It's a representation thing, Jaric.

There are people who are seriously underrepresented in entertainment media, and they enjoy seeing people like them getting a spotlight in entertainment, since it's such a rare sight, and they'd like more of it, whether they're left-handed, LGBT, a person of color, a little person, a disabled person, whatever.

It's an even bigger deal in live action productions because certain kinds of people, especially people of color, have a harder time getting hired for roles than the usuals we see in entertainment, and that's just not fair. And when they do get hired, they tend to have a much smaller range of what kind of role they have a good chance of getting hired for, while white able-bodied people without dwarfism have a really wide variety of roles they can get.

Representation is a really nice thing to see for people of all ages, especially in entertainment they enjoy, so it's kind of upsetting when it gets taken away.
