A character's sexuality is the least of my concerns when you're trying to write an entertaining and fascinating character. I get why many others might be drawn into a new work of fiction based on that, but it just isn't a factor for me. There are so many other factors of characterization that I care much more about, plus their role in the work's storyline. Whether they're straight, gay, or whether or not they end up being an item with another character at all, I take an entirely neutral stance on that. I'll like it if I think the character is ultimately just well-written, and I'll like the romance if I think it makes sense, and also, again, if it's simply, well-written. That's all that matters to me.

And as for shipping in fanbases, in general...To be blunt, I hate shipping, now. You can blame the final season of Star vs. the Forces of Evil for that.

Even I know how dated that kind of story is.

Also her defining trait is her obsession with dogs.

OK. I admit it's a bit of an exageration what I said. As long as you understand you're not writing for a woman, you're writing for a person, then you're good.
Whenever creating a character, it's usually easier for me to think about their purpose in the story and their personality before deciding those types of traits. It feels like I can create a character that fits in more seamlessly if I think about what role they play instead of what they represent.

Speaking of characters, this is a bit off topic, but my pal drew one of mine and I absolutely adore it. Their art skill will never cease to amaze me.

Does being both a kitsune & a tanuki count as diversity?

Maybe if they had some of the diverse people in the writers room with them. You can't trust a white man to write anyone well except a white man.
As a white man who was raised on Latin American culture and likes some of them Asian cultures since childhood I feel mildly insulted over this comment.

Everyone loves dogs and especially puppies.



Any show can get some much-needed extra wholesomeness from having a cute doggo.

Unless you go for the route that Fairly Odd Parents did.

I never really cared for shipping.



Has anyone seen the show 30 Rock? I just started watching but it's funny so far. I like it a lot more than Veep, that's for sure.
