Um...Yeah!!
To address issues within the Chloe fandom!
1) I love Chloe. First and foremost. Before any ship. Independent of any other character. She's why I watch this show. She's why I watched it for as long as I have.
2) Chlark will always be my OTP. I don't have to disregard that history because of what is happening now. Why would I? I have eight years of scenes that will always be dear to my heart.
3) I loved and still love reporter Chloe for reasons that have nothing to do with Chlois so I'll bemoan the fact that she no longer writes in any capacity for a long time. Probably forever. There's more than one way to wield power and before she entered the world of superheroes, Chloe managed it with her pen and her wit and intelligence and her snark. That's impressive. She took on the world and the Luthors and the meteor infected before she ever had a moniker. I will always love that.
4) I love Chlollie. They make me melt. I love Ollie for loving her and I love that she has someone in her corner. I love that she has the ability to make him light up and I love that they found each other when they needed each other the most. I don't have any difficulty believing in their relationship. Chlollie is what I have looked forward to most this season.
5) I want Chloe to be happy with what she chooses to do with her life. As long as her path is clear and she is passionate and ambitious and determined, I think I will be ok with how it plays out. Of course this depends on the writers ability to write out a decent closing arc for her. Not rushed. Not random.
6) I don't need or ask anyone to agree with me. I don't even ask that you respect my opinion. I certainly don't respect every opinion in this fandom. I only ask that you respect my right to have an opinion and voice it.
7) I do ask that you be respectful to each other in comments on my journal because I have every type of Chloe fan friended. I will not have anyone called crazy or delusional because they don't think as you do. Hating Chlollie is fine. Hating Chlark is fine. Hating Chloe...means I will judge you but then I watch Smallville so who am I to judge anyone ;)
