Intersectionality in Storytelling

Here's a great post about intersectionality in storytelling.  The author is gay and black, enjoys writing genre stories, and keeps running into people who want to take some or all of that out.  Intersectional writers get treated like shit.  And this is why we have cookie-cutter entertainment that is not, after you've read the same thing 50+ times, very entertaining after all.

Thank gods for crowdfunding where we can have intersectional characters if we want them.

Didn't that bloke write his own amazon reviews and get into a whole lot of doo-doo for it?

Doesn't mean his point is wrong, mind you.
