No it’s not. I’m so tired of this “Lol gay=good” mindset. Speaking as a writer, I was writing a story that had primarily straight characters. Why, because that’s how I imagined them. That’s who they were. This damn site guilted me into thinking I had to change my characters to make the story good. So I made some gay, some trans, changed the races of a few characters and names. And you know what, it fucking sucked. Not because the characters were lgbt or poc, but because I had forced them to be something they weren’t. I became disinterested with the story and depressed, and I came to the realization that the story didn’t need to have lgbt characters or poc charactes to be a good story, because a story isn’t about their sexual preference or color, it’s about who they are inside. I changed the characters back to how I originally had them, which was primarily straight and white, and the story was reinvigorated because I wasn’t forcing it to be something it wasn’t. I was allowing the story to be what it was.
So no, gay doesn’t equal better. Gay doesn’t mean good. And having this mindset can negatively impact stories when you force your characters to be something their not.
i hate when i go up north and go to restaurants and the waiter comes to take my order and im like “do yall have sweet tea??” and theyre like “no sweetheart but we have unsweetened iced tea and we can give you some sugar packets!!!” llike no you fucking yankee because now the tea is already cold so the sugar wont dissolve in it and itll all just sink the bottom and be nasty learn basic fucking solubility this is 9th grade chemistry thats why sweet tea exists in the first place you fucking heat the tea up to make it and then while its still hot you add the sugar and then you chill it and its sweet fucking tea i bet you pronounce pecan like peecan too you four seasons-having piece of shit
assassins creed odyssey making what is undoubtedly a ton of money off gay people buying the game to play as gay characters and then adding a dlc where your character ends up in a straight relationship and has a baby, unlocking the achievement “growing up” (lmao) no matter what choices you made is just *chefs kiss* video games
some customers: oh my god i’m so sorry i have to ask you a question i feel so foolish for not knowing this already please help me but i’m so sorry forgive me
other customers: answer this question before i’ve even asked it or i’ll kill you where you stand
it really is next to impossible to write realistic sibling dialogue, I just passed my brother on the stairs and instead of greeting each other like human beings I said ‘born survivor’ and he said ‘youtube rewind. let’s set it to rewind.’ like you ain’t gonna find that shit in a novel
aw man writing siblings is so wild because sometimes you just can’t portray it
me and my little brother don’t even greet each other - if we pass each other on the stairs or in the corridor, we jump into ridiculous fight stances then feign karate chopping and slapping each other (stopping just before we make contact) whilst making “HIIIYA” and “POW” noises for a solid 30 seconds, then silently walk off and continue what we were doing
and then sometimes he’ll either just do the Had To Do It To ‘Em pose when I enter the room or dab as a greeting
exactly! I have three younger brothers and the original post was just about the oldest, the middle one and me usually do some kind of elaborate dab also, and a lot of the time when I see the youngest I just yell his name like a wrestling commentator…siblings have a different language
