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.

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.
