there are no non-racist reasons to be against diversity

it's easy for characters outside of the writer's experience (e.g. a straight man creating a character who's gay) to be written poorly, but really that's an indication that diversity is also needed among writers

Right because all characters written by the same demographic are all good, perfectly written characters. Jesus Christ how stupid have people become?

also, there are diversity consultants that you can pay to look over your work and make sure your characters are good, so there's really no excuse

huh? Did a grown adult just use the term "diversity consultant" seriously in a sentence? Please someone tell me this is satire. This must be a joke. Also what criteria would a "good character" have? As long as they hit enough check boxes right? Someone tell me this is a goddamn joke.
