Becuase ost of the time people are mad at a character being killed off, it’s because most of the time they either get killed off as a cheap way to increase “drama2, or they end up being killed in a way which comes across as unceremonious or unfitting.
People were mad at Joel dying in TLOU2 becuase they spent the whole first game playing as him and thus they had some sort of emotional/personal connection with him, and seeing him get offed not even halfway through the game by a completely new character that not a lot of people like is obviously not going to make people happy.
And as for the “bury your gay” trope, people DO have good reason to be made at that since in fiction, LGBT characters (especially ones made not by people in the LGBT community) have a bad history of constantly being shafted and existing only to be killed off just for a poor attempt at drama, along with the history of the token gay character always being the one to die and not making it to the end of the story.
And with the Voltron example, people where mad at it becuase the creators promised that there would be more LGBT representation, they introduced the boyfriend of one of the main characters, only for him to only appear in one episode and then immediately be killed off an episode later just to try and twist the knife and create more “drama” for the main character, which a lot of fans were not happy about sine they felt like they got baited.
