Don't sweat the Space Lesbian thing. All Space Lesbians are lesbians in space. Not all lesbians in space are Space Lesbians...

[Graelyn]

I am a proud space lesbian.

[Shintoko Akahoshi]

Cute, too!

[Synthia]

I like Katrina

Dont you change a thing about your toon unless YOU want. I will echo what has been said here; the eyerolling "space lesbians" tend to be the master/slave/talk about nothin else sorts.

These people are nothing BUT kinky, shove it in your face "lesbians".

Katrina is a woman who is a politically and socially aware, a pilot, a corpmate, a friend, a soldier, and oh yeah, also a lesbian.

Small difference.

Half of my characters could, and would use sexual orientation against Kat if they had a chance. But, luckily, they are not aware of it 

My characters don't usually dig into others private lives, so it is very low possibility that they find it out, unless you shovel it into their faces Quite possible situation, if you would want to provoke some drama-lama

I like Katrina as she is, never actually thought much of her sexual orientation, didn't matter to me. But, in any case, Kat should be what you want her to be, not based on what others say or wish of her... otherwise, you end up RPing someone you don't like, and that leads to nothing good.

You know you're roleplaying a LGBT character well when people you interact with don't even think about it.

Definitely inclined to agree with Creep, here.

[Sepherim]

Me too.

Well this is all confirmation that I am entirely oversensitive.

Well this is all confirmation that I am entirely oversensitive.

Katrina, almost all objections to any roleplay style you care to name (at so long as we're talking personality and characterization rather than canon) are contingent on the player not quite playing a person. The entity being played might be an archetype, or might be a stereotype, but at any rate is something simple: a high (or low) concept brought to some superficial semblance of life.

For some, this is just a matter of inexperience: they don't have enough experience stepping into other people's shoes to create someone three-dimensional.

For some, it's thoughtlessness: there's only one thing they want or expect out of the character, and that is what the character becomes.

For some (hopefully) rare few, it's maybe a matter of judgment: an opinion that people are ultimately simple, and that THIS sort of person acts like THIS.

From what we've been hearing, however, you don't match any of these patterns. Katrina's not a stereotype or an archetype or a wish; she's a person, a believable person. I think that's more important to pretty much all of us than any single trait that goes into making that person up-- and, what's more, serves to justify any that does.

That is my view, at any rate.

This. A thousand times, this.

LGBT was short-hand for what, again?
