Part 5/13:

• Script Descriptions & Stereotypes: Writers are advised to avoid describing characters’ gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation unless essential to the story. For instance, specifying a character as Puerto Rican should only be justified if it adds depth, not just for representation. Writers are cautioned to avoid stereotypes—and the list of stereotypes they must steer clear of is exhaustive.

• Character Framing & Portrayal: Characters shouldn’t be confined to stereotypes based on race, gender, or sexuality. Women should not be overly sexualized, and characters in caregiving roles should not be depicted through traditional stereotypes—like women as subservient or men as always inept.
