Episode 128 - Gender and Sexuality Inclusivity

<p>In this episode, the two Matts sell a device that auto-generates giant door-stopping encyclopedias about your fantasy worlds no matter how scant the details, learn a new grammar term and define it sort of for the listeners, mercilessly mock each other for the works we're going to rip off this month, and talk about writing characters of different genders and sexualities in the first of our set about inclusivity. What are some ways we can include these people in non-token ways? How can we portray them accurately and positively? What are some good examples of these characters done right? What will happen to Matt David's reputation after that terrible joke about burning the witch? We discuss it all, with incredible experience in the matter as straight white men, and talk about Glee, John Wick, Star Wars, and Captain Marvel.</p> <p>Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?
