So I am iconing a character that a fandom doesn't like (or I see lots of hate for). But I don't understand all the hate for Iris West.

Any characters you like but fandom seem to not like?

Iris is my fav tbh and she's such a good subject to icon!

She really is! I get that some people ship certain things on The Flash but the rude comments about Iris on tumblr annoys me.

tbh I don't follow Snowboring fans so I never see anything bad about Iris, thankfully. My corner of the Internet is full of love and admiration for her.

The sad thing is I am a multishipper, so I ship snowberry and allenwest and other pairings for the show, but I think I seen/heard/read catty comments from both pairings (snowberry and allenwest) and I am just like can't we enjoy the show without being rude about Iris and Caitlin.

ngl I don't like Caitlin very much (mostly because DP is a v bad actress imo and the writing for her hasn't been v good like her whole story so far revolves around men) but I don't actively post shit about her like why would you waste time ranting about how much you hate something/someone when you could be out there gushing about your favs instead

Reminds me back in the day how intense shipping war was for Harry Potter back in the days. Especially in fanfiction. Actually made a point not to write fanfiction of my pairings until after Harry Potter finished and the shipping war died down.

oh god the Harry Potter shipping wars were the worst. They have died down mostly but every once in a while a bitter H/Hr shipper makes their way onto my dash and I'm just??? it's been eight years time for you to let go of your dream of it being canon and just enjoy it in fanish world

I totally ship H/Hr and regret nothing! :D (But I do ship other ships as well for Harry Potter.)

(I don't like the R/Hr and H/G shipping, but I was never rude about anyone shipping them).

But like I said, the shipping wars were the worst and I hated how spiteful/hateful and angry people could be. Also hated when people complained about reading a fanfiction with a ship that they hated. No one is forcing you to read those fanfictions.

This is why I hate when shipping wars (or just catty comments) occur on tumblr. I am like why can't we all ship who we want to ship without bringing ships down.

lol H/Hr is my ultimate notp literally cannot stand the thought of them but it would never ever ever occur to me to be rude to their shippers like??? I actually untracked the Romione tag about ten thousand years ago on tumblr because there were far too many "lol h/hr fans are so dumb" posts which??? stop it, we "won," no need to also be rude about it, Ron and Hermione would be ashamed of you!
(and I never cared for Harry and Ginny individually so H/G remains the most underwhelming romance of all times for me lmao)

I didn't like Iris at first because her storyline was flat and unexciting and the actress wasn't that great. I hated Cisco as well for being *too geeky* like inserting all the superhero/villain names and trying to hard with it and just shoving it in our faces, I hated that.

They've been more bearable the last few episodes of the season so I'm more interested in their characters in the next season.

I love Cisco cause of his geekiness (and it doesn't help that I am geeky/nerdy). But that last few episodes is tptally setting season 2 to be epic (flashpoint story is totally going to happen).

I agree that Iris didn't have a good storyline in the beginning.

Also it doesn't help that Legends of Tomorrow also looks epic!

nayrt

Legends of Tomorrow does look good. Funny how both Arrow spin offs end up being far superior to the original crapfest of a show.

AYRT

I have never watched Arrow (ok I watched the Barry Allen episodes from season 2) but I have never watched that show. I don't think I saw the appeal of it, tbh.

ayrt

Arrow is just sosososososo bad it's not even funny omg I literally only watched for Laurel and since the writers keep sidelining her for Mary Sue Smoak and her stupid ass romance with Douchebag Queen I dropped the show like five episodes before the end of S3 I'm literally so done with it.

I watched the finale for season 3 but I kept thinking nothing is happening, and I only watched it to see Barry in it for a second :P
