    • Is not immediately educated upon and accepting of trans issues upon finding out
    • Fails to immediately place trans guy upon appropriate pedestal OR decry him as traitor to femininity
    • Does not know a single trans lady, thereby transmisogny
    • Is dick to boyfriend and has major disagreement with him, thereby Abuser

    Unfortunate Writing Disgrace

    I feel bad because all of my characters are both legit problematic and not legit problematic (it's because I was born from the problematic, molded by it) and I couldn't pick -_-. So I decided to pick my most problematic baby and my least.

    Keisuke Kamiyama:
    • Misogynistic. Bisexual with male preference. Was abused by a woman.
    • Light Skinned, Thin, Allosexual, Diagnosed Privilege.
    • Invalidates Otherkin by pretending to be a God in Human Form and admitting he was making it up for attention.
    • Traumatizes Asexuals by walking around his own house naked and being Hypersexual with weird fetishes.
    • For the Radfems: Engages in the dehumanization of women by reading Porn Manga and having consensual BDSM sex with male partners.
    • Transmisogynistic. Cis bisexual man that does his nails but won't identify was NB. Also crossdresses for sexual thrills.
    • Fetishizes Transness. Has sex with Bad trans men sometimes and doesn't kill them (allowing them to continue to spread Bad Transness).
    • Dudebro behaviour.
    • Culturally Appropriates Japanese name when he's only a fourth Japanese.
    • Body shames by being ripped and working out regularly.
    This was harder than it ought to be because I thought things like "Has violent urges and will sometimes go through with them" would be approved due to a literal Impulse Control Disorder/diagnosis of Conduct Disorder as a youth. Poor murder machine.

    Doctor Ava Graham:
    • Bisexual but doesn't identify as Pan. Had sex with a cis man once.
    • AFAB, Thin, Depression, Straight Passing (not in a relationship), Light Skinned, Allosexual and Amputee (invalidating BIID sufferers) privileges.
    • Internalized Racism. Black but displays interests in White people instead of other Black people. Also straightens her hair.
    • Ableist. Makes her patients take their medications on time and doesn't accept excuses or lies. Also, a therapist.
    • Believes that nobody's really evil and visits Problematic Bad People in prison, therefore making her a Problematic Bad Person.
    • Shaves her legs for the Patriarchy.
    • Doesn't wear makeup contributing to Femmephobia.
    • Identifies herself as gender non-conforming and wears flannel and suits appropriating lesbian culture.
    • Destroys Fetchling culture by making them not murder people.
    • Contributes to Changeling oppression.
    I tried to keep away from actual problematic things like the fact that Kamiyama has sex with corpses because Tumblr Culture says that's okay because it's part of Fair Culture.

    * Claims she was abused yet is still friends with her abuser, who she has FORGIVEN, so it must not have really been abuse

    Heh, here's a character I used to write a lot when I was a teen;
    -Is a furry who is portrayed as white when she shapeshifts into human, which is automatically racist even though she's a European wild ferret born in an expy of Celtic-Medieval-something England.
    -Is a ferret, an Always Chaotic Evil species in her home continuum even though they are adorable.
    -Survivor of attempted CSA and serious emotional neglect who doesn't feel horribly traumatised.
    -Probably misogynistic in that she doesn't particularly care when the mother who neglected her to the point of handing her over to a known rapist without protest is killed.
    -Happily adopted by a gay guy and his hetero female roomie which is heterocentrically implying all kids need one male and one female parent even though she calls the guy Uncle and he and the woman aren't romantically involved.
    -Probably has Reactive Attachment Disorder and it's ableist that this isn't stated outright even though she'd have no way of knowing (see time period above).
    -Is cis and her sexuality isn't stated because she's only six, which is ageist.
    -Eats people.

    This thread is actually really helpful for me for fleshing out these characters. It's like those memes of "three million things about your OC" except funnier, so I'm more inclined to actually think about it.

    Daela

    -Deliberately irritates people.
    -Is obsessed with having "biological children".
    -Wasn't actually born with red hair. Or red eyes. Or red skin. Maybe she's just covered in blood or something.
    -Negotiates with terrorists.
    -Considers assassination a valid negotiation tactic.
    -Would hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker.
    -Nepotist.
    -Sometimes pretends to be much younger than she actually is.
    -Aro/Ace/Agender, but doesn't make a big deal about it and goes by she/her most of the time.
    -Is bigger on the inside.

    Zacharia Wolfe:

    - privileged enough to not follow their world's naming scheme entirely
    - has a masculine name despite being enby, thus gender traitor
    - probably abuses poor uwu cinnamon roll Null by being a creepy obsessed adult
    - isn't actually older than Null, just looks like it, thus appropriating adult-ness to appropriate pedophile culture
    - has science privilege despite not being one of the designated Academics (tm) of the setting.
    - their hair is probably problematic. Look at it. God (cw: religion) it's so ugly
    - knows things about setting. Lore Knowledge Is Problematic.
    - killed POC-characters, female and gnc characters, disabled characters and gay/bi characters alongside all the privileged ones, is thus racist, sexist, transphobic, ablist and homo-/biphobic.
    - is not actually a gender activist, despite being enby
    - is a nonbinary villain, thus transphobic
    - tries to make an amnesiac remember, the dirty ableist scumbag
    - is mean to furries/otherkin
    - has deity privilege.
    - caused the literal end of the world.

    Null:

    - does not examine their privilege because of amnesia
    - especially fails to feel properly bad about deity privilege
    - cannot prevent the literal end of the world a few times, the dirty scum.
    - forgot about Wolfe, which is abuse.

  19. Ganymede Leptonyx
    - A troll but his name doesn't follow six letter scheme simply to be a contrary dickbag.
    - high blood privilege
    - spends like 3/4 of his life being xenophobic then ends up dating a human like a hypocrit.
    - likes problematic media and doesn't understand why its problematic because of cultural differences.
    - anger issues
    - doesn't care about social justice. His tumble (that exists IRL because I'm trash) is mostly just reblogs of pictures of seals.
    - hates penguins
    - has a lusus more suited to a purple (semiaquatic) than a violet (fully aquatic) and is thus appropriating.
