  • Diversity isn't the issue here. Bad writing is the issue. I don't know why you or the furry in thar video have to bring diversity into this, but let me be real for a second. A lot of writing sucks, and it just so happens that a lot of bad writing happens to be done by people who value diversity in their writing. A lot of these people are fresh out of college 20-30 something year olds who are eager to put their voice out there, and they had no one did them the kindness of telling them their writing needs work. This has a number of reasons, one of them being, as far as I can tell from my experience, that people are afraid to criticise poor writing and when left unchecked these poor writers spread their poor writing skill. The entertainment community has lost its teeth and as a result we have people who can't connect with people writing stories centered around people and sitting at the developmental helm of multimillion dollar projects. These people have passable writing skills at best, and nobody calls them out on it, and we're left with an echo chamber of bad ideas and tropes and cliches. You wonder why there are so many poorly written female characters out there? It's not because people focus on diversity, it's because people who don't know how to write are writing these characters and inspiring others who don't know how to write who then go on to make more poorly written stories. Heaping "clever banter" and "quips" into your writing won't help it if it's in shambles. I read the comic, and it was serviceable, but it wasn't great, Ana being a lesbian didn't make the comic any more or less interesting, it was just a side note in a by the books webtoon. That's not good. I want this story to grab me, I want more, but all I got was...meh.
