Bullying Fiction Characters

In this episode of Tasha’s Comedy Show, author Maxwell Conroe discusses the topic of fictional character mistreatment by their creators. He cites examples like Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, alleging they suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder due to threats of being killed off by their authors, Dame Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Conroe emphasizes the need for authors to treat their characters with dignity, even when they become iconic, as the pressure to keep producing similar stories can lead to resentment. Tasha expresses her concerns as an avatar character dependent on Conroe’s support. Still, he reassures her about the show’s future, leading to a discussion on the complex relationship between creators and their characters, particularly regarding responsibility and longevity.
