Do the woke actually enjoy being this pitiful??
I think you may find what they are enjoying is getting a rise out of some people over the colour of a ""fictional"" character.
You need to bite for it to be an issue far as I can see.

The only ones who have a problem with it are the ones who actually care about skin color: Racists.

It's going to be great.
To watch the reviews.
Dwarfs who are not dwarfs
They are of different genders, some probably non binary and some other could be trans.
I think the reviews will be great.
Why do they have to be dwarfs?
There is zero reason in the story that they need to be dwarfs.
because its part of the mythology of the writer, in the same way if it the writer was from here the predominate figures would have been the pharisees (singular phari/fairy) another region it might be a dobby as we saw in harry potter..
erasing them would be like erasing folk figures from other cultures which you should only do if you're happy to rewrite the folk tales of all cultures to suit your tastes.. but then some might consider it tasteless.
Bull crap
The story does not require dwarfs.

It's really hard to take these complaints seriously when this below is portrayed as Jesus in movies.
So you're against Snow Woke and the 7 baristas?

These parables were written when women were owned. When they had no rights.

No and unless you're a hypocrite and just racist, you shouldn't either, unless you've been rather "woke" previously to complain about blonde Jesus. If so, I've missed you complaining about it.
That is what I was pointing out. Why have there not been 30 threads about "woke" Jesus being white and historically inaccurate?

Strange how there's never been the same outrage whenever Jesus Christ has been portrayed in a film by a white European ....

I really don't see why the colour of the character should matter in this day of age.

Where was you sister raised?
I was raised near the beaches of Los Angeles. My mom made sure I was open minded and not indoctrinated with restrictive ideologies and behaviors — like she was growing up.
I was raised to be progressive. To move forward. To let go of antiquated thinking.
Then why the push to change them at all? Leave them be, write and produce new books, movies, etc. Put out all the new ideas for characters. Make money if its a good product.
But nope, cant do that. Let's change everything around and watch them tank at the box office, over and over.
