If you want people to make characters that aren’t cishet white men, you have to actually tolerate people making those characters 3 dimensional, rounded characters with both good and bad qualities, otherwise you can’t expect more diversity or representation in fiction because if you bitch and whine about every single female/non-white/non-cishet character not being a perfect precious cinnamon roll capable of no wrong, nobody’s going to want to cater to you and nobody’s going to want to create anything if it’ll just be inevitably torn apart by a bunch of wild animals on some blue website.

How to Write an Antihero

An antihero is neither a hero not a villain, but a character who lacks the qualities necessary to be a hero. Because an antihero hinges on knowing what a hero is, you can check out my article on How to Write a Hero.

Flaws and Virtue

              Most characters have flaws and virtues. However, the flaws of an antihero are more balanced compared to those of a hero. Of course, an antihero must not be so flawed as to stray into villainy. They are simply too flawed and not virtuous enough to be called a hero.

Good Intentions

              The motives behind antiheros are what separates them from villains. They will likely want a noble outcome, such as saving the kingdom, but might go about it the wrong way. For example, if a character holds a princess hostage in hopes of negotiating with the king, the reasons and methods are what divide the categories. The point between an antihero and villain is what he wants from the king and how he treats the captured princess.

Sympathy

              As I demonstrated, an antihero is contingent on how the audience understands their actions, motives, and values. A way to achieve this balance is by manipulating the audience’s sympathy. Read my article about writing sympathetic characters to learn more.
