the reason people hated her this year is because the writers tried so hard to force her and oliver together that they turned her into an unlikable character who spends more time crying and whining than anything else. she used to be one of my favorite characters on the show, but there are some characters who do not have the depth to be a leading character, and felicity falls under that. she is meant to be a secondary character like thea or diggle, not a leading lady. the writers made the huge mistake of pandering to shippers and the show suffered as a result. and its not just me who says that, read or watch any review of this last season and you'll see the same exact argument. how is that for backing up a claim?
