Just Like Me

Character Like Me is a collaborative project to change mainstream media like TV, film, books, comic books and video games. Minorities are being represented poorly when they are being represented at all. Maybe you’ve noticed how difficult it is for people of different genders, ethinicities, sexualities, disabilities and more to find characters in media that they can relate to. At Character Like Me, we feel like that affects the way we view ourselves and the way that others view us, too. To help change this, we’ve made a space for minorities to speak out. If you feel like a group you belong to is not being represented well or if you just want to see more characters like you, we want to know. Help us give a voice to groups who have been ignored while offering references to creators who want to add diverse casts to their works. We will also be sharing things like news, media we feel offers positive representation, opinions and more. We want to highlight, not only where pop culture falls short, but the successes of great representation and the works created by minorities who find it hard to enter an industry that is largely dominated by a single group. Feel free to submit an example of: How you want to be represented in books, films, comics, etc. Overused character stereotypes that you are tired of seeing. Examples of well or poorly written characters that we can learn from.
