| And you think the production would only know if the fat character was the butt of a joke if they hired a "body positivity consultant"? And you think all characters who aren't white, cis male, straight, thin and young, need to be authentic multilayered characters? And if they aren't then a consultant from that community who is also a quality dramaturg worth hiring should be brought on to help re-write and guided the writer to re-writing it so they are? Interesting. (also, i must say, i know several dramaturgs and trust me when i say many dramaturgs are not worth hiring) These are very different things... consulting on whether or not the community the character belongs to would be negatively impacted by the way its written ... and making sure the character in question (and all characters who are minority of any kind) is "multi-layered", and should not be confused as the same thing. |
