I can speak only for myself now. ^^

Firstly i habe no problem with Felicity, i like her a lot. I have only a Problem with "Olicity"! Oliver and Felicity are a terrible couple.

I make no secret of it, that i love the substantive proximity to comics in witch Green Arrow/Oliver Queen and Black Canary/Dinah "Laurel" Lance are a couple similar Clark Kent and Lois Lane or Aquaman and Mera. That is simply her DESTINY to be a couple they are soulmates! ( funny thing, i can live totally with Superman and Wonder Woman being a couple in the New 52 Comics instead of Superman and Lois Lane, so it's not that I be particularly against new interpretations)

independently of that the releationship of Oliver and Felicity don't work on the screen. They do not complement each other. they do not advance each other. They do not UNDERSTAND each other!

Felicity Smoak is pretty much a charakter that was created for the Show, She is theoretically based on the charakter from the Firestorm comics but she shares only the Name with that Comicbook Charakter.

And with her adorable personality and her quirks and quips she easily crept into our hearts. And soon the Fanboys (and GIRLS) of the show started to to wish "this time the sympathetic, smart and nerdy Cinderella have to be end up with the handsome Hero and not the head cheerleader like always" and thats why we got "Olicity"!

(same shit happend with Winn and Kara on Supergirl and was happend with Chloe Sullivan and Clark kent on Smallville)

the thing is they simply dont fit. The relationship with felicity makes Oliver not stronger but weaker! He even falls back to old and bad habits. Like killing his enemies.

what is the point of preaching that he wants to be a symbol of hope for the people. A Hero that fights in the Light! when he is now again killing Darhks Ghots without mercy because of Felicity. Felicitys task must have be teatching Oliver that the path of vengeance isent justice after all insteat of telling him in the car that he MUST KILL him now! ^^

She shows that just because you were raised by one parent doesn't put you at a disadvantage. yes the Arrowverse is ful of that kind of strong female characters i realy like the way that this shows protrays girls/women
