The Nightmare Before Christmas by Jim Lee
I read you say earlier, on tumbler that: gay and lesbian characters are best left to gay and lesbians to write as the same with jewish characters best be left to jews to write. Perhaps i am misunderstanding you (i am an aspie and it happens). If not, then i have to disagree. i.e. Greg Rucka wrote batwoman beautifully, and what about guys writing female characters isnt that the same?
That is not what I said at all. that would be a ridiculous thing to say. if you’ve read any of my work you know that I clearly do not hold to that philosophy. I’ve had characters from all walks of life including gay characters as far back as one of my first graphic novels goldfish.
the question was referring to that person looking for quote unquote ‘sassy’ or over-the-top gay characters in the X-Men and I said that THAT kind of material, that ‘will and grace’ type of gay character was probably best suited for a gay writer if they were so inclined. because I know if I saw a over-the-top Jewish character, even though i know they exist in the world, as a Jewish person, I personally, would rather it was coming from a Jewish writer.
because, in my opinion, its a fine line towards racist caricature
