Not sure I’m down with the spirit behind this joke… Thought I left this kind of humor behind on Reddit. We can do better than this.
I think Dinklage would be more offended at people tiptoeing around his height like it’s a sensitive and embarrassing matter.
He knows he’s short, we know he’s short. He’s not insecure he jokes all the time. It would be offensive if the joke was making fun at his appearance / height. It was more focused on the shield.
The joke IS making fun of his height. The shield looks like a pick, but the joke is that that “pick” looks so big because he is tiny.
Obviously an exaggeration but the joke is indeed using his height.
It’s such a silly joke. It’s not “omg hahaha look at how short he is” it’s “omg hahaha that shield does look like a guitar pick now!” and then you imagine him 3cm tall and it’s just an absurd image
I mean in a way it is just reddit light. Not as bad obviously, but there are a lot of people who just want another reddit so bad. Even the subs stay the same to some degree. One of the most cringe parts of reddit was that a lot of the subreddits were called …porn because porn is le epic. And they just kept that because these subreddits became really big. And now you have a new start here and people just name these subs here foodporn too for example. Really puzzling to me, but hey.
What even is reddit humor, reddit humor to me is narwhals and whatever wholesome sht you think lemmy is about, dorky nerdy cringe sht, this is more twitter humor
What does that even mean, I say that ironically sometimes, but I think some ppl genuinely seem to think of reddit as some other culture, maybe it’s just the same ppl being extra polite because they got banned and are scared of it happening again rather than them actually thinking diffferently
