Cute lesbian tumblr2/26/2024 ![]() As long as it’s not all one-sided support, she, too, gets something out of the relationship. It’s absolutely okay for the Black girl to support White girlfriend emotionally. You seem very aware of the pitfalls, which is key to not falling into them. *Onto the part about her being caring and supporting her girlfriend with her depression. On its face, she seems well-balanced and not conforming much to the Strong, Independent Black woman stereotype. Has a personality aside from strong (sweet, caring* intelligent, creative, etc.).Does not handle everything on her own or never ask for help.It’s problematic when it becomes the character’s prison and a means to disregard their well-being, since they can take it/handle it themselves/not that bad. Nothing wrong with those traits in itself. I’m always wary when a Black woman is being described as “independent and strong” as you’ve done here. ![]() To simply have a BWWW doesn’t minimize your pairing and the rep it brings, but is just another form of it.Īt the same time, if LGBTQIA+ Black folks want to chime in, you’re totally welcome! Characterization of Black Character ![]() Black women in healthy relationships in media are severely underrepresented in all forms. Other Black lesbian / gay pairings (Black person x Black person or Black person x Other PoC) are important and a very valid concern and representation folks want to see, too. BWxWW couples exist! These pairings should not be considered not diverse enough or as being overplayed in terms of representation. ![]() Is it okay to write a Black Woman x White Woman couple? Also, I hope the question is not too long. English is not my first language, I apologize for any mistake. Do you think I’m doing something wrong with the black girl? Am I unintentionally promoting harmful stereotypes? They both have their moments of weakness and need the other to be supportive. But since she and the white girl are the main characters and the main couple, the story focuses on their relationship. As I said, romance is not everything there is to know about her-quite the opposite. The point is, I care a lot about the black girl I mentioned before. They all have lives, families, friends, enemies, dreams, jobs, hobbies, etc. I don’t want to erase the blackness of my characters, but I also know it would be very wrong to make it all about their skin color. I’m a female white writer, as you may have gathered. She’s into art and has dreams, but also fears and weaknesses like the others. She is also sweet, caring, intelligent, creative, and a lot of other things. The black girl (still working on the names, that’s why I refer to them as the white girl and the black girl) is an independent and strong woman, but not as in the “black woman who can handle everything on her own and never asks for help” stereotype. She also benefits from the relationship and at some point her girlfriend helps her overcame a big problem. For example, the white girl suffers from depression and the black girl slowly understands how to live with that, but I don’t wanna risk writing her as someone who’s there just to take care of others. They know each other, they slowly fall in love, and when they get together, they grow up as a couple each day. I want to portray them as a healthy couple. The girls both have their own stories and their characterization focuses on important things of their life. Still, I’m afraid I’m doing something wrong. I don’t think black people, especially lesbians and gays, should only date white people-that’s insulting. While I think that’s true and I believe we need more stories that focus on this matter, I was wondering if it’s still ok for me to write about an interracial couple? I’m not doing because I want to push an agenda. Basically, there’s not enough representation of black lesbians dating other black lesbians or black gays dating other black gays. I’ve also read black people complain that homosexual black characters are allowed to exist on screen only if they date someone who’s white. One the internet, I’ve read several black people say they prefer dating only black people, which I totally get. The main lead is a lesbian couple, a white girl and a black girl. I’m writing a fantasy story in which romance, despite not being the main plot, is recurring. Hi! I run into your blog and, as I was reading through your posts and answers to other users, I thought you could help with something that’s been bothering me.
