#like ppl on this site will watch my own private Idaho and be like ‘why does all queer stuff have to be depressing 😒

Ok but someone give me a single example of a work of media with a large fandom that ended in a justifiably sad/bittersweet way without a large portion of the fandom crying “bad writing.” It’s a crying-wolf situation, it just becomes meaningless background noise after a while how often something that made everyone sad was a “horrible ending.”

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.
