Oh people on twitter refer to him quite openly as fratboy dudebro. If I recall correctly, one of his die hard fans picked a fight with someone calling him dudebro ... It was quite entertaining. More entertaining than the show tbh. 

Fan talk alert!

Thanks @way2interested, I couldn't remember when the souffle leaked, but I loved it.

On another note I just saw this winner of GIF from Mindy hit my twitter feed which basically sums up how I feel about SA a lot of the times...

Sad thing? that is how I feel about some of the guys i've shortly dated.. that is why we shortly dated.

After reading an article about where kids' pics taken from Facebook ended up I'm baffled SA shares everything about his kid, even a video where she is naked. Especially because he can reach millions of people and the more people the greater the risk. Setting some boundaries wouldn't be a bad thing.

Nerd HQ (with Zachary Levi) is scheduled to run concurrently with SDCC 2016 - something else to look for, in the event SA and/or other Arrow actors appear (I believe SA tweeted that he was doing Nerd HQ?)...

Amen. I still remember them tweeting about "the feels."

Of severe nausea, sure.

Do you think that Blake will incorporate some of his shooting experience into his musical scores? I would love if somehow he was able to capture some of it into the music. Shooting a bow and arrow does create some cool sounds.

This video, featuring lots of scenes from past Arrow episodes, is visually stunning - yes, it even includes the Olicity sex scene and yin/yang kiss (Robson is Arrow's cinematographer) - it makes the show look like a theatrical movie...

Take note, though. He didn't say or hashtag Olicity. He said "your OTP." Fans are assuming he means Olicity, but he's still being a jerk. I'll give you a tweet about Ship of the Year, but I'm not gonna hashtag it or mention the ship name. *rme*

I think this time it wasn't a matter of selling what's happening or not happening on the show, just showing support to the fans that support everything he does. It's not like winning or losing has any impact on the show but it would make the fans happy.

His tweet includes the language on the actual post for the votes - he didn't write it. Seems to me based on his FB post that he clearly means for people to vote for Oliver and Felicity.

This is a pretty big reach to criticize him IMO.

It's like an SAT question...which one doesn't belong? What is the pattern? All Berlanti shows? Nope, SPN. All CW shows? Nope, Blindspot. All superhero shows, nope, SPN and Blindspot. What is the commonality?

This is my most favorite Steve response  of ALL TIME. LMFAO

What was this in response to?

Seriously, I absolutely love that song. It felt like a transitional song from youth to adulthood. So I hope he used it for something special. Please tell me he is not associating himself with Dr. Dre. They are miles apart on talent & influence levels.

It's the link posted in that tweet. TV Guide posted pictures of their 4 comic con magazine covers, 2 of which were Flash and Supergirl, and none for Arrow. They forgot about Arrow. LOL.

Thanks @Angel12d & @Chaser. I guess I'm missing the connection besides just literally the forgetting part. Arrow is no Dr. Dre, but that's a whole other conversation not really worth having. Arrow is good show and a trendsetter. Dr. Dre is a groundbreaking pioneer. End of story. I'm missing SA's logic, then again that seems to happen a lot with SA and his social media prowess or lack thereof.

I think you're missing the point. Stephen wasn't seriously making a connection between Dr. Dre and Arrow whatsoever. That video was just a reaction. Just like how people use emojis are reactions or gifs are reactions. 

It was a tongue in cheek way of shading TVGuide for not including Arrow.

I think that response was hilarious and I'm glad that he's gaining a sense of humor on social media.

@wonderwall I am missing the point, because although hilarious in some ways its also completely ridiculous due to its inaccuracy. I don't think TVGuide is gonna feel any shade with that response. Although, I'm sure they appreciated the throwback video, just like I did :)

I guess for me I didn't take it so seriously? I mainly laughed because the meaning of the song is VERY much like what's happening to Arrow... 

The message, imo is: even though you're the "OG" you'll end up being pushed aside and forgotten by others who you've helped make successful

Which is very familiar to Arrow's position (considering GB even said without Arrow, Flash/SG wouldn't have become a thing in a tweet). Just because Dre > Arrow, doesn't mean it's not a valid parallel nor is it offensive to Dre because it's the message of the song that Stephen was making the connection to. Not Dre himself.

I think you're reading way too much into this. It was a shady tweet, nothing more. There's no bigger or deeper meaning behind using Dre. It's not a commentary on Dre's career. If you listen to some of the lyrics too, it was shade. They forgot about Arrow. Simple as that tbh.

I'm not really trying to read anymore into it. I'm just critiquing SA's tweet. There is a whole lot more history and meaning behind that song than just what you mentioned @wonderwall. But I'm gonna let it drop. I see the parallel that SA was trying to make. I think it's a weak one. But it also fits his hubris that he would use that song. It is funny, I think I'm just laughing at it for completely different reasons than other people.

Arrow paved the way for Flash, but Flash has eclipsed it. Time will tell what their legacies will be. Sadly, I predict Arrow may just be the footnote/asterisk to Flash's remembered legend. Dr. Dre will never be an asterisk, even when he is not on the top of the charts.

But back to the covers, Flash is coming off a very popular season with Emmy nominations. Supernatural has proven to be a force of nature. What does Arrow have to offer the cover? Didn't it get booted to a smaller room at SDCC? All it did was maintain its ratings and get average reviews. It's neither mainstream or cultish enough to warrant a cover this season. No shade required, they didn't forget about you Arrow - you didn't register as important enough. I may not enjoy that reality, but that's the truth.

All of the DCTV shows are in the smaller room... which is actually the second largest room after Hall H.

In what ways did Flash eclipse Arrow? With the ratings? Sure. Just like how Justin Bieber eclipses most of Usher's songs on youtube or how his net worth is higher than Usher's. Does that mean Justin Bieber is the better artist and that Usher has nothing to offer or isn't important? I don't believe so.

And looking at the emmy nomination it's only for the category of Outstanding Special Visual Effects, which really isn't about The Flash as a show but about the production crew who created Grodd -- let's be real none of the cast are going to be invited to this event for this award unless they're presenting. 

Arrow being the 2nd highest rated show on the CW isn't important enough? And not only that but it had extremely steady ratings with the Live +7... I don't understand why you're discounting the show's achievements...

The Flash to me will never eclipse Arrow. The Flash has downright copied the way Arrow established OTA trying to make Barry, Cisco and Snow into their own unit. They copied word for word dialogue when Barry's dad died and when Oliver's mom died. Barry cries in every episode and doesn't get hammered for it like characters do from Arrow. Completely ridiculous. All the Flash is, is Barry trying to take down some ridiculous villains. Loses, gets a pep talk and then succeeds. Rinse repeat.
