I've been thinking on this all week

[riseupwithfists]

Does anyone know of a Western world-based source text where all or almost all of the character deaths or departures are the straight white men? In texts where the character pool is significantly more varied than just straight white men, obviously.

Does such a source text even fucking exist? And I'm not trying to sound snide or trolly, I just honestly don't know, though I have my suspicions.

Tonight I tried to keep my story from becoming a full on musical because that's a bit hard to make work in the written word, and I watched Community for the first time. It was cute!

I doubt it exists. For all the whining [by retarded writers who suck at their jobs anyway dudes] about how white men are are not welcome in Hollywood - something like 95% or higher are white men and they aren't going to start tossing their beloveds out the window any time soon.

I'd have to sit down and make a list of character deaths in DC to see percentages and I can't do that at work right now. :|

Character deaths in comics are just so commonplace that thinking about such a list breaks my brain! I would be interested in seeing how many white dude heroes get glorious resurrections compared to how many women/minorities get to have glorious resurrections.

I'll do it for DC when I get home if you really want to know. I'm sure scans_daily would help me if I have problems finding obscure stuff.

I would have to count manner of death as well - not just glorious resurrections, but meaningful deaths as well.

This could be interesting.
