the women in the fridge, happens when it's simply done poorly, and completely out of the blue. Nope. That's not part of the definition. If you wanna redefine the term for your own sake, go ahead, but don't complain about people for applying the original definition.
No one called out fridge when Ultimate Peter Parker died It's funny I've had this discussion before. I'm not very interested in having it again actually. They get tiresome those discussions. Ultimate Peter Parker is neither female nor minority, he died in a story called "The Death of Spider-man". It's was all about HIM and how it was tragic and terrible for HIM to die. It least from what I've seen of it in scans. Yeah, they use it to launch Miles after that, but the focus is still very different.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
