Re: Diversity in BE
Sometimes I describe a character in what I think is great detail and I try to give them certain physical features that I think are cute or sexy so that not only would I like them for their boobs or bodies, but to identify them and have something else to talk about. I think that is a good thing for an engaging story with endearing characters. I try not to make their race or background that big a deal, unless the story or situation just calls for it. I think there's a fine line between introducing a character as a certain race and having their narrative reflecting that versus beating the reader over the head with it every time that character is discussed.
So with that being said, I do my best to avoid being cringey and making any character a stereotypical caricature by defining them by certain things that are associated with certain races, but I don't want to skip over cultural differences either.
Thank you for your input.
