i will say this: people who are sending death threats/threats in general to people involved in the show are going over the line. but that should be a given, because death. threats. are. never. okay. i will NEVER understand why people think telling someone they're going to show up at their home and murder them with a bloody meat cleaver will solve anything. tf? this won't solve anything. it only perpetuates hate and violence and that is NOT what we need.

but imo, just about everything else is fair game.

i cause discourse about this subject because it needs discourse. it will need discourse for as LONG as people don't understand how much it's affected people. it's affected people to varying degrees, sure, but it has affected people in a negative way and that's what matters.

again: it's been 14 years. enough time has been spent NOT talking about this subject, and look where it's gotten us: nowhere. i'd even go so far to say that we've been regressing. there have been 133 and counting wlw deaths in tv shows ALONE and i'm not even counting those of gay men. chew on that for a moment.

there have been some people out there who have been BLATANTLY a) disrespecting lgbtq's feelings in the regards of lexa's death and b) basically telling them to f*** off. they're going to be disrespectful during an especially sensitive time? well, i'm sorry, but i'm going to argue with them. arguing is exactly how we should be acting: we've been passive long enough.

what's even worse than some of the fans is that the network, the showrunners, and i'm guessing the executive producers are ''not. listening.'' they think it'll make things better? it will NOT. it is making things WORSE. it is EXACERBATING things far more than accepting discourse ever would've been. in the past 12 days, there have been tons of twitter trends slamming the show, slamming jason rothenberg; the show has started to attract bad press from very well-renowned sites like variety. does it MATTER that the 100 has been renewed? have you seen ANYONE talking about it as much as they have "The Lexa Issue"? no. because bad press is always going to be mentioned above good press. yet they have not uttered a PEEP on the entire situation. it's an entire PR disaster alone, forget about the social implications. they just burned an entire community whom they apparently believe to have little to no power (a grave assumption on their part) and now they're paying the price for it.

major social change, in history, has never happened with people being passive. in this matter, the time is gone for being passive.
