I have cut myself before so I think personally I am okay to write about red. It just pisses me off when you get people doing stupid poo poo like blue or green. They haven't experienced blue! They haven't experienced green! So presumptuous.

How could a writer's 2-week half-assed research capture a person of color's life experience?

How could a white painter ever do a portrait of anyone but himself, idk, seems impossible to me Billy

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
The key is to not have any gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality or religious affiliation described to a character in a book.

It makes it easier to adapt it for the big screen.

The correct thing to do is write about them, but don't have your book become popular or make too much money because really I think that money should go to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I guess the only comfort I can glean from this article is that people who believe writers should be free to write whatever they want and that the concept of "cultural appropriation" is stupid horseshit for idiots, are given keynote speaker positions at the Brisbane Writers festival while women like whatsername are relegated to lovely online articles.

For now.

It's important to me that white people don't do things that they enjoy so my crappy books and short stories about talking animals who fight crime with an 80's attitude can get published

You're a talking animal who fights crime with an 80's attitude?

Luckily America is a free country. And by that I mean the website owner is free to delete individual comments, and then disable the comment section as a whole once someone writes "they're censoring the top voted comments!"

Hmmm, so if my story doesn't contain diversity, that's a racism. But if I do include diverse characters, that's also a racism. White people, very bad indeed.

the article reads more like if "if you dont engage me in a discussion of whether or not you should be pilloried you are de facto the horrible monster i make you out to be" which is less crazy and just as crazy at the same time

People should write about whatever the gently caress they want because nothing on this dirtball loving matters and if you get pissy about what other people do that doesn't affect you maybe you should thing about your own meaningless short life and how to spend it better.

An extreme overreach based on white people writing minorities or others as tokens or to hijack their own "enlightenment" when if you can write well rounded characters who gives a poo poo


Just maybe don't have a black guy who is the only character with a dialect in his dialog
