@Bugthe, don't worry, this aint my first rodeo :p

Overall I think it's safe to say that TV politics are a strange things, and actors/characters can become blurred when fans take things too serious. Not to say that lexa's death shouldn't be taken serious for the harmful trope and for the loss of representation. But it's still a tv show. I mean this show gave us cannibalism, genocide and children killing eachother. We know you shouldn't watch this show is you're sensitive of that stuff. Lexa's death was probably the darkest page in The 100's pagebook, but even that people can overcome. And people can move on from it (or at least that's what i'd advice)

On the toppic of Eliza, I know she's a lovely person and her fans are generally great too. She is an amazing rolemodel to so many people. She's truely wonderful, and I love her. However even Eliza sometimes does things that can have people turn against her. At SDCC she made a comment on Bellarke, that many Bellarke fans took badly. And just like that, every fandom has it's bad seeds. People will get too attached to things they see on tv and lash out at real people, and that's just the dark side of the moon. I just choose to stay in the light and be positive as much as I can. I try to avoid shipwars at all cost, and I generally stay out of things when I know my contribution won't positively influence the situation. Maybe that's a bit optimistic of me, but so far it hasn't done me much harm :p
