IT’S NOT FUCKING QUEER BAITING. THEY DIDN’T KILL HER OFF BECAUSE SHE WAS QUEER FFS. IT WAS PART OF THE PLOT. JESUS CHRIST.

It’s lesbophobic because they drew in queer viewers to get their ratings up, and when they were happy they kicked the chair from under us. 
It’s lesbophobic because they knew Lexa’s important as a lesbian character and the effect she has, but they killed her anyway. 
It’s lesbophobic because ever since she was introduced, Lexa revealed she has never been happy since Costia’s death, and as soon as she is finally happy and at peace with her emotions, she is killed. 
It’s lesbophobic because whilst Finn’s death was shocking it made sense, whilst Lexa’s didn’t. 
It’s lesbophobic because she was known as a great warrior, she was killed by a stray bullet, and this would never happen to a straight character. 
It’s lesbophobic because as soon as she served her purpose of fucking the main character and drawing in millions of viewers, she was killed. 
It’s lesbophobic because there’s always been a history dating back hundreds of years of gay characters being killed off, the writers knew this and did it anyway. 
It’s lesbophobic because Jasper survived a spear through the chest, but Lexa couldn’t survive a bullet in the stomach. 
It’s lesbophobic because queer girls don’t get happy endings.

I swear fealty to you, Lexa kom Trikru. May I never love a character as much as I loved you.
