Another nonny here jumping in. I can't be bothered to register for an account for answerin your drivel, but my tumblr blog is msdistress, if y.ou wish to continue the discussion there. Also, since I am a female, according to you I have every right to complain about the writers killing off female characters and/or narratively sidelining them.

If the story goes as it goes, how the HELL did the twins who killed Boyd, another POC recurring character on camera, earn redemption? They did absolutely nothing, narratively-wise, to earn it.

Also, Deucalion killed Brayden (WOC) and Ennis on camera. As the leader of the Alpha pack, he is also directly responsible for the deaths of Erica (WOC) and everyone else the Alpha pack killed (staff at the hospital, Kali's pack, Ennis' pack, the twins' pack, etc.). Yet he walks away with his sight restored, with a rap on his knuckles, and a stern reprimand to not to do it again. Why exactly was he let go? What did he do narratively-wise to earn redemption? Absolutely nothing, yet he walks away.

Meanwhile we have Kali (WOC), who was amazing (I wished we had seen her more instead of bare glimpses). She killed Jennifer's/Julia's pack and maimed her. However, narratively-wise, she has not done anything woruse than Deucalion or the twins. Why was it narratively necessary to kill her off, while letting her male accomplices walk away scott free?

Julia/Jennifer is driven by revenge. She wants to stop the alpha pack with any means necessay. If that means killing innocents, so be it. While she is a murderer, her motives are 'purer' than Deucalion's, because she is not amassing power for its own sake, she is gathering it for a specific purpose; to stop the alpha pack from killing anyone again. Meanwhile Deucalion gathers alphas for his pack because it amuses or entertains him. encouraging them to kill their packs/families and killing anyone who gets in the way. Jennifer's/Julia's motive is revenge while Deucalion is a psychopath. Narratively Jennifer/Julia is more redeemable than Deucalion, yet she is punished by the narrative while Deucalion is redeemed.

I want you to explain to me how, narratively speaking, did Deucalion and the twins earn redemption when Kali and Jennifer/Julia did not. What did they do, apart from being white men, to be forgiven their crimes? I am really curious to hear your rationalization. And no, 'because the story demanded it' doesn't cut it, nor does 'the'story is a sacred animal and cannot be disturbed'. Deucalion, the twins, Kali, Julia/Jennifer were all set up to be irredeemable from the start of the season, yet, inexplicably, all white male baddies (apart from Ennis) are narratively forgiven while the women are not. The narrative demanded that they'd all be punished for their deeds, yet the story failed to do so.

Also, maybe people didn't complain about the trend of killing female/POC characters on the first or the second season because it was not apparent then? Ever thought about that? Just because the concern was raised on the third season DOESNT MAKE IT ANY LESS VALID.
