AyChihuahua July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 I think that's pretty much EBR's norm. I spend my free time lazing on the couch with dogs, she spends hers working out. She seems actually to enjoy it. From my perspective, she may be an alien, but more power to her. 7 Link to comment

Chaser July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 It didn't occur to me that there is a chance not everyone in the regular cast would attend. That would be such a bummer. 1 Link to comment
tv echo July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 (edited) CR is Charlotte Ross (Donna) and AMA is Audrey Marie Anderson (Lyla). SDCC is also an opportunity to introduce new cast members - for JS, RG, MMcL, CLC, CP and TR, see Spoilers thread. Other regular cast members may be attending - I just haven't seen any confirmation yet. Maybe in the next few days (check tweets)? Edited July 19, 2016 by tv echo Link to comment

Good point. That is about as annoying as when people just responded with NoLaurelNoArrow. At some point it becomes spam, IMO. 1 hour ago, AyChihuahua said: The joke is most likely that he's angry bc the canon romance was not the prime romance.

I thought Ben was making a point about how whenever they mention Olicity they get anger about it not being comic canon but it's possible he's also trolling. IDK. If what you're saying is accurate, they should have hired actors with chemistry rather than the cardboard cutouts that SA and KC become whenever they're together. Just saying, it's a problem of their own making so they can STFU. But again, IDK what he was trying to say tbh. Edited July 19, 2016 by Angel12d 1 Link to comment

I am getting kind of confused, but what I was trying to say is that I THINK Ben, to the extent he's intentionally saying anything, is making fun of anti-Olicity feelings. The memes using that pic, the vast majority of which are unrelated to Arrow, are making fun of Giuliani's rage face by using it to illustrate other silly issues ppl rage about. 5 Link to comment
Belinea July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 So is he saying people should get over it? That they have Olicity and their rage over not accepting it is like the Giuliani pic? I am so slow today... Link to comment
looptab July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 Yeah, I feel kinda stupid but I don't get it either. I get Jenny Raftery's one, but not Ben's. Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 Ben, I think ... maybe, is equating Giuliani's rage face to the face comic fan boys make when Olicity is mentioned. Like, "What is Olicity?!?! What is this thing that is taking over my beloved comics?!?!" But who knows *shrug* 1 Link to comment
wonderwall July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 Never has Ben ever indicated he's preferred comic canon. I don't see why that should be the case today. 1 Link to comment
dtissagirl July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 I think Ben is saying O/F fandom is silly when there are ~serious things~ happening in the world. Because, you know, being in 'shippy fandom and paying attention to real life are totally mutually exclusive. Link to comment

tarotx July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 (edited) If people stopped spamming (pro and anti) then the writers wouldn't be so annoyed. I get that Olicity and Black Canary are important to the fandom but for those of us who aren't exclusive to either fandom post after post especially with one or two words can tip you into wishing the Olicity romance goes the way of Black Canary. Dead for good. Though I think Oliver is going to be in a prissy angry mood because he's not getting any and that's going to be fun (not). Edited July 19, 2016 by tarotx 1 Link to comment

Meaning they don't care about opinions other than their own. Or maybe they still have a bruised ego. Last but not least, maybe they are actually trying to prepare people that the stuff they like is being dropped and therefore they are preparing them for dropping the show. 1 Link to comment

looptab July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 What I'm gathering from reading the answers to his tweets is that Olicity fans feel mocked, and Anti.Olicity fans feel insulted to be compared to Trump. So he basically pissed off the entire fandom this time around. 3 minutes ago, Angel12d said: I'm an Olicity fan and spamming the writers with simply the word 'Olicity' is pissing me off too.

apinknightmare July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 (edited) If he's pissed about people spamming him, then he can simply tweet, "Please stop spamming me with Olicity" instead of all of this roundabout, you-can-read-it-either-way BS.

They read the comments because they want to. I get it's probably super annoying for them, but it's also part of silly social media. I can't get upset on their behalf for silly stuff. It's different when it's actual harassment, like what happened to Leslie Jones yesterday, which was some of the grossest things I've ever seen in life.

Belinea July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 (edited) But then again couldn't anyone just spam them? Meaning you wouldn't have to be a fan but could also be a hater and just trying to get to them. I think it is just not the nicest thing to passive-aggressively mock your fans. What good will that do? At the end of the day these people care enough to watch your show. But then again, maybe they should really just watch the news or something else. It just bugs me that whenever they need buzz or promotion they use the fandom (especially the O/F) but if not then they make it seem as though they almost look down on them or they couldn't be bothered with that nonsense. 4 minutes ago, statsgirl said: Or depending on what the spoilers are, maybe they'll get worse....

When I first read the tweet on here I had no idea what he was talking about, then went on twitter and read his other tweets I thought he was addressing the anti- crowd, while other people thought he was referring to the Olicity fans..so I don't think the spam has to do with it, is what I'm saying.

apinknightmare July 19, 2016 Share July 19, 2016 If he's tweeting Giuliani gifs and Trump questions because of spamming - and neither of those things directly address the spamming or his desire for it to stop in any way, no wonder half the shit on Arrow doesn't make any sense. 8 Link to comment
