Re: When gay characters die...

Uhh... Well, that depends on how and why they died. I feel more affronted whenever I see another Gay Villain (or Bisexual Villain).

Gay fridging isn't really as much of a concern to me as making someone LGBTQAetc and just making them automatically evil because reasons while their straight white protagonist runs around saving the world.

Charlie on SPN and Willow on BTVS are the biggest examples I can think of, if that context helps.

Yeah, I still can't really care. I don't think it's particularly terrible for any character to die until it becomes a case of the black guy always dying first.

To my knowledge this doesn't tend to happen with queer characters as much as they get cast as antagonists.

It's actually a really established trope. I'm too lazy/can't come up with examples off the top of my head, but if you look up Bury Your Gays at TV Tropes they'll have an ample list of examples, and a lot of criticism has been devoted to this phenomenon.

Most people on Supernatural who aren't Dean, Cas, and Sam end up dying on Supernatural (...but hell, even they've each died a couple of times before even though they at least got to come back). This is especially true if the character is a woman. I'm not sure that one is really a good example. If she was one of the few characters to kick the bucket, then maybe it would be more suspicious

This right here is why I was baffled by all the Hannibal shippers who were wailing about "Representation!"

IDK bro a cannibal serial killer isn't exactly great representation.

but it shows you how transparent their motive are, they care more about their ship becoming canon than any actual notion of social justice

SJ shippers are among the most annoying. No, getting to be smug that your ship is canon is not my social-justice issue.
