  1. Writing dilemma of the day: How much racism can I inject into this character before readers will start to hate him?

      I’m with B Dubz on this one ^ And actually, as a WOC myself, I find it hard to hate racist characters. I usually just feel sorry for them :D Now, unless he’s literally committing hate crimes, I think you can toe the line if the racism is stemming from an aspect of his character, like his upbringing or maybe deep-seated insecurities. People are never going to like his racism, but they be able to sympathize and/or root for him to get better. Unless it’s very casual racism, which I think can slide for the sake of the story.

      That’s good advice. I might push the limits a little, when emotions run high and ugly situations bring out ugly in people. But this character’s racism will be coming from an obvious place of fear and ignorance. If it shows up at all. These little fuckers have been crafty at evading my attempts to throw in conflict so far, but I’ll get em! *shakes fist* 

      Thanks guys!
