Re: When gay characters die...

(Anonymous) 2015-07-19 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
The problem that I have with this argument is that, if you look at the sum totality of Western media, it's just clearly not the case that characters dying or getting a tragic ending means that the characters are bad or going to hell. Or is Shakespeare telling us, in Hamlet, that all Danes will burn in hell?

I don't think it would be useful in any way to cut off gay characters from the vast range of stories that have tragic endings. I think there should be more happy endings. But that doesn't mean sad endings are bad.

Hamlet is one story. If there was a history of Danes only ever being written into stories if they died tragically, typically as a result - explicit or implicit - of being Danish, you might have a valid comparison.
