A reminder, to myself and the world at large

[esmenet]

You don't have to write about white people.

You don't have to write about Christian* people.

You don't have to write about rich people.

You don't have to write about straight people.

You don't have to write about young people.

You don't have to write about pretty people.

You don't have to write about cisgender people.

You don't have to write about just one person at a time.

You don't have to write about innately special (e.g., the best at some given thing, the last of their kind, that sort of thing) people.


You can, but you don't have to. And that's important.

*I tend to write about atheist/agnostic people, but again, that's me writing my own situation and beliefs onto characters.

I couldn't agree more.

Gotta agree with the point you made there.

That's good to be reminded of.
