Crossbow arrows go through the eyes? seriously?
If you haven't realized it by now, there is a notorious metaphor in popular culture (mainly on TV) called "Buying Your Homosexuals". This is basically how it sounds, and it comes down to one thing in particular: Queer characters suffer. Throughout the history of television, for some reason, communities have suffered more deaths and torture than heterosexuals, and most of the time for no reason. Yes, as more and more queer writers dominate and tell queer stories (this is really a concept!), true performance has made great strides in recent years, but of course, the distance to "bury your gays" There is still a long way to go' The metaphor is dead, well, buried. Check out our list of LGBTQ roles below, they deserve better and better. Make sure you have some tissues or handkerchiefs, anyway, because some of these deaths will hardly happen again. (Also, this list is not comprehensive, it will be updated from time to time, please let us know which unfortunate fictional queer souls should also be here).
As one of the most heartbreaking TV shows ever, Pose's season 2 episode 4 found Candy (Angelica Ross) brutally murdered in a motel room. At her funeral, Candy's soul returned to talk to the people she left behind, including Billy Porter's Pray Tell, Indya Moore's Angel Evangelista, and her parents, who had had a strained relationship with her during her transition. In the end, Candy found peace in the dance hall in the clouds, and sang to the house the love he never knew. For people watching at home, there is no dry eye in this land. Look, we understand why creator Ryan Murphy chose to join this storyline to reflect transgender women—especially black transgender women—and the tragic statistics of their murders in the United States. However, it still hurts. Thanks to Rose's wonderful performance, Candy has become one of Pose's most beloved characters, and, like her ballroom sisters, deserves the happiest ending.
Has anyone heard of Shirley Crow’s "I Will Believe" without tears spontaneously? In the second installment of Mike Flanagan's "Haunted" series, Victoria Pedretti plays Dani, a young au pair employed in a ghastly Look after two children in Sen's country house. After she arrived, she began to see hostile ghosts insisting on demands-spoiler alert! ! ! -Troubled places. Although Bly Manor is as creepy as its predecessor, Hill House, the core of the series is a love story. As the mini-series progressed, Dany fell in love with Jamie (Amelia Eve), the capable gardener of Bligh Manor. Since there is no homophobia in the storyline, this has been widely received by critics and audiences. Praise. (The background of the play is set in the 80s, so homophobia is expected.) Sadly, their relationship ended in a tragic ending. After five years of harmony, Dany returned to Bligh Manor and stayed on the lake. Drowning in the middle to prevent Viola (Ghoul) from harming Jamie. After all, Jamie has gone through this series-recovering from her predecessor, taking care of those painful annoying children and being preyed by Viola-should she really go out like this?
We will never forgive what the guy sitting in the damn walking dead writer's room did to Dennis. no way! As one of the most kind characters in all 11 seasons of the zombie drama, Dennis (Merrit Weaver), a doctor in the Alexandria safe zone, was murdered by the savior member Dwight in a dialogue. Dwight tried to kill Darryl and caused him to catch fire and use a crossbow arrow. Shot through Dennis' right eye. Seriously, why? This need not happen at all. Like most of the characters on the list, the writer's handling of Dennis has received overwhelmingly negative reviews online, especially since her flourishing with Tara (Alana Masterson) has provided us with a little purity. We understand that this is a zombie apocalypse, people's throats will be torn into pieces, and other people's eyes will be shot with arrows, but Dennis' death feels very cruel. The ratings have plummeted in recent years, so...justice?
Look, by including Jenny Schecter in this list, we are not praising her as some kind of saint. The fact is, she is just as evil and narcissistic as them. However-you see it, don't you? – Jenny (Mia Kirshner) is one of the most important characters in the original version of The L Word, and her hostile nature is one of the main reasons for the adjustment. What is a TV show without any conflict, right? right? ! Without her, everything would be rainbow and shit. In the 2009 finale, the iconic villain played by Kershner was found dead in Betty and Tina's swimming pool. beautiful. One of the other characters killed her and felt... well, it wasn't shocking, and it seemed to be a suitable ending for her arc. However, when the series returned for the Q generation, it was revealed that Jenny "died by suicide" ten years ago. This news was widely opposed by fans, who believed it was a harm to the character. Kirshner also agreed, telling fans on Twitter: "No. Jenny is not dead. This is not a story about a survivor of sexual violence. This is not a story that can be wrapped in a bow. So no, she is not dead." The star who talked about her history of sexual harassment added: "I heard about her "suicide" today and felt sick because that was how they dismissed the story of the sexual assault survivor. So no. She did not die."
The metaphor of "Bury Your Gays" is still alive in the fourth season of The 100. The post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama from CW has one of the most popular romantic romance films. The protagonists are Clark Griffin (Eliza Taylor) and Lexar (Alycia Debnam-Carey) until the latter's death in Titus hand. Lexa is one of the most powerful fighters in the series and one of the characters with one of the most developed arcs, so her murder has encountered various social media-led activities such as "Lexa deserves better" and " LGBT fans deserve “better” and death threats against show hosts. Queer viewers, especially queer women, accused the series of killing Lexa because she was a lesbian, claiming that this reinforces television and film Lesbian couples cannot have the idea of a happy ending, because eventually one of them will die.

Played by Pedro Pascal of The Mandalorian, Oberon Martel made his first appearance in the fourth season of Game of Thrones in revenge for Lannister's role in the deaths of his sister, nephew and niece. He later asked for a battle trial to defend Tyrion, where he faced his sister's rapist and murderer Gregor Clegane. Although he had the upper hand in the entire battle, Oberon refused to kill Gregor and asked him to confess his crime, and the order came from Tywin Lannister. The distracted Gregor seized the opportunity to continue knocking Oberon's teeth and gouging out his eyes, while confessing to rape and murder of his sister.

Terrible way to end his ending?
Are there any characters in "Orange New Negro" that are as beloved as Pushi Washington? During the first four seasons of the long-broadcast Netflix series, the character won a loyal following due to her passionate and energetic manner and Samira Wiley’s acclaimed performance. Therefore, when Poussey was suffocated and killed by a correctional officer in Season 4, the audience's reaction was anger and sadness. Although her death was one of the most disruptive television moments in recent history, the actors and staff expressed the need to express racial tensions in the prison system and how black communities often lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement officials. Series creator Jenji Kohan defended her decision to kill Poussey in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying: "I hate losing Samira, but her death will have the greatest impact. She is very satisfied with it. She said,'I I get it, I get it. Many other actors became very nervous and angry, like, "How can you treat her like this?" "It's like,'I won't do this to her. This is the journey this character has gone through. This is where the show is going.'"
Oh Tara. In the three seasons of Joss Whedon’s Sarah Michelle Gellar’s critically acclaimed fantasy drama, the fan’s favorite witch (Amber Benson), with Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan)'s love affair played an indispensable role in the Scooby Doo Gang, and the couple became the first long-term lesbian romance in TV history. She also helped Buffy thwart major threats, such as Adam, Initiative, and-even though she really sucked out her damned brain-Glory. After a brief breakup in season six (due to Willow's addiction to magic), Tara and Willow reconciled and made love at Summers's house. Frustratingly, their relationship was short-lived, because Tara was subsequently shot by Warren Mills with a stray bullet, causing Willow to use black magic again. Since Tara's death came shortly after she and Willow lay naked in bed, the audience accused creator J*ss W*edon of implying that lesbians should be sentenced to death. In any case, Tara deserves better. Is this also an insult for Willow and Kennedy to leave her death so quickly?
