\\\"Ah, but BuryYourGays doesn\\\'t require that their sexuality be explicitly confirmed\\\" That\\\'s not what the definition on the page says. It seems that gays have to have a higher death count than straight characters or that they are killed because of their \\\"gay ways\\\" or something like that. Her almost being killed had everything to do with her being a police officer and nothing to do with her being gay (which was never hinted at or shown previously on the show). The fact that Turpin is killed later seems to make it more Bury Your Police Officers than BuryYourGays.

\\\"Tropes are created by the writers of the show, by what does or doesn\\\'t happen, not by what viewers take away from the show.\\\" I can accept that for a trope played straight but I think the audience needs to be in on it (or that there needs to at least some kind of text from the story to support it) for it to be a subversion.

I just think it\\\'s too much of a stretch.
