I'm just going to say, if you don't agree with 1 of these examples there are many more that you can agree with. I had my own personal list that stopped me from watching C/W shows because I noticed a pattern with how they treated certain minority characters.

First time I felt uncomfortable, like really uncomfortable, was when they introduced the Heretics in TVD. The Heretics themselves? I had no problem with. They were a diverse group of characters that I was happy to get to know.

But then the minority Heretics got side-lined a lot, in favour of the white heterosexual characters. And it didn't go pass me that the only surviving Heretic is the white, able-bodied, straight woman.

Secondly, we get to The 100. And do I really need to go into detail with this? I remember the outrage at the time, I think most of you will all too. Another lesbian character (not just any lesbian character too, a main lesbian character) being killed off.

Third time was finding out R*verd*le had just erased Jughead's asexuality. This has happened at a time when asexuality isn't commonly shown in TV & film, & a lot of asexuals in media are treated as if they are a broken person who needs to be fixed (& you're not broken).
5/

And it wasn't as if the writers were homophobic or anti-LGBTQ, they decided to make Cheryl a lesbian (which isn't canon in the comics, unlike Jughead being asexual & aromantic) and gave her a girlfriend. It kind of suggests that the show doesn't think asexuality is valid.

The final nail in the coffin that made me stop watching C/W shows, that made me realise that this is becoming a pattern, was just how quickly Adam Alvaro was forgotten on Jane the Virgin.
7/

Adam was openly bisexual, Jane has to come to terms with this (and get over some biphobia), & she does. The storyline was handled well, but as soon as Jane gets over her biphobia Adam just disappears. His bisexuality was just a plot device for the heterosexual character.
8/

I'm not saying that every C/W show is equally as bad as the other, there are some great exceptions like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend that do treat their minority characters with care & tried to break multiple stereotypes within the show.
9/

Side Note: It's actually quite sad that it's the musical comedy show that does better representation than most of the C/W's drama related shows. Also "Gettin' Bi" became the bisexual anthem, that is just how brilliant this show is at times.
10/

Now, I do want to point out that I do not say this with malicious intent with this thread. I want the C/W to improve. This is pointing out the reasons why I had to let the network's shows go, even though I wanted to support a lot of the shows they had coming.
11/

To make a long thread short, I noticed a pattern & it made me uncomfortable. I came back years later to find the pattern kept getting worse instead of better. Minority characters either getting forgotten, side-lined, or killed off should not be award-winning representation.
