Unlike Oliver, she doesn't get mad at people for revealing her secret. Well, she has the right to get mad. That's Kara's secret. She wouldn't like it if her identity was spread around as a rumor. She risked her job to trick Cat Grant into thinking she isn't Supergirl when she suspected her. Although I would wonder how her life would be like if everyone knew Supergirl was Kara Danvers. The Flash made me hate the secret identity trope by the way they made secrets and lies problems in that show, especially when Iris got mad when she found out Barry was the Flash. Although Arrow made it worse when Laurel kept Sara's death from Quentin. And I've been binge watching Once Upon a Time and Emma Swan's parents Snow White and David Nolan kept the fact that they transferred Emma's darkness into Maleficent's child who turned out to be her best friend Lily. People get really pissed when secrets are kept from them and they are lied to. Why do super heroes get secret identities anyway? Their logic is that they would protect those they love if those they love didn't know. But they should really be only protecting their identities from villains trying to hurt them, not friends who trusted them. Just because your friend knows, how would the villain hurt them if they don't know who you are?
