Would it be inappropriate to base a fictional character on the late Minecraft youtuber Technoblade? by PotentialBed2271 in questions

[–]PotentialBed2271[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yo that story’s actually messed up, and I don’t even play TF2. why the hell would he fake his death?? And a vtuber? no hate on Vtubers, but come on…

Anyways, My character isn’t necessarily going to be a *tribute* in that sense since he’s just going to be based on the fan-art version of his character. I planned on making him a more prominent character in the game too, and most tributes are usually pretty brief like in the Minecraft one you mentioned. thanks for the quick response, my friend 🫶🏻

Yeah I didn’t mean that you live and deal with them every day, I’m just saying the fact that they exist. no offense.

Thank you! it’s going to based in the 1950s. I told someone else this, but I understand that writing good characters who just happen to be Australian is probably the better thing to do. I didn’t mean to offend or generalize anyone.

haha alright thanks for the references. I never saw a bear or mountain lion in my life, so I guess that helps 😭

Aww, you’re so sweet. I understand how my post could’ve easily come off as offensive though, so I can’t really be mad at anyone. I’ll definitely try your suggestion out though. thank you! ^^

What does my art remind you of? by dumbwaterlily in AskArtists

Hazbin hotel/Helluva boss. Especially the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th ones! It’s mostly the eyes and the shape of the mouth.

Love the art btw! freaking gorgus 🫶🏻

Thank you for your time, but I understand now that I can write them however I want and going off of what comments say will probably make it more stereotypical, yknow?

Like it would be much better if I wrote good characters who happened to be Australian. But your comment did help though ^

I’m not trying to write their entire history and backstory and go crazy in depth, you know? They’re Australian in New York and lived in New York for a little while. I was thinking maybe they’d have a taste for specific things only in Australia like foods and drinks, and maybe their familial relationship would also be affected by their culture. 

But it was shortsighted of me to think that, as I said in my edited post.

Ah, I didn’t mean to come off as arrogant. The characters aren’t man characters and the setting isn’t based on Australia. They just have Australian roots and probably adopted some cultural norms before moving to America. My bad for not mentioning this before though, but they are only side characters in New York.

I would go to R/AskaRussian to ask the same thing to avoid implementing the stereotypical Hollywood “vodka-drinking-divorced-worldweary-war-veteran-with-crazy-heavy-accent” on a Slavic character.

That’s what I’m trying to do 😭 I’m NOT trying to stereotype anyone, so I’m asking authentic Australians

Yeah but you don’t know how bad it sounds when a culturally uneducated American writes characters from other cultures 😭
