The problem with all the characters being minorities is when some of them have to die or be bad guys I’m wondering if I’m playing into stereotypes. Two lesbians get possessed and try and end the world but they’re portrayed sympathetically and kinda tragically I guess? A female character literally sacrifices herself to raise a God to protect her home and family and now I’m wondering if I’m killing too many female characters although I still have lots (including a native american head of antarctic research and a 100+ year old grandma). IDK it’s hard to try and redeem really racist worldbuilding.
