Who determines when a death is appropriate to the show vs. the old trope winning out? <br /><br />Not every death is an example of the trope. Most, but not all. I will continue to decry the poor storytelling, insulting trope. But I will also stop and evaluate whether or not a death is appropriate to the show or not.

I'm sick of hearing them defend burying their gay because anyone can die or they have to be uncompromising in telling their stories. Tatiana Maslany said it's incredibly reductive to just see a character as a lesbian in response to disappointed Orphan Black fans, but the truth is that it's incredibly reductive to keep telling the same tragic story over and over again for lesbians and bisexuals, or yeah, opportunists. <br /><br />It sucks and I'm tired of it. The same PR line of defense is getting as old as the trope itself.<br /><br />This trend of queer deaths is really bugging me. I've lost respect for so many shows not just because they kill of my representation, but then they have the nerve to say they are above the trope. It's so disrespectful that they can't even acknowledge that their storytelling is unoriginal and harmful in the grand scheme of things for queer audiences. <br /><br />It's these showrunners abysmal responses that actually turn me off from their shows over the actual character death itself.Leah M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-23067168553494228682016-04-11T10:29:08.705-07:002016-04-11T10:29:08.705-07:00Thank you, as always, for expressing our thoughts ...Thank you, as always, for expressing our thoughts so well.
