Okay, About Arrow

…and Flash and SHIELD and all those other shows.

People keep trying to draw me into debates about them. And I got a little frustrated a few minutes ago and just said poop on it.

But the truth is, after thinking about it, I have to say, I do kind of get it. When you love characters, when you love a show, you take it very personally. I understand that. It means a lot to you, you want to see it done right.

Fair enough. And no one should judge you for that.

But guys, I can’t help you. I don’t watch ANY of those shows. It has nothing to do with quality, I just don’t watch much television. When I have free time, I like to spend it reading, visiting my family and dogs, and playing games. It has nothing to do with the shows, I hear they are all great. 

But I haven’t seen even an entire episode of most of them. Arrow, I think I have seen twice.

When you talk about Felicity, you know what I think of? The Lego game version, that’s all I know of her. I haven’t got a clue who she is on the show, what she looks like, who plays her, nothing. 

So I can’t help, I’m sorry. I posted a bit about Arrow today because they are saying they might have a White Canary, and I am excited about that (except White Canary is supposed to be Asian, like Sin). 

That unleashed a bit of a twitter war, with one side calling the other homophobic, and that side calling the first racist.

I condemn both those things whole-heartedly, I think everyone knows that. I may not get everything right all the time, but homophobia and racism both suck. I hate them. 

Unfortunately, from my vantage point, I feel like a badger watching a football game. I don’t know the players, I don’t know the rules, I don’t know the history, and I have no idea what’s going on, I just like the smell of the hot dogs, mostly. Do badgers like hot dogs? 

I bet they do.

Anyway, I apologize for getting frustrated, I am sure most everyone is being sincere. But I just don’t have much of an opinion on ARROW because I don’t watch it, I don’t follow the news about it, and the same goes for all the other comic book shows going on right now.

Okay?  Apologies to anyone who felt I didn’t take them seriously, it’s not that, it’s just a complete blank slate to me and I don’t know what the details are. Having twenty people shouting them at me in contrasting anonymous dms ODDLY DOESN’T HELP.

Now if you want to ask my opinion on Catman’s ass, I have volumes of material on that topic.
