What kind of bad habits did medieval European courts have to raise people as "dolls"?

These people are dwarfs, and European nobles keep them as dolls to play with. In ancient Europe, circuses were very popular, and dwarf performances were also very popular. Those little people are wearing beautiful clothes and doing all kinds of funny actions, which makes people laugh. The nobles discovered this brand-new toy, and they began to raise these dwarfs, dressed them up as they liked, and asked them to do some lovely actions and stand beside them to set off their height. I have to say, the dwarf is really a perfect toy. It not only has a delicate and lovely body, can dress up at will, but also is smarter than cats and dogs and speaks more beautifully.

At that time, the nobles raised dwarfs, dressed them up, and sometimes held parties to show off their dwarfs. At this time, the dwarfs were really toys, dressed beautifully and standing beside their owners, making all kinds of movements with short legs, which made people laugh. The prevalence of dwarfism led to the emergence of artificial dwarfs. Parents of poor families will choose a child, put it in a crock and give him food and water every day, but he will not let it out. He will become a dwarf when he grows up, and then he can sell it for a good price.

The nobles really like these little things. Queen Mary has a little dwarf. She dresses him up beautifully every day and then asks the painter to paint for them. The dwarfs looked at the queen adoringly, and the queen gained extraordinary vanity from it. In court, dwarfs play the same role as pets, and they are all tools for their owners to show off. They have no human rights and dignity. Once their owners don't like them, they will be abandoned. Dwarfs had no ability to survive at that time, and the final outcome was only a miserable death.

But some dwarfs get along well, because they are closely related to the king, so many things can be conveyed on their behalf and can also influence politics. Many officials have to please these goblins, who are as miserable as our eunuchs.
