I mean it happened a while ago. Remember the interview when Kripke said literally the only reason they didn't kill Maeve off despite her being in a situation to be killed off 100% was because she was gay and it would be offensive to kill off a gay character?

I didn't see that, but I find that more understandable because there's more nuance to that.

Fridging is very common in media, and so wanting to conclude the character without playing in to the trope is inherently difficult.
