Yeah, I agree with this comment too. I was mostly thinking about how not everyone who dies was someone important. There are people whose death has no real impact on the world except that a person who loved them is grief-stricken by the loss. That's what I meant by "not fundamentally bad." And then there's some fiction formats -- like old episodic shows without arcs -- don't really have the time to make a character very complex if they want to tell a 45 minute story about a character's death, and I don't think the format restriction should mean they shouldn't tell that story (of course, it's rare that this trope works well in any format, because it's a hard thing to write well.)

But IA 100% with how wives and mothers who die are treated in comparison to fathers who die, and all the other sexist bullshit that goes into this trope.
