the magicians

I haven't been following this show anymore, but can somebody explain what happened? Everybody on tumblr is mad?

https://cleolinda.dreamwidth.org/1062004.html here's a general essay on it, tl;dr Kill All Ye Gays strikes again

Thanks. Welp, time to cross that off my finish watching list.

Re: the magicians

Shit, I'm mad about it and I don't even go here!

Re: the magicians

[(Anonymous)]

TBH I'm kind of surprised people on here are mad about it?

F!S is slowly turning into Tumblr. Just look at any thread about "pedophilia." Users here used to know it was crazy to think shipping fictional kids meant you want to fuck real kids. Now... welp.

As for BYG, I'd be more pissed with the other option, a moratorium on any gay character dying from now on. The onus should be on writing more gay characters so we have more that live, not to suddenly imply that gay people can't die and slap everyone who's lost a gay partner or loved one on the face.

Yep, that's more what I was expecting

Anon ayrt's replying to: eat a dick. When the producers are busy stroking off about how daring and innovative it is to kill off the "white male protagonist" and deliberately ignoring the "mentally ill queer" bit, folks are allowed to get their mad on. You can go wrap yourself right up in that smug superiority and vanish up your own arse.

Ayrt - I don't like it when suicide is used as a cheap plot device to get rid of characters the writers "don't know what to do with", nor when creators smugly pat themselves on the back about how much more """"realistic"""" it is to have the depressed character realise that yeah, their friends will totally he better off without them!!! :D

And if you think thats Tumblr virtue signalling bullshit, you can stick it.

Re: the magicians

I'm betting the writers never said anything about realism and you're making baseless assumptions about their intent, as tends to be the case when internet activists talk about patting oneself on the back.

Executive Producers' official statement:
We want The Magicians to visit strange and fascinating new places, and we know we can’t get there by treading the same garden path others have before us. So, we did the thing you’re not supposed to do — we killed the character who’s supposed to be ‘safe.’ In real life, none of us are safe.

Because producers killing off queer folk is a huge fucking twist, I'm pretty sure is the message there. Such shocking. Much innovative. Wow.

I loved S3, but hadn't been watching S4.

This article convinced me not to bother.
