Indeed! Fanfic writers are not fandom's bitches either. Except that copperbadge is totally my bitch, especially when I win a bet against him. (I tease, Sam! I tease XD)
OH COMICS FANDOM. Let me tell you though, I don't think comic character deaths would be as relevant. Characters have died and come back to life multiple times in American comics, the CANON is so full of crack because American mainstream comics is a FRANCHISE. There may be good stories within the franchise but at the end of the day, it's true purpose is to earn money for the company. Bruce Wayne is currently considered dead in Detective Comics but that's not going to last long and all the fans know that he's totally coming back. Superman was dying from apoptosis, but that's gone too. You can't kill off the main characters in a franchise because the money will stop.
