Every time minorities on tv get killed off, showrunner keep trying to make excuses by telling us they died to ‘further the story’. 

What they’re really saying is “This was never your story.

You’re not the hero. 

Even if you thought you were. 

Even if you thought you could be.

It’s never going to be about your struggle, your journey, your feelings, your triumphs. 

It’s never going to be about that, because you don’t matter enough to have that. 

You’re just a tool in someone else’s life. 

You’re disposable.

We can lose you, and things will be better off for it. 

It was never your story, and it never will be.”

And, again, if you can’t understand how damaging it is for marginalized people to constantly have that be the message they get from media creators, idk what else to say, really.

say it.
AGAIN.
