You may **t realize it, but on TV lesbian and bi***ual characters have a tendency to get killed off*more frequently than other types of characters (http://www.autostraddle.com/all-65-dead-lesbian-and-bi***ual-characters-on-tv-and-how-they-died-312315/). In many cases, the offing happens after a happy or positive moment — just to make things sting a little more.

While The 100 (http://mashable.com/category/the-100/)*is **rmally hailed for being one of the more progressive shows on television, it seemed to embrace that same old trope a couple weeks ago. And **w, executive producer Jason Rothenberg has finally spoken out about the incident.
