I will do my best but at the end of the day "good representation" is always going to be secondary to my quest to create the most specific Little Guys in the world sorry
#esp with regards to alt world fiction like sorry my characters' lived experiences wouldn't map 1:1 with a real person from the 21st century#and also! everyone that is alive right now is also the Most Specific Guy in the world and there is no one magic way to portray a trait#or identity and have it resonate with everyone who is/has that irl!!!#and sometimes I get very tired. I want my characters to be diverse because I want to write about people#and people are diverse#I am not trying to be anyone's spokesperson! especially for groups I am not a part of!#I don't want to be tempted to strip my characters of ''diverse'' traits so some hypothetical person won't be mad at me!#anyway please interpret this post in the way that will make you the least mad at me. that's what I meant. thank you
