I honestly don't know how representative the louder parts of fandom are, but I hope the show takes a big hit for this. It was just so incredibly tone-deaf. For all the issues that "Seeing Red" had, it at least acknowledged that both the characters and the fans were absolutely livid at what happened to Tara. That's a natural, valid reaction to loss. But The 100's writers doesn't even give us that, and they seem completely taken by surprise by the outcry. They were mining for tragedy, and they struck pure fury.
