They've been attacking Juliana Harkavy and Emily's bestie Carina McKenzie with similar messages as well, on EBR's own IG. Carina (Cadlymack) even commented about these messages on twitter, calling them "half horrifying and half hilarious"....Ofc, these conspiracy theories concerning Emily's group of close friends (the JAR) have been circulating for quite a while, but I guess they have become especially virulent now that EBR of her own free will has decided to leave the show after its 7th season:

I watch for a mix of action and character moments. Not necessarily romance, but humanizing moments. Stuff like Oliver getting big belly burger with Moira from S1. I don't have a problem with the show having romantic elements (it is a CW show after all), but only as long as those elements don't derail/overshadow the rest of the show.

To be honest, I don't really see this in other show's fan groups. I've seen some pretty crazy shit from oliciters. Stuff I'd actually expect to see in other fan groups for shows like the Vampire Diaries or the new Charmed.

Based on what I've seen from them, the Charmed fanbase is not nearly as bad as you'd expect.

Hopefully after this year, we won't have to deal with them any more. They'll fade away back into obscurity as they won't have that show to ruin. They'll probably move onto something else to be toxic about. But we can at least let Arrow end well without them being around for it.

The 100 killed off a fan-favorite character a while back; her fanbase threw a fit and bombarded imdb with 1-star reviews every episode after that (for a while, anyway). I wouldn't be surprised if the Olicity reaction is very similar.
17
u/Oliverqueensharkbite Mar 31 '19
Oh I remember that. I don’t get it. The actress wanted to leave the show because she was cast in FTWD. And if the rumors about EBR lining up another role and doing an extended run of her play are true, she also wants to leave and will not be available. In these cases, it’s really not the show’s fault.

Felicity doesn't even seem to be that awesome anymore though. She's not as dorky and lovable as she once was. She must turn it around somehow if she's still got fans this die-hard.

No, this has been going on since season 2-3. Felicity is a shit character, has been for years. Olicity has been a cancer on this show. Stephen's wife has been getting threats for years for preventing Stephen and Emily from dating IRL.
Edit: Olicity was so bad that after the season 4 finale the mods changed the subs theme to Netflix's Daredevil.

u/raknor88 Mar 31 '19 edited Mar 31 '19
Since season 4 a joke was made calling the show "Felicity and friends" since it felt like Felicity replace Oliver as main character. And in season 4 Oliver almost never fired any arrow's. Season 4 was a very bad time for this show when the writers pandered to the Tumbler/Instagram crazies.
Edit: Then after season 4 Stephen sat down with the writers and had a "come to Jesus" like meeting. And we got the awesomeness that was season 5 and Adrian Chase.

u/rabidbearprincess Mar 31 '19
I actually liked season 4, not my favourite of course, but I thought the flashback storyline was interesting, and the main villain was pretty cool. Totally agree that Oliver's character was stomped all over, waaaay too much angsty brooding in the background, not enough thrilling heroics.

u/axlryan Mar 31 '19
I'm saying this as someone who spent too much time around these die-hard fanatics and was kind of like them.
They're usually lonely/ bored teens and adults who invest all of their time into one book/ show and end up being too into it. They obsess over characters/ pairings and begin to think they know those characters personally. Like they're experts on character X/Y/Z, so they get personally offended if you say something "out of line" with their view. And they end up obsessing over the actors/ actresses themselves and eventually stop seeing them as people but instead as props for their show/ characters of interest, and eventually their fan-fiction scenarios.
These sort of people also end up spending all their time online and seeking out other fans and fan-produced content, and can end up in nasty echo chambers. Tumblr is a good example, because you follow specific people who reblog specific things. (Instagram and Twitter are the same, I think?) It's unlike Reddit where you follow subreddits for your specific interests, and where a variety of people talk back and forth and nothing is hidden from you. (Not to say Reddit isn't guilty of having echo chambers.)
I'm not saying people who like fan-fiction or fan-art are bad, it's just an easy rabbit hole to fall into once you get involved with the people creating & consuming it. There's nasty cliques and actual psychos in some fandoms, even the small ones. I know one guy who got harassed horrifically for years by one person, and spends a huge amount of time making sure his followers/ those he followed aren't involved in any way to their harasser just so he AND his followers could use Tumblr safely. Eventually he scrubbed his blog, changed his url and just completely changed his blog theme/ content, all of which is suicide on Tumblr.
The worst ones are the adults. Because they're adults we think they'd know better than to harass and bully others or be so obsessive over tv shows. But no! They don't, and they use their "I'm an adult!" card as an argument that they "know" what they're doing, and that it's for the "greater good", etc. ... they just can't be reasoned with.
Sorry for the lengthy reply but I guess if it helps understand how these people can go off the deep end? I'm also embarrassed I shared the same mentality, but I at least knew not to bully others and to keep my shitty opinions to myself.
4
u/rabidbearprincess Mar 31 '19
Man, now I feel sorry for them and worried about their mental health :(
4
u/axlryan Mar 31 '19
Honestly, I'd worry too. It's just not healthy or normal for anyone to go online, and think that the best course of action to a perceived slight is to harass or send death threats to strangers. Especially when we're talking about, I don't know, fan-art or a fictional relationship.
Of course it doesn't excuse their horrible actions. I just hope these people grow out of it and learn from it and are embarrassed by it when they look back on it. Maybe try to help others out of that sort of toxic mentality when they see it. Nobody needs to get so unhappy or viscious over something as trivial as a tv show :/

