As an active member of the tag -You know which one- I want to apologize for every unwanted attention that has come to you because of it, I think we try to keep it focused but it obviously fails. So sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for giving us an amazi

It’s fine, I think it’s a misunderstanding. I honestly find the whole thing kind of amusing.


When I first posted a joke about Arrow right before the rain of fury came down, there was one woman who called upon all her followers to come and attack me, despite the fact that; 

a) I have seen a total of ONE EPISODE

and

b) I still don’t know what the hell Olicity is. I get that it’s a ship that is a big deal to people, but I have never HEARD of the character outside of this thread and have no idea who or what Felicity is about. So it’s completely meaningless to me.


Nevertheless, she decided I was insulting those shippers directly (I wasn’t, I had to be reminded this was a real thing that exists), and called her followers to come scream at me.


Which they did.


So there’s the lesson, don’t make fun of toxic fandom unless you want them to come flying at you with sharp sticks and rocks. :)


It’s SO not a big deal, I found the whole event weird and surreal. I still have no idea what ‘Olicity’ really means, I don’t know a thing about their version of Black Canary, I don’t watch the show and I post this nearly every day, yet every day I get tons of questions about it and it’s just all a bit weird.


I got no beef with fans of the show, certainly not with shippers. Ship who you want, I do that with stuff I love ALL THE TIME. :)


Nobody needs to apologize, honest. It was weird, but interesting to watch.
