Read the original poster's comment and they tell you. I'm sure there's plenty more I've forgotten, but all around, this decision was so terrible on so many levels that it's unbelievable no one objected at any point in the approval process. Either everyone at the CW is incompetent or the objections raised were completely ignored, making this whole situation even more despicable because they were already told why it was a bad idea and went through with it anyway.
 * JR queer-baited the LGBTQ community since the end of Season 2 about Clexa
 * JR (and other writers) made promises for good representation at last (and even gave hints that Clexa might be endgame).
 * They knew from at least the end of last Season how important Lexa was to the LGBTQ communiy. Over hiatus, her symbolism only grew further and the show took advantage of that to draw in more viewers and get new fans of the show. So when JR claims he didn't know how much of an impact Lexa had, he's flat-out lying (hell, even just a couple of weeks ago, he was reposting #clexa4me tweets).
 * JR has been instigating Bellarke/Clexa shipping wars all hiatus long by posting Clexa/Lexa non-stop (part of the fan-baiting problem) and then telling everyone to "get along"
 * They build up Clexa all season long before finally having them consummate their love literally 2 minutes before they kill Lexa
 * They had Titus, a father figure, trying to kill Clarke for her "bad influence" on Lexa, making the unintentional moral that your parents will kill you if they find out you're LGBTQ.
 * They killed Lexa in the most unoriginal and tropish way possible, duplicating Tara Maclay's death and reminding everyone that it was exactly because Lexa had just found happiness that she "needed" to die to fulfill the trope (whether intentional or not)
 * JR's response has been silence, leaving the rest of the cast and crew to do damage control.
