Lost Chlollie friends, please say Hello and allow me to RANT
Late as usual, wanted to make sure I can keep in touch with my lost Chlollie friends, banned from K-site. Please tweet me, post here, anything and let me know how and where we can stay in touch. Just a shame.
I am here, DFN and @lurkingtweeter
Rant, which as you know, will not be quick.
I think TPTB over there did not expect the explosive and positive growth of the Chlollie shipper thread. They let some rules slide in the beginning so a lot of things were allowed.
Sorry K-Site your bias is showing. Which is fine, if it was better disclosed. If you put it in big letters, this week the wind blows Clois, L&C: enjoy other characters and ships at your own risk.
Posting and discussion on Chloe and Oliver, costumes, etc.. How is that really off topic? I read EVERY :-) post and it's almost all in context of the character as a whole vis a vis the 'ship. I call bullshit!
Another reason WHY we discuss episodes and the characters in such detail in the shipper thread, as opposed to even the so-called Chlollie episode thread: because it's SAFE.
The few times I went out into an episode thread, character threads, or even Chlollie-specific threads from episodes it was a bloodbath or free for all. Yes there were some respectful posters but it was almost all bashing, all negative in some way that went unchecked. Any pro-Chlollie post got hated on, was called out as us just trolling to make it look like we have more fans, etc.. again it went unnoticed.
All in all total crap, but I will stay there as long as I can to represent. I may even brave a few more episode threads this season, show my full support of Chlollie.
Damn it's hard out here for a Chlollie fan! ;-) Later!
