Comment on Is the m-word a slur for people with dwarfism? If so, what are more appropriate terms to use other than dwarf?

Yes. That’s literally the most offensive term you can use.

If it’s a fantasy world make up a fantasy term. You can either create a word from scratch or just create a more complex term.

For example, insert god name here-favored. Just because modern society considers it a disability with historical persecution doesn’t mean it has to be the case for your setting, or that or has to follow the same patterns.

Of course, you could also make the term everyone uses for her a slur in their world as well. Depends on what you’re going for.

I’d just avoid real world slurs, personally, at least in a fantasy.
