that showed good triumphing over evil.
But woke people don’t like escapist fun, in fact they don’t like fun at all.
These dreary twerps prefer to scour every second of old films, just as they do old books or songs, desperately hunting spurious new reasons to pretend to be outraged.
The result, as one Twitter user scoffed, is Snow White and the Seven Diversity Hires.
And six actor dwarfs have now been deprived of lucrative career-enhancing work by virtue-signalling wokies trying to ‘help’ them.
Great job, you liberal loons!
