Maybe authors should start putting disclaimers in the front of their books:
We do not condone the behaviours of any character that seems slightly antagonistic, and nor we do take any responsibility for any of their evil deeds.
I know, poor Curt didn’t deserve anything that I forced him to endure.
Yes, it’s such an entertaining way to waste time. ๐

I always think disclaimers that say “none of the characters are based on any real people” are ridiculous, because I totally base my characters on real people.
How else do you write realistic characters??ย ๐
I wonder if it’s like the copyright laws, like, if you change ten percent of them they don’t count as based on real people?

September 6, 2018 at 1:27 am #76507@seekjustice Well, I don’t baseย all my characters on real people.ย Just some of them.ย But I do learn about character traits and behaviors from studying real people.ย And I’ve always been sure every other writer does as well. ๐

Yes, I definitely base characters on people! Usually not purposefully though. I usually just realise, oh! So and so is a lot like so and so.
But I love when those disclaimers are in historical fiction novels, where the characters sometimesย areย real people.
