Honestly, this is a milder way to accept reality than say midget tossing.
What ever term anyone prefers for little folks, they know they're small. They cant do anything about it, so having a sense of humor about it would be the best way to go through life.
Film/theater, have people forgotten, a story is put on display. It's the epitome of spectacle. Its self destructive to produce a spectacle that deliberately does not meet audiences expectations.
To make a spectacle in a form of theater/film, you absolutely NEED 3 things. Performers, audience, a stage to present it.
You miss 1 of those and you got nothing to see. Rachel, the performer, honestly, did her part. Disney is the stage and they decided to remove the dwarf performers, resulting in losing the audience.
A complete fuck up.
