You stay out of things when your contribution won't positively influence the situation? Just to point out that you are not exactly "staying out of things" now, I have serious doubts about you too. Yeah I know that Eliza said that and I don't approve of the fact she said that. She has a big mouth and she's honest though so, well nobody's perfect I guess. But she is a good person, she is pure at heart and good to those who are good to her back and I like that about her. She is really grounded like that.

Tv shows these days are bordering more and more on the lines of reality, everything has meaning nowadays which is why everything is stirring up more controversy. Like even that last episode of TWD, you cannot honestly have seen that episode and still say "it's just a tv show". Everything in that touched base with reality which is why it was such a hard blow for viewers, which is why viewers in turn take these topics so seriously.

Lexa likewise is a signifier. She is not just a tv show character anymore, she is symbolic of a whole culture, community and way of life. She MEANS something. Now, that can't be said for all shows I know. Like the characters in FTWD, ok, they are just characters on a tv show, nothing symbolic or deep rooted there. But when you find that odd gem, a diamond in the rough like Lexa, you know you are witnessing something special that could change the way people think. It certainly made more straight people open minded towards the LGBT community. So therefore when she is cruelly snathed from existence in the same breath that she was created, you can't expect there to NOT be a strong reaction to say the least.

Honestly though your lack of enthusiasm kills me, it's like you're just floating along and express no real passions at all for anyone or anything. Surprising how not even Lexa can draw such emotions from you but maybe you have different interests.
