I’m at the point in writing where I can make the character whatever. I could’ve made the MC anything so just for shits and giggles I made them black and female since Everybody is all up in arms about race and gender and I’m going to write the story anyway, so..... I said fuck it it doesn’t matter that much to me. Let’s be honest, those features don’t make the character, their personality, triumphs and failures do. It’s a shame others can’t separate such basic features from societal stereotypes and just get on with writing the damn story. I didn’t even have to try to get the past the bechdel test
