This is a topic I've wanted to talk about for a while now, but have been afraid to bring it up due to possible backlash. So here we go.

After Lexa died there was this huge uproar of fans claiming Jason and the creators were anti LGBT. Now I will say her death was weak and should have been handled better having her go out as a warrior.

Now my point is I don't think it's right how the fandom reacted. By crying out saying the creators are anti LGBT has hurt the show. How you might ask, well they've made it so that they can't kill off another LGBT character. For example characters like Bryan and Niylah who should be dead are either still alive or just faded away. Since Bryan's actor is on another show and most likely will never appear again the character should have died but instead he just vanished. Then there's Niylah a character who never contributes to the overall story and is just there for Clarke.

However I want to go further on this topic because if look at the backlash the show got for killing off an LGBT character what happens when or if they kill off Jaha? Are fans going to claim the creators are racist? How about if Octavia dies this season are the creators sexist then?

With the backlash the show got its making it or going to make it impossible for the creators to  kill off characters which is why I believe a lot of the main cast is still alive. It's like the creators are walking on eggshells writing to make sure they don't offend anyone and receive backlash.

In my opinion when this happens the show suffers because the creators can't tell the story they want.

Leave your thoughts below and please stay civil.
