A word. The issue of Playboy journalist Eric Spitznagel is dangerously close skinned border, but “Game of Thrones” superstar Peter Dinklage is used like that now.
– DwILF, as in “Dwarf I’d Like to Fuck “? Very clever. I take it with a grain of salt. It’s nice that people think outside the box, but I do not think about it for a minute.
Whatever Dinklage may think about their options on the market check: At any at all ask such a question testify to a shift in the television world.
While he has gained a reputation as by far the most popular character in the HBO success “Game of Thrones” (which is almost ready with its fourth season) leaves the proportion of short stature, transgender and disabled characters to be on the rise elsewhere as well.
Surprisingly enough, there is the Mickey Mouse Club digg the United States, the country with the most beauty queen concepts that major TV series producers have increasingly given space to groups that have not previously been particularly strong presence on television, without either shitting them out, prepare them as victims or heroes cute.
Is it politically correct and equal television series on the rise?
Transgender Assassin
Take the opening to the now canceled “Hit & Miss”. Having fired of a few fatal shooting of a man on the roof of a parking garage running Chloe Sevigny home, exposes his naked body, cock and balls, and taking a shower.
She plays an assassin who has previously been male, but now women, yet with the equipment intact.
She learns that she has a son from his past as a man, obviously , and go to seek the family of her now dead ex-girlfriend.
series (available on HBO Nordic in Norway) does not hold anything back, and for those of us who know Sevigny role choices, she is not just shy. Sevigny also prefer characters with atypical and quirky traits or personality disorders and adds “Hit & Miss” an interesting character.
Politically correct ‘Sons of Anarchy’
Chloe is not the only one.
You may have thought was the most hormonbesprengte Confederate television series of all of them, “Sons of Anarchy” has made unexpected twists and ended up portraying the most politically correct motorcycle club that exists ( with the exception of “Protector of the children” in the Jackass movie “Bad Grandpa”).
When Walton Goggins would a guest role, said comics Kurt Sutter that the audience would asossiere Goggins too much with his former “The Shield” character, Detective Shane Vendell.
Goggins would prove to Sutter that he could play another role that few would recognize him in.
– I said to him just like I do if I can be a transgender person. I would have preferred to play a transgender. Let’s create a transgender, has Goggins explained to Entertainment Weekly.
Thus he himself augmentation and morpet to the transgender Venus Van Dam in a small clip in season five .
Venus made much ado about that character and it was therefore a great pleasure to have a stronger return to Forks Venus now in the sixth season.
At no time were “Sons of Anarchy” an unexpected voice for the transgender.
Alyssa Rosenberg at Think Progress points out:
– There was an episode in TV history as portrayed hypermasculine motorcyclists social and sexually comfortable with a transsexual woman, without treating her as a freak or as an exotic creature.
Tig and love
Venus ‘horrific history that we are familiar with the sixth season and motorcycle guys’ reaction to this, turned upside down in the conventions of “pulp” genre, the one who adores hyper masculinity.
More cream on the cake would be when Tig, the most hypermasculine of bikers, falls in love with Venus.
– If Venus Van Dam can help a young man or woman to feel better about himself, because they see their story be dramatically reflected, as I feel that we have done our job, Goggins has even stated in an interview with TV Guide.
Transgender actress
“Orange is the New Black,” however, the series for the first time to do a real transgender person known worldwide, namely Laverne Cox in the role of Sophia Bursa, some creators have gotten much pat on the shoulder.
– Her story highlights issues that greatly affects the transsexual. But ultimately, Sophia is a strong character because she illustrates the effects of incarceration on the family as an institution, wrote AVClub about Cox’s character.
Cox is the first African-American trance as has been produced and star in their own TV prgram, “Transform Me.” But the road to the spotlight has not been so easy for transgender Cox for her co-stars:
– Our rate of unemployment is twice the national average. If you are a stained trans person, the frequency quadruple the national average. Kill rate is highest against transgender women. If we should just focus on talking about the transformation of our bodies, we never actually talked about these things, said Cox in an interview on U.S. television in January, where the questions began to revolve around the rather intimate bodily factors than discrimination transgender.
