1. Irresponsible storytelling on NETWORK TV during primetime hours without any advisory for content is what people are complaining about. As to suicides, I haven't heard if any have actually occurred yet but I have directly seen people who weren't triggered with Lexa's or Lincoln's death get triggered by the Raven scene AND the Murphy scene. Code 307 is now being used for Lesbian death tropes, Code 309 is now being used for POC death tropes, and Code 310 is now being used for suicidal/self-harm warnings. If they would simply put up a warning for the triggering content, there would probably be less fallout. Even freaking Law & Order: SVU puts up content warnings and they're soooo much more mild than this show (topical vs. visual).

2. Man rape is real. He was her prisoner. He said NO, she threatened his life, he complied. That is rape no matter how you look at it but maybe if you switched out the genders, it might make things a little more clear. If Murphy was a female, there would be no question it was rape.

3. Clarke hasn't been the lead character this entire season. All she's doing is reacting to everything around her. She takes no action and just sits around waiting for things to happen.

5. I'm now more irritated with the unearned redemption of Bellamy than I was by the moral myopia of Finn.
