i know i said i was going to be less divisive but this is making my blood boil. (@Redlion to clarify, in no way am i condemning you. you're a gem :p)

first of all...a "first step" to what, exactly? forgiving the industry??? 'cause that's what it freaking seems like to me.

this is tantamount to giving a free pass to the industry. do they not understand that?! anyone who signs this NON-BINDING PIECE OF USELESS PAPER will later be able to point to it and say "i'm an ally!!! i have a lgbt* character onscreen!!! watch me and increase my RatingsTM, for i have promised that i will not kill off lgbt* characters!!! even though i have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to earn that trust!!! except sign a NON-BINDING PIECE OF USELESS PAPER!!!" and that's not even to mention poc/other minorities! do you see how much media coverage this is already getting??? the industry is getting good press and that's what they're aiming for in this mess. and then what if the 100 signs this NON-BINDING PIECE OF USELESS PAPER??? they're going to be like "awww well we made a MistakeTM with lexa but since we signed this NON-BINDING PIECE OF USELESS PAPER we are ForgivenTM because we will never, ever do it again!!!" oh my god! no! "first step" more like "10 steps backward"!!! smh!!!

@Myheartisskippingbeats: gay/bi characters should stop dying in the same contrived manner over...and over...and over again.
