If you are like me, (straight, white male) we don't need anyone telling us we can do anything. You really have no idea what kind of a privilege that is. I thank my stars everyday that I was born the way I was. Never met a lick of adversity for being me. Stuff went wrong, sure. I have plenty of scars and sad stories. But no one has ever wished I didn't exist or treated me unfairly because of who I am.

I don't care anything for this thread, but dude the level of self deprecation and simultaneous humble brag here is kinda toxic. We can all be equal without belittling our own experiences regardless of where you come from. Cheer up dude

He literally said he was Bi, dude. And he hasn't felt the need to be confirmed. A bi comes in and agrees with a "bigot" and suddenly he's outcast. OP has a point, stop forcing it into everything, develop the characters. If I start a new show about zombies and the 2nd scene is "HEY IM A LESBIAN." when they should be developing the story, its pretty annoying. Show me that character and let her develop over time.

A lesbian zombie. Interesting. I’m sure Hollywood would be interested.
-
‘Hey I’m a lesbian’ already tells you that character has probably been treated like an outcast and feels different from the ‘norm’. There’s quick, simple character development already.
-
No. If I go out in public and meet 4 people. 3 people give their name and introduce themselves with their job, but the fourth shouts "IM LESBIAN" and starts making out with the nearest woman, it's not "quick, simple character development."
-
Obviously they are someone who is very sexual and open. Already just learnt lots about them right there.
-
No, you learned that they're lesbian and greet some people by shouting their sexual orentation. Anything further than that is an assumption on your part.
-
Assumption happens a lot with characters, especially in short stories when you don’t find out much about them.
