George "Rejected Runt" Martin, who is 5'6" (168 cm) tall, writes fiction from the perspective of an envious midget who wants to see the tall fall.

Lord Tyrion Lannister is the youngest child of Lord Tywin Lannister and younger brother of Cersei and Jaime Lannister. A dwarf, he uses his wit and intellect to overcome the prejudice he faces.

Peter Dinklage, born June 11, 1969, Morristown, New Jersey, U.S, American actor who was perhaps best known for his role as Tyrion Lannister, a humane and clever dwarf with a penchant for debauchery, on the HBO television show Game of Thrones (2011–19)

For anyone unfamiliar with the term, a self-insert character is typically defined as the fictional version of yourself that lives out your dreams and fantasies in a novel, short story, or most commonly, fanfiction.

Samwell Tarly is another example: a fat cowardly virgin scholar who rises to the top through the power of plot armor and being a niceguy™.

Varys the fat eunuch is a third. Chinese imperial eunuchs were notoriously petty and self-centered, yet Varys is a rare selfless patriot, despite lacking any children to motivate his concern for posterity. Patriotic self-sacrifice is a masculine trait for the same reason that drunk driving is a masculine trait: testosterone. Something GRR Martin obviously lacks.

Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. JRR Tolkein, a 5'9" Nicolas Cage lookalike, wrote to express the Good, the Beautiful and the True. Tolkein could've written enough orc rape scenes to make Martin envious (and horny). But Tolkein didn't, because rape disgusted him. Tolkein married his childhood true love, who chose him over money, family and religion.

Behold the inspiration for Tinuviel:

Searching photos of GRR Martin's romantic partners yields no comparable inspirations.

GRR Martin's first wife wouldn't follow him to Sante Fe, much less wait through years of no contact and WW1. GRR Martin wrote a dying world poisoned by his sexual perversion and status frustration. Martin's plot tears down all that is noble and fair, ruining the world until at last damaged and desperate beautiful women are within his self-inserts' feeble reach. The constant sexual assault is a symptom of his buried bitterness towards women and the tall men they chose over him. The world must learn to stop overlooking the dwarf!

Martin's fiction thus belongs to the subversive category, and cannot outlive the temporary cultural milieu which it deconstructed, as so many other popular works are overlooked by future generations, to whom his nihilism will be no novelty. He will forever fail to measure up.

If you are not short, you may be unaware that height is such a big deal. Google relevant keywords such as "OKCupid height" and "heightcel" for details.

To forestall the inevitable: I am 5'11", and my wife fits under my chin. Tiptoe kisses are cute.
