The concept of roles being taken by people with the same traits irl was something interesting that I'd never thought about wrt LGBT before (I don't consume much with actors in general). I have an ex who is a wheelchair user and I have my own disabilities, but invisible, so we did a lot of comparing notes on our experiences. She brought up how she believed characters with disabilities should be played by disabled actors and it took me a long time to understand why. This is a great point in the other direction but of course it doesn't translate to the world of visible disabilities. I think it could translate to invisible disabilities since you're not necessarily inherently "out" but I have to give it more thought.
After rereading this and considering I'm not super familiar with hexbear, I feel like I should also note I'm not trying to say LGBT is a disability, just that it's an ethical guideline I've been taught before in one way and has "intersectional ramifications" if that makes sense.
Nope! I like you too!
