User blog comment:Eobard95/We should boycott Arrow/@comment-1854917-20171102170523

"I'm probably gonna get a bit of crap for this" is an underestimation of the year. Eobard95, there are reasons this television series universe is called Arrowverse and more importantly there are reasons why this very Wikia is at arrow.wikia.com adress. It all started with "Arrow" and I personally think that series is going strong with Season 5 being the best since Season 1 yet ans Season 6 being promising, if it's a bit early to tell. I'm excited to see what they will do with Richard Dragon and Vigilante and when you post a screenshot from the series with rather impressive superhero costumes that somehow manage to balance vague realism, comic book canon and "rule of cool", which is not an easy thing to do, especially on a moderate budget of a television season I just... Can't make anything of it.

Asking people to boycott their favorite show on an encylopedic FAN SITE is just such a selfish and weird idea I really start to wonder how your logic works. Because I can't see one here. Then again, I can't understand most of your actions and I'm not here to judge. Everyone has a right to have a subjective vision but it's just so happens that if it's unpopular one you should be prepared that no one might agree with you. Believe me as a man who doesn't like and don't understand the appeal of "Game of Thrones", "House of Cards", "Breaking Bad", "The Walking Dead", name it, most of the shows that people consider "great". Each time I have spoken about it brings the new stone throwers who try actively defend what they like but the biggest problem is that they also, usually, bash what I like just as actively. "You have no taste", "you're a moron", "you're wrong" - that's all I get and even some of my friends don't treat me seriously at times and won't even try to comprehend what I'm saying about these shows... And sometimes more, when it would have mattered.

People should finally get over this crap and understand that media is like food - you can't like anything and each person will prefer a unique combination. And some people are even allergic or intolerant, being subjected to what they can't normally watch will downright hurt them and leavng something from the diet might do that as well. Nothing is ever objective and nothing ever pays in the arguments. You should value your personal opinion and never let anyone tarnish it, but you should expect that people won't like when they tarnish it. Even if you think that your vision is perfectly logical and smart, it is probably will never be worth it to try and agressively pursue it, as there are more important things. And at times it's just so happens that in important things these small arguments will backfire and people will think of you in a wrongest way possible just because you don't like what they consider the best show ever. In a world where we have much more crucial problems and experience the ever growing level of stress every day, the fact that small things like that are still of such importance to people that they may hurt other people emotionally continuousy is one of those small things that might one day break you. When I left my city three years ago due to a war conflict, "Arrow" was one of the things that helped me calm down a bit and it still does. I like this show despite, I can see a lot of plot holes, continuity problems, technical mistakes etc. - it is especially evident if you're a filmmaker and have experienced such problems yourself on any level. You can't craft a perfect show, you can't make anyone care about every single episode. More importantly - you shouldn't try. The only way you can make a show that will have some audience - is uniqeness of your vision, inspiration and a bit of luck. If anything I'll ever make will make anyone cope with the problems partially as "Arrow" helped me, I'd be honored. And then I will finally be able to put down a lot of sadness and bad days that people brought me via their destructive vision of my works (even though I only have less then 200 subscribers on YouTube and a few thousands views at best). People, who are somewhat similar to you, Eobard95, although I'm quite sure that in case of "Arrow" your opinion is such a minority that it hardly will be taken seriously. Not with such an approach, anyway.
