Look, I always try to maintain a level head and just ask questions, but what in Kentucky fried fuck does this even mean? A great writer can empathize and write convincing characters- they research and draw inspiration from others. Great writing doesn't mean they can write every genre, but it does mean they know how to sell a cast of characters, regardless of what they look like when it comes to any type of character involved story. I suppose this explains the weak work coming from this person because they don't even understand the basics of empathy? It is absolutely mind boggling how someone like this was a writer for anything because these tweets are a "do not hire me" call for attention. We've got murder mystery novel writers who can somehow portray a killer in chilling and "realistic" ways, but we draw the line once you look a little different? THE ACTUAL WAT SER?

@MadamSavvy Here's the thing: Let people do what they want to do. If people like it - great If they don't like it - that's their choice The problem with these recent dictums on art is that a small minority feels like they can tell people what they are allowed to do.
@MadamSavvy Removing the thinly veiled racism, sexism, and insanity, It all boils down to this: "You can't do X because of Y. Give me job please."
@MadamSavvy these people aren't writers.. only activists and/or propagandists. many logical replies in that thread, and I had to add in my 2c, as well. all of which will fall on deaf ears.
@MadamSavvy "as an expert writer, I understand I can't write a character who is different than me"
@MadamSavvy Says hiring consultants is industry standard for patching skill and knowledge gaps. Proceeds to very skilfully insult people who have a knowledge gap about how consultancy work in the industry. Yeah, I’m not filled with confidence here.
