PSA: responsible representation within roleplay.
I could easily be one of the LEAST qualified people to write this post, but lately I’ve noticed a phenomenon within roleplaying communities. writers will change their muses’ race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender ( or attempt to tackle a muse of another race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender ) without writing any supporting headcanons or making any attempts to incorporate those identities into their muses’ story. Sometimes these “efforts” at representation go no further than a simple faceclaim change ( and, in the worst cases, an alt faceclaim ). This can feel like a token gesture to minority groups, and to be honest, it is. It is GREAT roleplayers are beginning to understanding the need representation within roleplay communities !! Representation is needed. But RESPONSIBLE representation is needed. Writing a character of a marginalized identity should be proceeded by education and dedication.
1. EDUCATE YOURSELF: 🗸 learning about systemic racism, intersectionality, sexual & racial & gender discrimination, cultural & ethnic norms, external & internalized oppression, whitewashing & erasure, misgendering &passing, tokenism vs. diversity, nuance & stereotypes ( and much more ) will contribute to your ability at writing good representation. If any of these topics may sound completely foreign to you– so DO YOUR RESEARCH! HELPFUL LINKS FOR STARTERS: writing people of color writing poc when you are white writing characters of other sexual orientations comprehensive list of lgbtq+ terms stereotypes and tropes navigation preventing tokenism gender-inclusive guidelines introducing race & skin color naturally
2. DEDICATE YOURSELF: reach out to qualified friends and acquaintances with a genuine curiosity and willingness to learn what life is like in their shoes. be open to accepting hard truths, facing hidden biases, and correcting personal misconceptions. puruse articles and blogs that address the identity you’re looking to write. When re-working your muse, DO incorporate what you’ve learned into their history, psyche, mentality, logic, and ultimate story. things to avoid straight out the gate: X stereotyping - falling back on tropes & generalizations X cultural appropriation - writing about a culture that is not yours, while perpetuating stereotypes or egregiously misrepresenting it X whitewashing - portraying your muse as lighter than they are X fetishism - fetishizing a person or culture belonging to a race or ethnic group, as well as a person belonging to a certain sexual or gender identity group X tokenism - including a minority character for the simple sake of having a minority character X homogenizing - “every gay is the same”, “every latinx person is the same”. to avoid this, write your muse with their own unique dreams, goals, thoughts, stories, and passions. important things to remember: 🗸 just because you fall into a specific minority group does NOT mean you understand life through the eyes of another minority group. X “Oh heck, I could easily write a black muse without research, after all I’m gay.” 🗸 “As a gay man, I acknowledge that people of color have their own unique perspectives and experiences that I have never lived.”
“But that’s a lot of work!” BINGO. People can’t peel their identities off like a pair of clothes, so arbitrarily changing or writing a muses of a certain race / sexuality / ethnicity / gender without appropriately explaining how such changes alter the fabric of their identity, sends out the message that these identities are totally inconsequential.
“But I might screw up.” It’s quite possible you won’t get everything right, but that’s where you stay open to critique, criticism, and pointers, and reach out to people where you can’t find answers. The answer isn’t to totally throw in the towel.
“It would just be easier to write my own identity.” Again, representation is needed within writing. refusing to do so because it’s “work” is a major cop-out.
In summary, offering up the bare minimum representation isn’t good enough anymore. Representation must be rooted in learning and understanding. So educate yourself, dedicate yourself, and REPRESENT the people groups who need it the most. Be safe, and be responsible with your muses’ identities. 💖

“ no —— “ his train of thought abruptly stopped and he doesn’t remember what he was going to use as an excuse next. “ drinking? iris, no! i don’t think so? i was with the legends for a hot second, i remember having fun with nate and ray and then —— maybe we were drinking. “ with the realization of his shenanigans, a hysterical laugh echoes through the room. “ can we just not tell dad? “
dark hues grow wider, listening to her brother’s adventure and finding out that he had been drinking. that is when iris steps closer to him, softly slapping his arm. ❝ that’s for lying to me. ❞ another slap. ❝ and that’s for not knowing your limits with alcohol! ❞ she whispers, head shaking. all those times iris had wished for a brother, this was not what she had in mind. ❝ what do you suggest we do? lie to him? ❞
JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT as MADDIE BUCKLEY in 9-1-1
the fact @sunhken spent our hiatus watching 911 and talking about it AND SHE STARTED AFTER ME BUT FINISHED WAY BEFORE still leaves me shocked
hebites.
perhaps he should be more considerate . lydia was allison’s 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 so of course she’s going to be hurting . but isaac was too lost in his own pain to register anyone else’s . he’d gone to the room to say goodbye , to leave with some sort of peace . 𝔟𝔲𝔱 𝔥𝔢’𝔰 𝔯𝔬𝔟𝔟𝔢𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔱𝔬𝔬 . perhaps that’s why he completely ignores her tears , eyes looking anywhere but at her . ❛ ❛ chris is - 𝚠𝚎’𝚛𝚎 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘𝚘𝚗 . so you’re gonna have to leave . ❜ ❜
his words cut through her chest like knives, the type allison used to own. she cannot help but wonder if this is what they are left with -- the darkness, the anger, the hole where she once stood. glossy lips are pressed together, hand instinctively reaching out to wipe away her own tears. lydia should not have let him see her cry. after all, she never lets anyone see it. ( and truly, she does not know if she has a right to weep. ) ❝ i’m sorry. i didn’t mean to-- i didn’t want to get in your way. i’ll leave. ❞ slim figure forces herself off the bed, light hues falling shut for a second before glancing in his direction. ❝ i hope... i-- have a safe trip, isaac. ❞

words make young heart skip a beat, the image of pure bliss as light hues fall shut at the feeling of his lips against her cheek. it all started as a plot, the golden boy and his golden girl -- mother’s plan, of course. but there is nothing fake about the way he makes her feel ( nothing fake about the way her cheeks burn a shade brighter when he is around. )
fingers roam down her skirt, giggle escaping glossy lips as she rests her hand on his shoulder. the picture perfect of young love. ❝ link! ❞ she exclaims, hand covering her mouth. but then it hits her. ❝ wait -- most of the time? ❞
