Hello! I apologize for the sudden announcement, this is pretty important, but I will keep it short!
This is regarding to a mistake I did on one specific chapter on a story of mine. For those who have seen it before editing, and those who haven't, I sincerely apologize. I stand with the LGBTQ+ community, I'm even part of it, but as a writer, it's unacceptable for me to easily use a slur, being part of the LGBTQ+ community is not an excuse. And I don't have any burning hate towards Rengoku Shinjuro for me to put that on a dialogue of my character.
Up before two people voiced out my mistake, I viewed the slur as mere insults to random people. The fact that it was not much long ago shows how naive and idiotic I still am to this age, and I take every blame for it.
This isn't an apology to clear my name to those who have seen it, but rather an apology to everyone and a promise that it won't be happening again. Again, it's not an excuse for me to use it as I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community, but to be aware of what I write, as they reflect on what everyone will see my characters as.
Once again, I sincerely apologize. It won't happen again. Have a great day to everyone!
