Bad writing is bad writing.
A character being gay, or black, or female, does not drain an author of their ability to portray characters.
Indeed. It's usually just kind of shoving that in as a subplot where it makes no sense that baits the bad writing. Like, just let a character
be
, or make the plot make it make sense for them to give such exposition. Don't fucking trauma dump your entire life story because I rescued them from a dire wolf or something. I kill 20 dire wolves before breakfast.
Ain't nobody needed Krillin to explain shit about being a midget. He's just some guy that happens to be short, and he kicks ass, and risks all life on the planet for some cyborg booty.
