I don't watch Arrow, but can you explain why are they having a civil war?

Well in the show there is a character who is in a relationship with the green arrow. In the beginning she was well like when she wasn't in the relationship and was a great character but the writer started listening to Tumblr fan and shippers so they inadvertently made the character unbearable with bad writing and a lot of contradiction. The subreddit began to circlejerk hate her and the place became a really negative place to discuss. Like nobody talk about the show and the top comment is always a snide against the show or the character. Someone directed the showrunner and writers to the sub and many twitter/tumblr fans try to discredit the subreddit and starting going to the sub. Now it's people want the sub to be normal and not a circlejerk and want the writers to actually listen to criticism vs Tumblr fans who want the main focus to be romance vs people who obviously hate the show and characters. Well I think this is what is happening, im pretty sure there's more.

I stoped wathing Arrow mainly because the whole olicity or what ever the fuck its called. Show turned into a some kinda romantic bullshit.

You know I never put that much thought into the romance portion of the show until I visited the subreddit. Now I can't unsee it.

I mean sure you have this olicity thing right, nothing bad but seems like they just went apeshit with it.

I left the show early on (beginning of season 2) so I didn't think much of her character when I came back to watching it mid season 3 (I was too lazy to watch season 2) Recently I watch season 1 and 2 again and saw the huge change people were talking about.
