Did you guys see this yet? Apparently two people sat down and counted out all the deaths that occurred throughout all 6 seasons of SPN to prove whether or not there's really been a gender bias. In short, if it's really the place that Women Characters Go to Die. There are fancy pie charts and everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PMM, so far my (not) massive number of art betas have gotten back to me with things like overdraws to show where my lines are wrong, alternate colour schemes, reference pictures, discussions of mood and contrast, etc.
I'm having a particularly dicey convo right now with someone I stan really hard, because it's a "how do I colour spare like you do?" and maybe I just can't, you know? Failing at that will be shameful. But it seems more my style than some of the more involved work I see.
I'm glad someone did that pie chart, because my attempt do do it with S3 floundered with Jus in Bello. But it was apparent that more guys were dying than women even at that point.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Major kudos to the pie chart makers.

Did the people also break it down by recurring survival rate? Or say, take a look at the framing of the deaths (sexualized vs non-sexualized, etc). Look, I love the show, but it does have some serious gender twitch factors, esp. in the later seasons. It's not just about raw numbers.

Yes, Plei. There's a whole explanation, and they analyzed the numbers a few different ways, including sexualization.

I looked at the comments and explanations, and they explicitly didn't do sexualization (see the comment thread with Sockkpuppet/Lum and the charters -- and I trust Lum's visual eye on this pretty much completely). There are some good critiques in the comments, actually, and areas suggested for futher explanation.

They talk about sexualization of some of the major female characters, though.

What's with all the knotting fic all of a sudden? Where they're not werewolves but there are alphas and ... knots. This is new, right? All of a sudden it's everywhere. Is it other fandoms, too?
