    marginalized characters that were added just to help get a book published

    If you've watched 'Back to the Future', you would also know that Marty, the main character, goes into the past by mistake to a time WHEN HIS GIRLFRIEND ISN'T EVEN ALIVE, therefore not making her relevant to the plot. However, if you watch 'Back to the Future 2', you would know that she is...

    marginalized characters that were added just to help get a book published

    As a nonbinary writer, may I make a suggestion? In the future, instead of using a gender specific pronoun or he/she use they/them pronouns. I know, because my maternal grandmother thinks so, that they/them pronouns can also be applied to a group, but they can also be applied to a singular...

You can't just slap the word "Lesbian" over someone and they're now lesbian; we act differently than straight women...

    I recently read a horror story that was the same. The lesbianism felt forced and unnatural, and like it was an afterthought. It was overall a terrible book and plot but in the end it felt more like a romance book than a horror.