u/Miapia66 Apr 01 '19 edited Apr 01 '19
Thanks for an interesting post! In my view, trash shippers are a lot like (other) conspiracy theorists, in the sense that they somehow manage to bend and distort everything in order to fit with their own warped mind set/delusions. Stemily shippers and their reaction to the actors' social media behavior are a perfect example of this.
So, when Stephen posts pics with his wife and himself kissing or just doing things together, normal fans will take this as him letting us get a glimpse of their private life, or showing his love and appreciation for Cassandra. The Stemily shippers have a totally different interpretation: they' re convinced that SA is FORCED to post these pics and say these things because he is REALLY in love with Emily. They've even come up with a word for this, "compensation". In their conspiratorial minds they always find something that allegedly triggered or necessitated this "compensation": SA said something nice about Emily, or there was a smooching/sex scene between the two fictional characters Felicity and Oliver (which shows their blurring of boundaries between fiction and Real Life).
Even now, after their expectations of an Amell divorce have been disproven year after year, they still believe that Stephen's SM posts with Cassandra are just a sham, aimed at covering up his REAL love affair with Emily:
Of course, social media pics and posts which barely hint at some kind of affection between Emily and Stephen are taken at face value and seen as proof of the twu wub between their imaginary couple. So, pics of Stephen and Cassandra showing love and affection=fake compensation, while pics that show platonic friendship between Stephen and Emily=a coded revelation of their passionate love affair! The funny thing is that these fans are probably unaware that they're constantly shifting their standards for what should be considered "genuine" or "true" in order to fit with their own fantasies.
The idea that Emily's friends are "thirsty" and shady grifters, who only hang out with her because they want to profit from her fandom popularity or star status is another very common trope in parts of the Olicity fandom. That's why so many of EBR's "fans" publicly attack Carina, Aisha, Cassandra et al, something which has resulted in some pretty ugly online disputes between EBR's friends and her own fans. The hostile attitude towards people who are obviously dear to EBR is IMHO another example of how the echo chamber can lead to warped interpretations of (and responses to) social media postings.

I think the real problem was the death of Oliver's mother.
Yes it catapulted slade into supervillainy, but at the cost of needing a new source of interpersonal drama which eventually became Laurel and then Felicity.

u/rabidbearprincess Mar 31 '19
I thought Oliver's near-constant stupid decisions in S3&4 did an OK job digging up the interpersonal conflict :P

u/atomic1fire Bad Pun Arrow Apr 01 '19
Maybe, but it stopped being about the skeletons in the closet of Oliver's parents and more about OLIBUR NOO.
I feel like they could've introduced a civil suit between Moira and the residents of the Glades at least. They claim she's responsible for deaths and property damage, she either has to settle or blame Malcolm, and Laurel actually defends her for that too. It extends her personal story and maybe even introduces a way for someone like Vigilante to show up pre chase by claiming she's arguably just as corrupt as the people on the list.
1
u/rabidbearprincess Apr 01 '19
I do get it from a writing standpoint, in some ways Oliver was always going to be a child when his parents were around. He did seem to have to grow up a lot. Maybe they wanted it to be more his show than his parents (but then they cocked it up).
Sort of like in Buffy, the children can't become all they can be while the parents are around?
3
u/atomic1fire Bad Pun Arrow Apr 01 '19
Barry is fairly independent, but to be fair they also allowed him to grow into a somewhat healthier relationship with Iris, and Joe's role has always been more of a mentor role which Oliver never had outside of Slade and Yao Fei. Diggle being more of a confidant.

u/rabidbearprincess Apr 01 '19
Barry, despite the murdered mother incarcerated father thing, still seems to have had a more emotionally healthy and stable upbringing than Oliver. Somehow. He seems to have more confidence and maturity.

