Re: When gay characters die...

[(Anonymous)]

I am gay, and in my opinion, it just depends on it's done. With any trope I'm pretty willing to look at it fairly and on an individual basis. Still, trends are hard to ignore.

The question is, does it feel like the movie killed off the gay character because they didn't want to actually deal with the gayness? For that matter, did the character in question have defining traits and a characterization that didn't amount to "s/he's gay"?

If the character is treated fairly as an individual, and the story doesn't feel like it's conveniently getting rid of that character or punishing them, then I'm less likely to be offended. I'm also quite willing to keep in mind the genre - if loads of straight characters are also dying off, there's that, too.
