The right’s obsession with fictional characters being a certain way is weird. Like, they honestly think its an extreme political statement if a protagonist doesn’t meet all the criteria: straight, white, male, or if there’s more than one supporting character who doesn’t meet all those checks.
They call people who write women, blacks, and homosexuals extreme, but I’ve never seen anyone who actually cares about a character’s skin color as much as they do.
And if a writer is trying to give black people, female people, and LGBTQ people a hero they can relate to, so what? If they are trying to make a hero from a social minority, why does it matter? As long as the story and plot are good and well-written, why do they care so much about black lesbian characters?
Why do they have this weird fixation with straight white men?
