I have a hard time believing people are under these kinds of "pressures" for real. Stories with few or no POCs make up a significant portion of published books in the U.S. and Europe, and I don't see it being any different for fanfiction. People like to cite SJW bogeymen a lot, but I think it's more about their discomfort with the idea that something they write (or have written or want to write) might be considered racist and exclusionary by some people.

Nailed it.

Exactly. imo, at least 50% of omg sjw! whining has this basis.

Exactly, at least for me. It's the fear of the dogpile rather than an actual dogpile. I admit, I've jettisoned ideas for stories I really liked because I had a feeling some might miss the point and leap on me for being OMG racist or discriminatory when I was actually deconstructing it. People don't tend to read fanfic for nuances.

So rather than the headache, the fic stays as either just an idea, or locked away on a dusty, musty flash drive.

Yeeeeup. Bonus: I'm a POC, and I don't give a damn about what skin color the character has. As long as I like the character and the story all is good.

This just makes me think of overly sensitive SJW's or white people who are trying too hard to not be racist. It's a little ironic actually.
