pet peeve: when the main character is always the most boring character in a series bc the creator is writing them to be as broadly appealing as possible. LET YOUR MAIN CHARACTER BE A UNIQUE AND INTERESTING PERSON PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU
The only time this “insert yourself in the protagonists shoes” type of character works is when it’s in a video game, due to the interactive format of the medium. Otherwise I hate this trope too and wish we had more interesting protagonists out there.
National Coming Out Day is coming up (October 11) and I just want to remind everyone:
1) Please do not out anyone (even if you “think you are doing them a favor.” Trust me when I say you aren’t) and make sure you don’t accidentally do so.
2) It is okay to be in the closet. Please do not feel pressure to/obligated to come out because there so happens to be a Coming Out Day. (Do it for you if it’s what you want).
3) don’t “come out” as LGBT+ as a joke. Don’t “come out” as kinky/a furry/whatever, either.
4) Don’t force/coerce your friends and/or loved ones to come out, and do not get mad at them if they choose to stay closeted.
