english is so weird to me cause i never know whether "midget" and "cripple" are insults/slurs or not. people on the internet and tv show characters seem to use them pretty casually

I hate that that's offensive, while the acceptable term is dwarf. Really think that should be reversed. Also, "Little person/people" just sounds extremely kondescending.

Are you a dwarf? If not, your opinion is irrelevant

Get over it.

I think policing the preferred terminology of a group you dont belong to is far more condescending

I always felt this way too. Especially since it wasn't super rare to call children little people.

Who said he was policing it. Way to be dramatic about an honest opinion. Im sure if he was around a person with the condition, he would respectfully refer to them as whatever they preferred.

In fact, where are the opinions from the actual community on this? All I ever hear is opinions from outsiders

The fact that the poll options aren't mini me, tyrion lannister, professor flitwick, etc, is a big failure on TCs part

These so much. Went the majority of my life without knowing it was offensive until someone who wasn't one informed me. Never actually heard one's opinion on the matter and would love to.

But either way, I think the entire koncept of slurs is stupid. Unlike "repulsive" or "stupid" majority of them are made up words with no meaning besides "I want to offend you". Hell, a lot of them are shortenings of things people actually are, like Japanese or Pakistani. The real problems lie more in the people behind them, not the words themselves.

Made up words with no meaning is not a thing. Theyre words, they have connotative if not denotative meaning.

Not an utterance that carries any semantic meaning; not a word.

Good enough for me. I mean Little People is literally the name they choose to represent the organization. Still will feel weird to say, but I'll get over it.
