Originated in the fanfic-writing community and is very prevalent on Wattpad. However, there is still an issue with representation in author-casts.
"Hey, I just finished my author-cast, want to see?"
"Oh, cool! You have Idris Elba casted as the dad!"
"Yeah, he looks just like how I imagined him!"

I can't stand how third-party authority controls our lives—parents and teachers are always dictating what we can do, while seniors just chill and enjoy their freedom!
