After Valve says no, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic devs unite to get "very serious" about their very silly demand for a dwarf tag on Steam, and they want your help (www.gamesradar.com)

Let's recap:

  1. This is a story about Valve not putting a "dwarf" tag on their Steam platform
  2. Your first post I replied to said there would be "able-ist connotations" to putting a dwarf tag on Steam
  3. I want to know what "able-ist connotations" there are to a tag on a video game platform for the word "dwarf"
  4. You replied with a video showing little people being exploited, with the comment "This kind of shit"

If your own video and comment and the entire context of this thread aren't relevant to your point, that isn't strawmanning on my part; that's you not knowing how to make a reasoned argument.

What ableist connotations are there between "dwarf" and "entertainment media"

Video of people being exploited for entertainment because they are the stereotypical "dwarf"

dont see the relation bro, it must be because you just hate fantasy in general and want to kill everything fun
