God, I hate Tumblr. Saw an author promote their book and the representation was their selling point. "Trans protagonist! POC main cast! Lesbian romance!" Thank you for representing. But NOTHING about the story. Nothing. Just "look at all the diverse identities". And give me shit for this if you think I'm wrong but the race, gender, and sexual orientation of a character aren't what makes a character. If your trans protagonist is as bland as a brick wall then your character's poorly written and that detracts the quality of writing overall. And if your story is just "look at all this representation" then... that's not a story. You didn't promote your story, just your representation, and that's not enough, but apparently on Tumblr it is.

Write trans and black and Asian and gay and ugly and out of shape and regular, non-special characters. Write outside the tropes of quirky, unique, pretty, talented people. Write non-white, non-straight, non-cis people. Write them fleshed out beyond that because there is more to every person than that. And write their story well.

Just. THERE WAS NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE STORY. Say exactly what you said - but say MORE.

tl;dr Tumblr SJWs piss me off.
