3) WHY THE FUCK IS THE ONLY PEOPLE ANGRY ABOUT HER DEATH CLEXA FANS AND LGBT.... SERIOUSLY, SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH HER DEATH, I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO WRITE AND THAT IS WHY I AM ANGRY..... BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN I UNFOLLOWED ANYTHING OR SENT DEATH TREATS.... YES SHE DESERVED BETTER AND HELL YEAH, I CRIED AT THE END OF 3X07 THE FIRST 8 TIMES I WATCED IT, BUT JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A LESBIAN, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY HER DEATH WAS SO BAD, I FOR ONE LOVED THE TRAGEDY OPF IT, BUT THE WRITING WAS JUST PISS POOR TERRIBLE.... GREAT EXECUTION, OF COURSE, BUT AGAIN, WHY WAS HER DEATH SO DIFFRENT..... I have never been a Clexa fan and I never even really liked Lexa so your accusations are unfounded. LGBTQ representation in the media is almost as bad as POC representation. I don't know how many different ways I can explain covert racism and cover homophobia but it's about the always negative representation and stereotypes they're forced to fulfill, whether it's death by a stray bullet immediately after sex (the most common form of lesbian death) or being made into villains, drug users/dealers, and/or killed off (the most common tropes for POC). If yo can't see anything wrong with perpetuating stereotypes and leaving LGBTQ and POC with no good role models on TV, then it finally makes sense how Trump has so much support in this day and age.
