When DEVELOPED (key word here) female characters are such a rarity (as is the case in television and most everything) yes, killing them off is bad because you've lost a lot more than killing off a male character. Most male characters are actually paid attention to and fleshed out

When people learn how to make better female characters, then you can start killing them off

Women are used to a trope called the expendable man, because the idea of men dying for society and family (in army, in dangerous jobs) is deep rooted. On the other hand women life is traditionally precious, second only to children. Fiction always mirrored these views.

Women take this privilege they have over men for granted, but with feminism influencing society, popular culture tend to treat women as a little more bit disposable.

So no, that would be the sign of sexism fading from fiction.

Its actually not a problem. When you have a group of 10 people vs a group of 1000000 people, even a single death will make it seem like the group of 10 is being unfairly targeted when the exact same amount of people have been killed in both groups.

Because there are so few of them, each death inflates that bullshit murder rate to make it seem like there's some epidemic.

They will only get rights when an Ultra Elite class of society figures out it must divide the lower classes even along sex lines, in order to maintain power.

They have to have a Central Bank like the Federal Reserve which can print money by Fiat (by Decree) first or they can't raise enough money to fund social dysfunction. They also need mass media control. (The internet threw the real life ones for a loop. It is their next target.)

Then if the counter social movement gets too tough, they cut it's funding and use the press to demonize it or ignore it.

Nah her sudden "oh btw i'm dead" at the end of the episode is probably just fake because Darhk would go after her to get back at her dad for betraying him. Not enough sentimental flashbacks and other cheesy shit for that to have been a real death of a major character.

Everyone knows it's the WAY a character is killed off, not who the character was.

It just so happens that women and gay characters are killed off in the same way in practically every form of entertainment. It's a tired trope at this point and reflects on the quality of the show, not gender politics.

Of course not.

It's just an irrelevant study that VAGUELY does not contradict Liberal Dogma, so naturally retarded progressivist propagandists start loudly proclaiming "SCIENCE HAS PROVEN US RIGHT, REPUBLITARDS BTFO" like they do every six months.

They can never actually back this up when confronted about it.
If you actually talk to a Liberal cultist and ask them "Please explain how this scientific experiment proves that magic gay-genes or tranny-genes exist", they evade and/or drop the conversation.

These articles ONLY work for propaganda that the target-audience takes at face-value and just accepts as true without questioning it.

Probably a lot, but I KNOW you can recognize the difference between killing off one of many male characters in a stupid way versus killing off, say, the main female love interest who makes up one of only two or three speaking female characters in the whole show for the sole purpose of motivating the hero.

Shitty tv is shitty tv, no matter what gender the character is that is lazily written off. The only thing is that it happens disproportionately to female characters.
