Okay listen I’m gay af and want fair representation in media as much as anyone else BUT fair representation LITERALLY MEANS LGBT+ gets killed off, they get gravely injured, they have shitty things happen to them, they have unfair lives, they have troubles, they have all the bad straight actors/actresses get. But we also get the god things too but that’s not gonna happen to every LGBT+ character. An LGBT+ character doesn’t have the right to have their character have everything good happen to them, to avoid death, to be immune to horrible things. They don’t get to have a perfect character every time. Fair representation means we get fucked over and die too.

You may say something like “BUT THIS HAPPENS TO ALL OF A THE CHARACTERS!” No it doesn’t. There’s plenty of shows and movies where LGBT+ characters are alive and well but there are also shows where they’re dead and fucked over but that’s what fair representation is.

Straight actors get their characters treated like this ALL THE TIME as well. Straight actors characters don’t always have happy lives or never die that shit literally happens to them ALL. THE. TIME.

You want LGBT+ representation? Well guess the fuck what? Our characters sometimes gotta die and be miserable too. And yes it’s gonna happen often just like it does to straight characters. We are not exempt from death and tragedy in shows and movies just because we happen to have and LGBT+ label on the character.
