#ooc #specifically; for a game about outcasts; it's often a point of criticism that p5 doesn't tackle lgbt issues at all (or worse; is bigoted #in itself) and i agree with that criticism #the game still has a lot of good points to make don't get me wrong but. #i think it'd be fun to create an oc who's outcast (like the other PTs) from society due to their gender or sexuality #and who rebels against society's bigotry and accepts themselves; similarly to the other pts. however. #i do worry about being a cis woman writing about gender or even writing about sexuality when discrimination isn't something i've experience #myself. (i'm aroace; and a-spec people definitely do experience significant amounts of harm from bigotry imo; but i personally have been #very lucky.) #I kind of feel like it's not my place to write a character who's strongly impacted by these issues as a result?? out of fear of talking ove #actual lgbt voices; i suppose. this mostly applies to if i decided to write a trans character; i think. #so i'm asking for your opinions I suppose. #i'm very tired so i apologize if i worded any of this awkwardly as well; feel free to ask for clarification if i've been unclear #tl;dr i would love to make a gay trans woman phantom thief but i worry it's not my place to write a character to whom #their struggles with the exclusion they face from society are a major part of their character #as a cis woman who's faced little discrimination herself. #homophobia mentions tw // #transphobia mentions tw // #aphobia mentions tw //
