itβs actually really easy to satisfy audiences with Good Representation. you canβt depict someone struggling with their Otherness because that portrays it in a bad light but you have to depict them struggling with their Otherness because if you donβt, then youβre romanticizing how hard it is to be Othered. be super careful not to depict anything that might be adjacent to a common stereotype but if you go too far to avoid all stereotypes, then youβre still building the characters around stereotypes, which is a stereotype in its own way. if your storyline uses tropes, then itβs cliche, but if it avoids tropes, then itβs inauthentic. if you lampshade any of this, then youβre speaking down to your audience but if you donβt acknowledge this, youβre also speaking down to your audience. this is all really easy stuff i donβt know why people donβt get it.
