Date: 2011-02-25 09:33 pm (UTC)its whenever a character is killed (as it says above) in a particularly greusome manner JUST so the Hero has motivation to act.
thats not the same thing as just character death.
character death happens. i can accept that. but when a character is killed as a throw away or used as merely a device, and then never again referenced unless it is to "shock" the hero (ie, not dealing with the grief process), then i call foul. regardless or race, gender, or orientation.
As a minority myself i don't think minorities should be a "sacred cow" if you are going to kill a character, any character, make the death count for something. otherwise i concider it a cheap, fridging death