Washington Post reported earlier this year that Cox has plans to write a book about his life as a transsexual.
Peter Dinklage best paid
But it is not only transsexuals who have had a TV breakthrough. As mentioned, “Game of Thrones” one of the first TV series with a diminutive protagonist.
Peter Dinklage is the show’s faces outward and is praised for its good role interpretation of the sharp-Tyrion Lannister.
– And it is Dinklage receiving Golden Globe, Dinklage who steals the show, Dinklage who breaks ranks of stereotypical dwarf roles and actually gets credited for being an accomplished actor. Already in the second season is Peter Dinklage the highest paid actor in the series, and has quickly worked his way up on your list of favorite actors, writes Planet Ivy.
Mann was harassed
Dinklage is one of a few short stature that has come a long way as an actor without playing the comedy. He also dedicated his Golden Globe in 2012 for Martin Henderson, one diminutive man who was harassed at the pub.
– This is totally ridiculous. Dwarves are still the butt of all jokes. It is one of the last bastions of accepted prejudice. Not only by people who have had too much to drink and will throw a person, but also the media, you name it, Dinklage has spoken to New York Times.
In 1995, Dinklage received warm criticism his role in “Living in Oblivion”, where he played an actor who is upset about the limited and not least caricatured roles being offered short stature actors.
Dinklage has stepped up to prevent short stature may have more serious roles and starring in several film versions in 2014, including “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (in which he has an awesome mustache), “Knights of Badassdom” and “The angriest Man in Brooklyn” with Mila Kunis and Robin Williams.
Star with Down
Also, the Emmy-nominated horror series “American Horror Story” is pretty radical in their choice of characters. Here Jamie Brewer, who has Down syndrome, an important role.
Creators of the series, Brad Falchuck and Ryan Murphy, has sought to challenge the established conventions of straights TV series before, the more the happy and cramp-like gospel series “Glee,” where Lauren Potter also has Downs Syndrome, as well as in an episode of “Nip / Tuck”.
– And when Ryan Murphy delivers another of his now-trademark, a magical character with Down syndrome that is understated but delivers great wisdom, what else can you do but shrug, wrote Daniel FIENBERG in Hitfix.
TV critics have apparently learned to see her illness that little startling. The tone, however, was a very different since the first season of seren came:
– It’s rare that I get angry over poor TV, usually only disappoint me but a scene in the second episode of Lange’s daughter (played by Jamie Brewer) got my blood to boil until it was tone deaf, was HitFix’s TV reviewer Alan Sepinwalls initiative after watching the first episode.
There were differing opinions on whether the Brewers role in the first season was a degrading representation of Down syndrome.
– The important thing is to hear the case. You can really step in and say “hey, this is me, I have a great talent” and I want to be able to see that, Brewer even spoken to ABC News.
– Never thought about it
This is not the only disability that has been portrayed in a famous TV series.
Heavyweight “Breaking Bad,” the Emmy-2013s favorite, the son of Walter White, Walter jr. (RJ Mitte) cerebral palsy.
Series creator Vince Gilligan character based loosely on a friend from college who had a less mild form of CP.
– The took a while with conviction, when Vince first thought I was fully healthy, says Mitte to the Daily Mail about why he went back to using crutches in the series, as he did before.
– To play Walt Jr.. has opened my eyes to what I’ve managed to get. Until I got the part, I never thought that what I went through was something strangely adds to Mitte.
While “Breaking Bad” ended last year, both “Game of Thrones” and “Orange Is The New Black ‘ready with new seasons in 2014.
land is however considerably quieter.
We hope Norwegian television drama soon take some steps and not just stock “No limits” or “Tangerudbakken” to compensate for low media coverage of minorities.
