Like any physical abnormality, it takes some getting used to.

After a while you just stop noticing. You go from "Oh, there's that bizarrely short person," to just, "Oh, there's James."

Well I tend to think of short, muscular person with a big ass beard. Damn I love dwarfs, favorite race to play as. You did mean the fictional kind right?

Meh I think they are just like normal people.

I even get kind of jealous sometimes as I am tall for a girl and I am shy so being small would be nicer lol.

What's a dwarf? I'd rate a guy less than 1,60 metres tall as a dwarf already.

What's there to say? They're people just like, well, people. Although I do think they have some sort of tendency to get defensive or agressive quicker than others. Maybe it's some kind of compensation mechanism.
If I'm not mistaken, you missed by 10 centimeters.

From what I've heard, a person is considered a dwarf if his height is under 1.50 m.

Beyond being bastards in their father's eyes? I have no real view of them. Their just people. Short people, but people. Except for when they're not.

I'm generally good after I've gotten to know them.

That sort of applies to everybody though. I treat them as I would anybody else.

P.S. I originally thought this was about the race in games (with the mining and the beards etc.) DERP!

Dwarfs? Man, I view everyone less than 6' as being subhuman.
Then the apocalypse came and we all laughed as your higher food requirements lead you to die in agony while the rest of us waited in our tiny holes to devour your oversized corpse.

Subhuman depends on your point of view.

I feel that the creation of Tyrion Lannister was a win for Dwarves everywhere. Seriously, he should do an "it's fine, don't take people's bullshit" PSA.

In all honesty, other than the initial thought of "awesome..." I don't think of them any differently. However I did see this dwarf in like... a grey T-shirt and slacks with a skinhead and tattoos. Had this massive scar on his face. That was pretty terrifying, that guy would fuck your shit up if you went all condescending "little people" to him.

From The old Pastament, The Book of Midgets/Midgits


1In the days when the Flying Spaghetti Monster combed the Bobby Mountain,
2He looked upon the Earth and saw that the land was devoid of chosen subjects.
3In His awesome Noodly Hugeness, the FSM cast his Noodly Appendage forth over the Bobby Mountain and said with a noodly growl, 4″Send forth my beloved subjects!
5Be they small and capable of head butting tall people in the groin.
6Let them be capable of acting as mobile beer holders. 7Let them be cute and cuddly, 8and let them be capable of riding many a good winner at the races?. ?

9And into the world the Midgets did come.
10For they were indeed extremely cute and cuddly. 11The bald midgets were sometimes confused by the FSM with sticks of roll on deodorant. 12This amused the FSM greatly, 13who named the bald midgets ?The Rexona? or ? The Rexonii? (plural).
14But extremely cute and cuddly they were.


-

The Midgets are his chosen people, the blessed ones, touched the most by his noodley appendages.

How do I view them? I look down! (trololol)

OK but seriously it depends what you mean, as people? Well, as people. In a romantic way though it's something I find unattractive (plus, you know, health issues and so on).

They're people like I'm a person and everyone else is a person and I don't balk at seeing them in the street or think it's weird or anything. Yeah, they're just people.

Don't view them as anything, the last thing they want is to be pointed out for being different.

I thought this was about fantasy, in which case i see them as silly drunks with long dirty beards and even dirties jokes. As for real life.. I never met one, but if i did i would treat them as any other person, maybe i would stare at them a second or two longer than usual.
