actually yeah the description of gender in that article is wrong looking back on it lol
"In ordinary speech, sex and gender are often used interchangeably."
Lemme make it simple for ya so you can understand.
I'm sorry, I'm a diehard Pokemon fan. Would you like to keep insulting a kid? Does it make you feel better?
Kinda is when you see jackasses like that guy on twitter trying to force companies to force LGBT representation basically just for the heck of it. I'll use comic books as an example. Nobody complained when they made Ice Man from the Xmen gay, he was still the same person, but it just happens to be gay. Its there but its not *THE* biggest part pf his overall personality... Fast forward to literally Safe Place and Snowflake (Yeah actual comic book characters) who are literally there because Twitter didn't shut up about it.
Again, it's the writer's fault for writing a character poorly.
Not if they've been forced to write something they either don't want to write or don't know how to.
Apart from that being a very extreme, odd, and from the sounds of it fucked up and a little bigoted example, there is nothing wrong with expressing the desire for representation. if a company or creator takes this in the wrong direction then that’s kind of on them. Because the thing is, it’s incredibly normal for characters to be created for fans. Like, that’s how bigger companies get by. But there’s a big difference between making some thing that ends up looking like it’s pandering versus making some thing that organically fits in with the story or the world.
If they don't know how to write an LGBT character just do this: Don't write one. No one's forcing them to put LGBT representation in. It's just something people like to see in media and ask for sometimes
Sorry to tell you my face is dry and tearless and I'm laughing at half of these people.to all the transphobes in the replies: non binary people are valid and them existing isn't a political issue, cry
Alright, let me put in a way my mother would say it to be so I can be clear: their ain't no motherfucking difference. All those people who say there is are fucking psychotic nutjobs who never had the physical and intimate touch of a human being so they push this dumb ass shit to try to make others confused and miserable. That's it, the end. That's all I'm gonna say on it.
They write them shitty because they put too much focus on their one quality trait of sex/color/etc instead of writing a character.
Sometimes people are forced to to keep their job, but that's not worth keeping a job over. You say they have the write to not write a LGBT character, but then on the flipside you'll have people complain that "there's no representation! where is it!?" so, what do you want, for people to write shitty diversity or let them write what they want? Because let's face it, at this point it's almost impossible to write a character based solely on representation because 9 times out of 10, or 10 out of 10, it sucks and no one buys the product because of it.
… yeah this is incredibly yikes.
