I think we're talking past each other. I feel like something can have other complicating factors and good points and still be very much "technically" and "traditionally" fridging. And I don't think the particular factors you listed originally are as different as you seemed to think they were.

And I'm honestly really tired of the wink-wink nudge-nudge 'we're going to use a harmful trope but mention that we know it sucks, that makes it fine to still basically use it whole cloth, right?' that a lot of pop culture tries to get away with these days. I felt the same way about all of Ant-man's "lmao isn't it funny and bad this movie isn't about Wasp" lampshading. It's not that edgy, it's not that funny, it just means the writers kinda knew this was a lazy trope that hurt people but couldn't bother to think of anything better. In Antman's case, I could maybe accept that studio mandates forced the writers' hands, but I think deadpool had a lot more room to go out of the box.

Honestly the whole thing would bother me so much less if people stopped trying to defend it. It can be a good movie and still contain a lousy trope in a lousy form. It doesn't have to """not count""" somehow for deadpool to still be fun and worth seeing for lots of people.
