Episode 14: Who Left This Body in the Fridge

This episode we continue down the line of talking about wanting characters with agency. This time we cover the trope of fridging, in which a female character is brutalized in order to forward the plot or motivate a mail character. This term was coined after Green Lantern #54 in which green lanterns girlfriend was killed and stuffed into a fridge in order to create a plot point and motivation against a villain. This same idea continues in media today, with the murdering or kidnapping of female characters.
