Have you been following the LGBTFansDeserveBetter and WeDeservedBetter movement? I'm watching it unfold, fans upset over Female Queer characters being killed just for shock value and being considered "representation" and I can't help but see the parallels

I have been. 

I think it’s great. These tropes, these things where we keep seeing the same cliches over and over again with lgbtq characters, they do not happen in a vacuum. Someone makes those decisions. They may not realize they are part of a bigger trend that is shitty at its core, but that doesn’t change the fact that they could have avoided these tropes entirely if they cared enough to look into them.

We all mess up, every creator, every creative person. I like this movement because they want things to be better. Good for them, they have my absolute support forever.
