Sarcasm, but that flew over your head just like Laurel’s irrelevance on Arrow. It’s not sarcasm, y’all can’t seem to get through your thick skulls how psychotic so much of your fandom is. Y’all don’t realize how toxic Olicity became to Arrow. But you know what IS irrelevant? Your opinion on Laurel. Originally posted by yesiamarebelliousflower Thanks for letting me know what the true intent of MY post was. What was psychotic was the notion that Olicity fans could actually block the LL fandom from trending, that’s actually what your fandom was claiming while we were trending WE LOVE ARROW. Let me know if you want the receipts, cause I got plenty.

There’s a lot of toxicity on Arrow and Olicity ain’t one. You need receipts of people in the Olicity fandom purposely trying to trend that kind of stuff to block out Laurel fans AND of them bashing Laurel/Katie right before Laurel’s death? Cause I have plenty too. You love Arrow, thats all fine and dandy, but you REALLY believe that Olicity isn’t toxic? After that last episode, which was thought of by most viewers as an ultimate disgrace to Laurel in favor of Olicity, look at the like/dislike ratio for the next episode: People are angry at what this show has become because of Olicity. Ever since they put so much focus on Olicity the show’s quality nosedived. Olicity IS toxic until they stop making it the priority of the show. Yes please present your evidence. How did they block tweets or are you referring to counter trends? Well that’s not blocking anything that’s going on the offence and tweeting something else you want to trend. Twitter doesn’t choose which trends to block because a specific fanbase asks them to. Just because you or others don’t like Olicity doesn’t make it toxic, do you even understand what the definition of toxic is? People and their fake outrage can go and dislike all the arrow videos and episodes they want, it won’t change anything. Next episode’s ratings will certainly be lower due to a variety of factors I.e 3 week hiatus, some ppl actually stopping for laurel’s sake (probably in the 100’s)and it being preempted in the Chicago market for that week. But Arrow will pick up during May sweeps like it does every year. There was more outrage over Lexa’s death and what major impact has it had on the 100? That show is still serving and hasn’t seen a significant drop in rating and Lexa’s death trended WW for an entire week. So you can dismiss me with the notion that the general even gives a damn about Laurel’s death. Did I say block tweets? No, I said block OUT tweets. As in trying to BLOCK OUT tweets, as in DROWN OUT Laurel fans. Clearly, it seems like you’re the one who doesn’t know what toxic means, so let me define it for you: when someone says something is toxic to a show, it means it diminishes/ruins the show’s quality. Clearly you and most of the other Olicity fans are too far up Marc Guggenheim’s behind to know that them focusing so much on Olicity this season HAS made the show decline in quality. “Fake outrage” you do realize this is because they are frustrated with the show’s quality right? “100′s”? Go check the #Arrow and #NoLaurelNoArrow tags on Twitter to see just how many people are quitting; you just don’t see it because all you’re looking at is Olicity. Are you really trying to say that because it didn’t trend like Lexa’s death it isn’t as significant? http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2016/03/31/even-a-good-episode-of-arrow-is-still-dragged-down-by-olicity-nonsense/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#309efa2171c5

“General audience doesn’t care”? It’s called being counter active, you can’t drown out tweets if a lot of people are tweeting it. Matter of fact majority of those #NoLaurelNoArrow tweets came from Brazil and UK thus why it didn’t contribute to US or WW trends. And guess where majority of the audience is during live tweeting? That’s right the US. So if you can’t trend in the US than your tag has no effect or power. And for the 100th time, what you call bots are actual accounts that people create for the purpose of trending so they don’t inundate their followers with too many tweets. Those accounts still require active email address and phone numbers,

