This makes it all the more obvious that most of the outrage is from people who never even heard of the show until this happened.

AYRT

I can understand fans being upset she died. Hell, I'm upset she died. It is upsetting. I loved her character and the relationship. And it is nice to see a F/F relationship that seemed more about the relationship than about titillating viewers. However, the show has a lot of death. A lot. And it's not like the character who killed was in a safe role and just happened to die because she was having a relationship with another girl. Her life has been at risk pretty much every day ever.

Nooooo, don't you see, the writers made her a lesbian because they knew she was going to die eventually! It's all a carefully plotted conspiracy from the beginning because every writer's biggest obsession is showing the world how much they hate lesbians!

One of the show's writers admitted that they had actually discussed that specific trope ("Bury Your Gays" vis-a-vis Tara in Buffy) and had arrogantly concluded they could carry it off better than anyone else.

So fucking excuse YOU, anon.

Source? I haven't seen any interviews with the writers about "Thirteen", just Jason Rothenberg.

Nope. Not buying it. I bet they discussed the trope because it's a good thing to be aware that tropes exist, and concluded that what they were doing wasn't an example. Because it isn't.

Tumblr, maybe. But I'm pretty sure that most of the outcry on Twitter is from people who never watched The 100.

I'm on Tumblr. I had never heard of The 100 until Lexa's death, so unless half the people I follow had been watching the show without posting about it at all until now (possible, but unlikely), lots of the outcry on Tumblr is also from people who never watched it.
