I have seen people comment both on here and elsewhere that some PoC characters are that in name only. And have heard people say that a "black person would never say that" that hispanic girl is a reskinned white girl. I recognize that when some writers use PoC characters as mouth pieces to talk about that ethnicity, but it seems to be a more social outlook in some cases that is hard to put a finger on.

On POC Characters not being “authentic” enough

I’m here for fixyourwritinghabits’s response to the POC would/wouldn’t accusation.

X people do not all act, react, think or live the same, so you’re right to raise your brow at anyone saying “Nah, Black people don’t do so and so.” But what you will want to look at is if this claim is valid in relation to your particular character. 

So let’s take talking back to one’s parents. Let me generalize and say in the Black community, this might be something that’s not gonna happen so often and there’s lots of jokes about how shocked Black people are to see how their White friends are allowed to say certain things to their parents that would get them personally in trouble with their Black parents. 

Observe:

But not every Black person or family is the same. You might have a Black character who would talk back and whether drama ensues or not is up to the development you created with your characters.

It’s a strange thing to balance, achieving alleged “Authenticity” vs. avoiding stereotypes, but it can and is done when you realize that people are influenced by not just their identifies as Black, Latinx, or otherwise, but personality, social class, family lives, and so on.

Eating toast for dinner instead of cooking is better than not eating anything at all.

Using mouthwash instead of brushing your teeth is better than not taking care of your teeth at all.

Wiping yourself with a damp cloth or baby wipe instead of showering is better than not bathing at all.

Doing only one out of five assignments you need to turn in is better than not submitting anything at all.

Talking to a loved one on the phone is better than not talking to anyone at all.

Playing your favorite video game, listening to good music, or reading a book instead of "grinding" is better than not doing anything at all.

Don't beat yourself up for not being "productive enough". A little productivity is still productivity.

would writing a character with sight in only one eye have differences from writing an abled person?

Yes. The character would experience issues with depth perception and limited visual field. They could still drive, could still have good aim, but it wouldn't come as naturally to them as someone who has both eyes to map out distance and angle.

Losing an eye is a type of amputation, and the cause/event might be traumatic or emotionally difficult to talk about. Or they might be the gallows humor type and making jokes about it left, right, and center.

Prosthetic eyes require maintenance and care the same way any mobility aid or prosthesis does. That's a step of daily care that fully sighted people will never experience.

Some people choose unusual, non-matching prosthetic eyes for fun the same way someone might choose colored contacts. Others choose not to wear a prosthetic eye.

sticker sheets!!

If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.