So the most anyone could even create is probably 2-3. If someone has a 100 accounts than all power to them, this isn’t something exclusive to the Olicity fandom. Also thanks for attaching articles written by community writers, just because it hosted by Forbes doesn’t make his opinion anymore valid than any other site that praises Olicity. Also I take no interest in reading from a person who doesn’t watch the show properly and who actually claimed last season that Sara was killed to further Olicity. Likewise, I know just as much GA members who will now come back to Arrow because Laurel is no longer on the show. Only time will tell how this effects Arrow’s ratings. You absolutely can drown them out if they appear on the same timeline or in the same tag. What reference do you have to the origin of the #NoLaurelNoArrow tweets? You’re telling me you went through all of the #NoLaurelNoArrow tag and calculated the percentage of those that originated outside the US? Doubt it. And have you never heard of a live stream? You seem to underestimate those who watch it live through streaming. The power of viewership numbers is more powerful than tags on Twitter will ever be. Is that statement about bots supposed to help your argument? Because you just said that those bots were created by REAL PEOPLE just trying to trend “WE LOVE ARROW” through spam. Just because it is written by a community writer does not make his point any more invalid. He is a viewer and fan (well, former, it seems) just like everyone else that watches. He, along with many other people, are expressing their frustration with Olicity. And who are you to say someone doesn’t “watch a show properly” when you are so focused on Olicity you can’t see the shows ACTUAL problems, which pretty much all have to do with OLICITY? Some viewers are quitting now, some are quitting after next episode, and some are quitting after the end of the season, so we will see how those numbers compare. What you don’t understand is that you can’t stop something from trending, all you need is unique tweets from unique accounts. If the same number of people are tweeting the same thing consistently then it won’t trend. Twitter is smart and actually won’t accept spam as unique tweets.

It’s easy to check using hashtag analytics. Here is this one in particular from an account you clearly frequent. https://twitter.com/olicitymafia/status/718579584212549632 Yes there was a lot of issues with the show and Olicity isn’t one of them, but we’re glad the writers seem to have fixed one of its issues and that was too many masks on the show. We can actually look forward to less people on the field now and Oliver doesn’t have to sit back while all the fighters get air time. Both Diggle and Thea have something to contribute and the team can clearly do without the canary cry because that’s all Laurel really offered anyways. Olicity fans know more about the show than the supposed haters, I mean we all saw the signs of laurel’s death but y'all wanted to stay in the dark about it. We review and analyze all aspects of the show not just the things that involve our faves If laurel’s death has an impact on the ratings it’ll be minor and ratings will pick right back up. I mean Roy and Sara were more of fan favourites and them leaving the show had no impact on the ratings. Also I thought LL fans only watched her 5 mins scenes on YouTube anyways so how will this change anything.

People are sad about it but this isn’t going to stop them from continuing to watch the show at least not for those who came to watch the story of the Green Arrow.

What YOU’RE not understanding is that I said BLOCK OUT not BLOCK FROM TRENDING. “Clearly frequent” is that supposed to even be funny? They were only in one of my screenshots, which I took for those receipts, you know, the same ones YOU insisted on seeing.

I honestly cannot believe so many of you people don’t think Olicity is a problem right now. I don’t have a problem with them as a couple (if you think I’m a hardcore Lauriver shipper, no), my problem (like 95% of people complaining similarly) is that it is taking up ALL THE SCREEN TIME. There is no time for the other characters to develop their own plots because all they talk about is Olicity. Laurel was ON HER DEATH BED talking about Olicity. She could have spoken about Sara, her father, even Tommy, but nope, they just couldn’t resist not having Olicity in Laurel’s DYING WORDS. Absolutely disgusting (and yes, many, MANY people agree this was wrong. Need receipts of those too?). They did not need to kill ANYONE to decrease the masks. Laurel could have been DA, Diggle could have retired to make sure he is there for his daughter, Thea (along with any of the aforementioned characters) could have easily had a plot that took her off the field (whether it be temporary or permanent). What exactly did Thea and Diggle provide to the team that was more important than Laurel? Thea shoots arrows and Diggle shoots a gun. Oliver can do both of these things with ease. When did Oliver have such experience with using a sonic device? Not to say that he couldn’t get the experience, but at least Laurel’s Canary Cry is unique to the Black Canary.

KIDDING

We were posting about it ever since the set pics leaked. When was that? FEBRUARY.

You do realize how hypocritical you sound when you say that we only focus on our faves right? Because you are so BLINDED by Olicity you literally cannot see that’s where the problem lies. They ruined Felicity’s character (don’t even try to argue that, she became super whiny, annoying, and selfish this season and even last season) and ceased the development of other plot lines to put all focus on Olicity.

I think you are severely underrating just how many people are upset about this. You don’t realize just how many comic book fans are watching and how they are done because of how disgraceful Arrow has been to the Black Canary. Yes, Sara and Roy were certainly fan favorites, but Sara’s death was still when Arrow was at its peak in terms of quality, and Roy was brought back almost immediately after his “death”. Laurel’s death was the nail in the coffin for all these people after how much they screwed up.
