Inital Research 10

I've been looking into media portrayals and stereotypes of  LGBTQ+ issues and people and the negative/ positive effects this can have on the viewers. I've also been looking into hate crime types and statistics and how media and news outlets portray these. From this I'm going to look into how having actors play characters that are LGBT when they're not can be damaging and how this can aid in the perpetuating of negative stereotypes towards LGBT. I'm also going to start generating character and world design ideas and images so that there is more to work with in terms of an outcome.
