Completely Different Things

Description

Why do fans think if changing character's sexuality or gender changes their personality? That thing isn't true! With that logic every tomboy is lesbian. -_-

If Ghoulia was boy or lesbian would she be loud, self-confident, stupid and into sports? No. She would still be quiet, shy, intellingent and into comic books and science.

I am happy, encourage, liberal, shy around new people, hard-working, stubborn, romantic and artistic. I have dated two times with a boy and I have had crushes here and there which makes me straight, but I consifer myself as asexual, because I'm not intrested in having sex. So, does it make me automatically boring and colorless? No, I'm still happy, encourage, liberal, shy around new people, hard-working, stubborn, romantic and artistic. If I was lesbian or a man, my personality would still be same.

Unlike education, circle of friends and trauma, sexuality and gender don't change your personality in the way or the other (usually). If you read fanfitions where characters personality is completely different, it's because the writer doens't understand the difference between being a gay and personality, or being a girl and personality.

I used :icondanielledragons123: stamp base.

If you like the stamp, you're allowed to use it. It costs nothing.

Let's take Noelle from Deltarune as an example of how to write LGBTQ+ characters.


Noelle has always been a shy bookworm who often gets overlooked. This was before she was revealed to have a crush on Susie (so, before late chapter 1), or even before she was a major character at all.


Did her personality change when it was revealed that she had a crush on Susie? Does her personality undergo any major changes around Susie? NO. This is a perfect example of how to write LGBTQ+ characters. They're still people. Don't make their sexuality their defining trait.
