There is this TV show called Arrow. It is based on the comic book Green Arrow. You may have possibly heard of it.

And a number of viewers have very, very strong feelings about whether the lead character, Oliver Queen, should be in a romantic relationship with the character Felicity (Olicity). Or stay true to his now very dead girlfriend Laurel, the Black Canary. And fans are divided as to whether Felicity killed the show or is the point of the show. There has also been criticism over whether Felicity cries too much on the show, and criticism of that criticism as being insensitive regarding people who have suffered PTSD.

So when the Arrow Writers Room account asked

They got plenty of art, including,

Showing the cast with a living Black Canary and a crying, weeping Felicity. Which the account, run by the writers of the show, retweeted.

Oh dear.

This is absolute insulting. What's wrong with both of you for submitting and then RT-ing? — J //🎵 These are bullet holes and I love you🎶 (@ElisaQueen) December 2, 2016

I mean…I guess having PTSD and being upset is funny/art? (It's not.) The RT is a bit much, no? — Shannon *WASH YOUR HANDS* (@jodfoster) December 2, 2016

you retweeted this…wow I hope Emily doesn't see this — Emily(Ameal)♐ (@smoaksantiago99) December 2, 2016

wow I forgot that Felicity is the only one who cries. pic.twitter.com/THT5e7pZpe — Emily(Ameal)♐ (@smoaksantiago99) December 2, 2016

this is so disrespectful.. Do you mind being more professional? — barbaras (@SASSYTIII) December 2, 2016

wow. This is gross. Apparently mocking women for crying when they go through hardships is fun. Disgusting. — Pallavi -Bigger than the friggin' universe (@themediumplace) December 2, 2016

why are you guys retweeting this???? Omg this isn't right — EmxcOlicity (@katie_KTI) December 2, 2016

What is this monstrosity? Seriously.. you put this up? — Lacey Knowles (@knowleslacey1) December 2, 2016

pathetic and arrowwriters even more — alex (@galiusha3) December 2, 2016

disgusting that you RT'd this. — Amber #notmygovernment #fuckthetories (@reallyreally_) December 2, 2016

Soon enough, @ArrowWriters had a change of heart.

We sincerely apologize for retweeting an offensive piece of Fan Art earlier – it was done accidentally. — #ARROWforever (@ARROWwriters) December 2, 2016

Did that make everything better? For some…

Thank you for apologizing. That means a lot. — Pep (@PepperDempsey) December 2, 2016

thank you for that. An "I'm sorry!" Goes a long way sometimes. — Smoak & Arrow (@SmoaknArrow) December 2, 2016

Thank you. Mistakes happen and I have a lot of respect for you guys in coming forward like this and apologizing. Appreciate it — Shannon *WASH YOUR HANDS* (@jodfoster) December 2, 2016

Others wanted more

.@ARROWwriters so you'll apologize for a slightly offensive fan art but not for a racially offensive episode? (409) yeh. You guys are heroes — ∞ ➰ Elijah @🏡➰ ∞ pinned tweet (@elijahyab) December 2, 2016

And others wanted… less.

Let me guess it was the one of Felicity balling her eyes out. Over sensitive people shouldn't look at art if they are offended — Talia Al Ghul Deserves Better! #StopTheTaliaHate (@DemonsDaughter) December 2, 2016

All I can say is… it's tough to work the Arrow writers social media feed…
