omg I saw that the other day and I got so angry over it. That flowchart is IMPOSSIBLE to actually... not get a "stereotype" on. Apparently all females are stereotypes of something.
I mean... I can understand that some female deaths in literature and television, IN SOME AREAS, have been merely to advance the plot/feelings/ect of the male character... but to say that ALL FEMALES who die are just FRIDGE STUFFING and immediately written off and "weak" is so fucking pathetic and wrong.
SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE DIE. IT'S THE GENERAL PREMISE OF EVERYONE'S STORIES. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. It's not a threat, it's not something evil. You Are Going To Die.
And yes, sometimes many authors do terrible things with that premise, but DUDE. It doesn't translate to 'if a woman dies then everything she might have accomplished during her life and what she fought for and who she stood for is meaningless'.
