Re: Weird things that take you out of a story

In modern settings, a lack of prejudice from every appearing character on even the smallest scale. I don't need anyone to be like, a raging homophobe, but if your main character goes about happily with their same-gender partner and no other character they meet even bats an eye or acts uncomfortable, your story is in the fantasy genre and you need to stop
pretending it's slice of life. Or when even the biggest asshole characters never misgender anyone.

I mean it really depends on the modern setting and the scope of the story? There are plenty of places where no one in your day to day life WILL bat an eye about you and your same-gender partner. If a story is set in cities where I've *seen* people not bat an eye at gay couples, I'm not going to wonder why the characters aren't facing discrimination when the story isn't about that. As a queer adult there are places where I've been out with visibly queer groups of couples and singles and encountered not a single instance of homophobia-- you can EASILY take slices out of my real life that are me out being queer with other queers and no one caring. (there are also places I've lived that were very much NOT friendly, so it does still depend on the story's setting!)
