First, writers should create gay characters with diverse personalities. Don't rely on stereotypes. For example, make them have different hobbies and career goals. Second, give them complete story arcs, not just sidelined as a sidekick or a tragic figure. Third, make their relationships as central and important as straight relationships in the story. By doing these things, we can avoid the bad tropes.
First, choose age - appropriate stories. For very young children, simple and positive stories with happy endings are best. Avoid stories with too much violence, fear, or complex emotions. Second, know your child's sensitivities. If your child is afraid of the dark, don't choose a story that has a lot of spooky night - time scenes. Third, preview the story before reading it aloud. This way you can make sure there are no elements that could be disturbing or inappropriate for your child.
First, develop a strong sense of moral values. If you firmly believe in what is right and wrong in terms of sexuality and relationships, it will be easier to resist the allure of bad erotic stories. Second, surround yourself with positive and healthy media. Read books and watch movies that promote healthy relationships and positive sexual values. Also, engage in real - life social activities to focus on real - world interactions rather than being drawn into the fictional and often harmful world of bad erotic stories.
One bad trope is the 'tragic gay' where gay characters are often given overly sad or fatal endings. It's as if their stories can't have a happy or normal conclusion. Another is the 'gay best friend' trope, where a gay character exists mainly to be a sassy sidekick to the straight main character, lacking their own full development. Also, the hypersexualization of gay characters is a bad trope. They are sometimes portrayed only as sexual beings without other aspects of their personalities being explored.
One way is to regulate media platforms. They should have strict policies against publishing such inappropriate content. Social media sites, for example, can use filters to block or remove any posts that contain 'dirty gay stories'.
Stay positive. A positive attitude can change the way you perceive a day. Even if something bad happens, looking at the good side can prevent it from becoming a 'bad day'.
One way is through strict media regulations. Media platforms should have clear rules against promoting such vulgar content. So that they can filter out any form of such inappropriate stories before they are spread.
Educating the public about appropriate and inappropriate content is crucial. People need to be aware that this kind of extreme erotica is not acceptable. Also, parents should teach their children to stay away from such inappropriate content from an early age.
Avoid using sexualized language and scenarios. Instead, concentrate on positive character traits, their dreams, and how they interact in a platonic yet interesting way. Also, think about the story from a perspective of emotional depth rather than physical attraction.
One way is to promote awareness about consent. Make sure that everyone in the community, whether straight or gay, understands that any sexual activity should be based on clear and enthusiastic consent.
One way is through education in schools and communities. Teach people about the harm of humiliation and discrimination towards any group, including the gay community. Additionally, self - regulation within the creative industry is crucial. Writers, artists, and content creators should be aware of the impact of their work and refrain from creating such offensive content. There should also be support for the gay community to speak out against any form of degrading representation.
