*Reads thread.
Glances at WIP.
Realises she could be hung, drawn and quartered.
Decides she couldn't give a fuck.*
Why?
Because it's my CHARACTERS not me that are speaking. If they are racist, homophobic, sexist and generally the most non-PC of people, well, that's who the CHARACTER is.
I don't worry about being 'PC' if it's not in the nature of the characters. Beyond that, if someone is really setting out to take offence, then they will always find a way to do it.
