[Possible Spoiler] I really do hate..

okay, i'm not going to lie to you.

i didn't read all that, it's a bit too long but i skimmed.

the world is a bad bad place. i critique the show, the actual storylines because i like talking about the show. i like the show. but i do not care about backstage drama. unless it's like juicy gossip or something lol.

i don't bother to try and critique the eps and producers and play arm chair networks execs and claim to know what does or does not raise ratings.

believe it or not, executive producers favoritism isn't a cause i'm particularly passionate about. i. do. not. care. shit man, people are dying everywhere. have some perspective. this is a hobby of mine. not some values that i'm willing to stand up for.

i'm not okay with op calling marc a c word or any harassment or insult to real people over a tv show.

and if marc and wendy aren't concerned about being seen as fanboys why should i? they are happy with how they are behaving on social media, they are happy with their public image otherwise they would change. they haven't now have they? why should i care about whether other people think wendy or marc are fanboys?

i am making no claims about was is or is not a good way to promote a tv show. it's not my job to promote the show nor is it my job to advise someone on how promote a show. i have no idea how entertainment media works.

frankly i do not get why you're the one doing that. why do you always bring this up? i don't want to be rude and not reply to a long message that you put effort in. but do you always talk about fandom favoritism? if it upsets you that much, stay away from social media. i get you care about this but others don't. i do not care about it and you are only arguing with yourself. oh olicity fans claim this and olicity claim that but they are wrong bec x, y and z.

i haven't claimed anything!

i don't even pay that much attention to the ratings, i only know about constantine and this weeks because someone posted it on the sub. i don't even know which episodes got the best ratings and yet you spend a paragraph arguing with yourself. i'm not making claims, i do not care to track ratings. this is ridiculous. emily bett doesn't pay me, why in the world would i spend any time arguing with the producers and writers or other fans about her getting more screentime.

she had tons of screentime last episode and i didn't like most of the scenes she was in and thought she was being a bitch.

it's a fact. they like felicity and olicity. they like talking to their fans. it's been this for years. you or anyone complaining isn't going to change their minds. the only thing that is is if you outnumber and outmaneuver the olicity fans on social media. tptb don't care if you don't think they are being fair.

you're wasting your time arguing with me. because while i agree that the felicity and olicity are favored, like what happened to bamford or how both bamford and marc unfollow anti feliicty/ebr screen names publicly but when katie get criticized they don't do the same, it's really not my problem. even if it was, i couldn't do shit about it.

you want them to stop moonshine? do what the felicity stans do, don't bother arguing with people who disagree with you and spend your time on tumblr asking marc questions and on twitters and emails and tweeting at entertainment media. the olicity ship leaders wouldn't waste their time talking about this. they spell laurel's name lauren or call her ll so it's not picked up by the nielsen 's social media reports they are now doing. play their game then.

but i would say, it's really upsetting people on here when you take the one positive laurel and lauriver quote. esp those that don't follow social media, it gives a false impression. i get your excitement but it's a little disingenuous and it hurts people's feelings. that was my only point.
