The thing is "forced diversity" only became a real thing after people online got called out for only ever having like white ocs or just Never making women [ESPECIALLY TRANS WOMEN] and now sometimes I see a character lineup and its like Oh I can like actively see the diversity checklist you were crossing off in your head specifically to try and get tumblr woke points because you are being so fucking Weird about this. Like in an effort to be like LOOK LOOK AT HOW DIVERSE MY CAST IS I AM ADVERTISING THIS BY JUST TELLING YOU ABOUT HOW DIVERSE EVERYONE IS YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW GENRE OR THEMES they make it so clear that making characters of color or women or disabled characters etc has to be a Conscious Choice instead of just. Something that comes naturally because that reflects our real world.

#Sorry I started thinking about that fuck ass paranormal park or whatever show #Makes a character who is a fat trans man. Makes his last name FUCKING GUTTMAN.#and again like. The complete performativeness of Woke Anachronisms #Like sorry man. If you make Sir Arthur and his knights do a pronoun circle thats stupid #The fact of the matter is a lot of the terms we use to describe things are new!#Like you don't have to have a character state every minute detail of themselves to be good rep #And frankly as someone who doesn't tend to bring things up unless its relevant like #I want more rep for people like me pleaaaaaase #There are so many of us that don't feel the need to be open with Strangers abt gender/sexuality/abled status/culture #like. It just isn't other peoples business!#I need to log off before I go on a tangent about how much I also fucking hate pronoun circles #I have to do them so much in college. Please. Please I'm so tired of how weird people are #If someone wants to know they can Ask Me stop making me choose between #Outting myself to the whole damn room or misgendering myself if the vibes aren't right #ANYWAYS. Bed time yaaaay ^w^#chittering
