It's a striking video, isn't it? I don't see it so much as a dismissal of Supernatural (although some people do; the creators are "fans who question") as much as a very direct example of how all this stuff can add up. I would certainly be interested in seeing a vid of all the male deaths/demons as a point of contrast.
One of the things that the creators said, actually, was that you could use many TV shows as the source and achieve something similar. And I think what's problematic is the jump to "depiction of women dying is bad!" I don't think that jump is necessary. But it did get me thinking about things I've written or plan to write, and whether distribution of depiction of suffering is fair across the genders, all things considered. 1) And there are a lot of things to consider. 2) And the creator's self-awareness, I think, is huge.
