Re: The Kill Your Gays Trope

(Anonymous) 2017-02-18 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. Bury Your Gays specifically refers to a trope, which has historical baggage, where gay characters can be portrayed but not have happy endings. They either have to be "punished" by the narrative, or the series just refuses to commit to making a fully developed gay character so doesn't know what to do with them beyond the fact that they are gay, so kills them off. Or the insisting that gay characters must have tragic endings because being gay is hard, so kill them for the sake of forced tragedy.

If most/all characters die, regardless of orientation, I don't necessarily think it counts, but depending on how the characters are developed (or not developed, as it may be) I think it could still feel annoying.
