Would you read this story? Is it diverse enough? Share your thoughts!

My story has 3 POC MCs, as well as 3 white MCs, and 2 LGBTQ+ MCs. One of the MCs has autism, and another is deaf. Also, there is no CC or name choices! I consider myself a pretty good writer, and I’m trying my best to improve my coding so people can enjoy it. Would you read this?

I always appreciate diversity, but a lot of the times authors only include it for the sake of including it and don’t correctly represent them. Not to say you’d do that, but if you’re able to correctly display and represent people with autism, people who are deaf, poc, and lgbtq, then I would 100% read it.

I was going to say the exact same thing as @shreya.epi!

Diversity is great, but if it’s not actually reflective of the lives and challenges that people belonging to these groups experience, it’s performative. Just make sure you do your research about these groups, watch YouTube videos, read personal accounts, talk to people. Research is important!
