So, no matter how badly this caused a chained reaction of painful emotions for the fans, the show actually profits from it! #Lexadeservedbetter in twitter and #IStandWithLexa etc, is also giving the show attention. Think of that for a second. Dwelling too much into her death, makes the show more popular, not in the best way clearly but none the less it's still popularity! Yes, but there is a tipping point where bad publicity actually does affect the celebrity or the show. Ratings have already dropped and will probably continue dropping if the season continues in the way it has been (terrible all around). Two weeks later and articles are still being written pointing out all the negatives while supporting the fandom whereas the showrunner and the CW remain silent, leading to even more bad press.

This show was never big enough to withstand this kind of storm and this storm has grown even bigger than the show itself. The backlash has started a movement with this show becoming a symbol of how viewers have continuously been abused and ignored for ratings for too long and usually at the expense of minorities.
