Hey guys! I was just wondering how often do you I include characters with different cultures, ethnicities, and disabilities? For me, introducing characters with these is really important, but I know some people are wary of it due to them worrying that they won't portray it correctly, which is understandable. However, a lot of people simply don't do it because they're too lazy to look it up at all or simply don't want to use a POC.
Also, characters with disabilities are important as well and aren't portrayed either. It's understandable too, but they actually used a lot and not even correctly, like schizophrenic characters portrayed as aggressive and always talking to themselves. I made one character with face blindness, where they couldn't recognize a person by their face but had to use things like clothes, body language, etc to recognize the person. I find it extremely satisfying to look more in depth into things like these. However, romanticizing isn't the way to go when creating characters with illnesses and stuff Do you play characters will disabilities and mental illnesses?
