Why is everyone complaining the the show is mistreating LGBT characters just because Lexa died?

• Lexa's death was a necessary evil. They didn't kill her off because she was LGBT or because she was a love interest of Clarke (treating LGBT wrong? Their protagonist is bisexual! And she has had more relationships with women than men). They killed her off because it was needed to move the plot forward. Her death mattered -- they didn't kill her for the simple sake of killing her off. It wasn't for shock value or anything else. Even if ADC wasn't on FTWD Lexa probably still would have died because that's what the plot called for.

• As mentioned above, Clarke -- the protagonist -- is bisexual and no one has questioned it. There was no big drama about it, no one who shunned her because of it. They made Clarke and Lexa (and even Clarke and Niylah) as natural as they portray straight relationships. Also, they very casually mentioned that Miller was gay.

People of color are by no means mistreated on The 100.

• A pretty big portion of their cast is of color (Lincoln, Indra, Rave ect.). Yes, Pike is a villain. But so were Dante and Cage. Him being a villain has nothing to do with his skin color.

The 100 literally treats PoC and LGBT the same as every other character. They don't give them "special treatment" but they also don't mistreat them. They include PoC and LGBT characters with no fuss or drama, and their storylines have never been influenced by either of those factors. I simply don't understand where the complains are coming from.
