Why is Lexa only remembered for being a lesbian?

To me, that's just as upsetting because Lexa was more than just a girl who loved girls.

She was a strong commander who may have made some questionable decisions, but ultimately wanted to do what was best for her people. She was much more than a love interest for Clarke and it's sad that people don't see that. I didn't even like her to be honest, but I was still upset by her death simply because of her characters leadership qualities and what she could have done for the Sky people. I understand why she had to die though even if it upset me.

Stop trying to make Lexa's death an issue simply because she is a lesbian. Wells was an African-American boy who died for no good reason, but no one got riled up about him. Where was the argument when Charlotte jumped off the cliff as she was a representative of depression? What about Finn who suffered from PTSD?

All I'm saying is that if you are so upset about Lexa dying simply because she was a lesbian than I'm sorry, but that in itself is sad and offensive.

Acknowledge that people are more than their sexual orientation, gender, or race. That these fictional characters have backstories and traits other than being a certain sexual orientation, gender, or race.
