What has people upset is that they queer-baited the Clexa fans before fulfilling one of the most obvious and cliched tropes of all-time, Bury your gays, while also fulfilling a few other common tropes (pretty much every other trope linked on that page).

"However. Regardless of the overall death toll of a show, the death of a gay character nevertheless has different cultural context & emotional weight, as there are unlikely to be many other gay characters in the piece of media. Gay audience members are generally left with no one else to relate to, or only the grieving partner of the dead gay."

Why I think the show will not have a fourth season, besides JR turning out to be a dick.
