The writers do love Olicity, what I am saying is that it gets heavily criticised. Look beyond twitter btw, it has like 20 Olicity shippers there and the arrow reddit has 80,000 people and that site is huge Olicity haters. Not trying to start an argument, you clearly like Olicity I'm just stating my observations of this season. BTW Olicity is terrible.

The writers went all in on Olicity in the first half of the season but the first half got trashed heavily due to Felicity's behavior in the crossover and episode 4 and the whole step-mum arc with William. After all that negative reaction Felicity's screentime has been heavily reduced in the second half of this season (Thankfully).

The fact remains that beyond the 20 twitter fangirls, the Olicity crap is almost universally disliked on this wiki, youtube, reddit and facebook.
