OP

Oh god, I really hope I'm not quite similar to those people. I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with people writing about a group they aren't a part of (hell, even I'm not a part of *every* group I mentioned as examples) as long as they do research when necessary, at least attempt to be respectful, and aren't all 'these people are evil weirdos' or some shit. And I don't think I've ever seriously used the word 'appropriation' in my life.

I'm not sure what BBC shows you're talking about, but I think I'm going to try to start working on my stories again and see what I can do with them. Thanks.

I worded that poorly. I mean well-spoken people who criticize media on the internet and care about queer representation.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of thing. It's much easier to get derided as a bigot if you include characters who aren't mainstream and someone thinks you wrote them wrong. If you don't include these characters people can only criticize you for exclusion.

BBC seems to have an actual agenda aimed at putting more minority and queer characters in their dramas, including scifi. They seem to be doing a better job than American networks right now.