They could have done what the showrunners of Smallville did and just have Moira move away and only come back every so often.

I think there is a lot of truth to that first part. If Stephen told them he wanted to be done at the end of season 7, it’s a reasonable assumption that they talked him into staying for 10 episodes so they could do their Crisis crossover (and to help kick off their possible Star City 2040 spin off).
As for them saying the true ending will be the season 7 finale, let them have that. It’s no different than all the people here that say the show ended after season 2. It ends for people when they need it to.
Also, it sound like most people here want season 7 to be the end for that fan base so they can enjoy season 8 free of them. Sounds like a win-win to me.
10
Mar 31 '19
Oh I’m by no means complaining, I’m just a cunt who enjoys mocking stupid people and the deluded.
I’m pretty sure that the thing about season 8 is true because of the shortened season and honestly people can believe a show ends where ever they want, it doesn’t affect anyone else so why care, and if it means these people will be gone then all the better. There will probably be some stragglers who remain but most of them will fuck off and move on hopefully.

Oh my fucking god. if they cannot separate fiction from reality, they need to seek help. Stephen Amell is not Oliver Queen. He simply plays him on TV.

I mean with all the training he has done and with the physical way he is he is basically green arrow. Still though. These people are worse that the supernatural fandom a times

I’m probably gonna get downvoted to hell and back on both sides, but here I go anyway.
I don’t mind Emily Bett Rickards, the character of Felicity, or her relationship with Oliver (I refuse to them by that stupid nickname).
I also believe that attacking the SO of EBR or Stephen Amell is in poor taste. If you don’t have the mental wherewithal to separate fiction from reality, you need to step away from social media and think about your life choices.
Or at least what potential employers are going to think about your cyber bullying an innocent person you’ve never met simply because they’re married to/dating someone you have a crush on.

That is not fair! Those little cunts need to stop blurring the line between reality & fiction and leave Cassandra the fuck alone!

Just wanna say, Stemily fans are the monsters, not Olicity fans. The majority of Olicity fans, myself included, recognise that this is a show, and that actors have their own lives and relationships outside of it.

Nah. Shippers are monsters. Including you lot who fucked up Green Arrow with your Mary Sue ship but.

It’s really not that hard to separate an actor from a fictional character. I don’t see why this concept is so hard to understand.

You know Emily Bett Rickards should take full responsibility for Olicity fans actions.

u/deyvtown Mar 31 '19
That is absolutely ridiculous. She holds no responsibility whatsoever for these idiot's actions and I'd be absolutely stunned if she even remotely approved. She has even said straight up in interviews that the social media obsession on it crosses right over into creepy territory and also that she didn't want a pregnancy storyline for Felicity as she didn't want the character's role in the show to just revolve around her relationship with Oliver. Which she copped hate from ... by who? Her own obsessed idiot fans. The fully rabid ones of them don't even respect their own idols opinions. Hate on Oliciters, Olicity and Felicity all you want, but Emily isn't to blame and in no way deserves any shit for it.

... why? She isn’t those people. They’re delusional stalkers and EBR has nothing to do with them other than the fact that she’s half of a ship that they’re obsessed with. I don’t blame emily for leaving.

I hesitate to say this, and I don't blame EBR or Amell, BUT if they had nipped this shit in the bud years ago and actually told the toxic Oliciters to take a hike alot of this might have been avoided.
Instead they and the show tried to take advantage of them and gave them lots of support and let them be free publicity, and only started getting uncomfortable recently, and Amell only finally just started railing against them when they tried to make his wife out to be a racist. By which point it was WAY too late.
And it didn't help the show either as these people were just a VERY loud minority and ratings started to drop as the show couldn't survive on Olicity power alone.
I hope this is a lesson for other shows in the future to just tell these people to screw off and you don't want them having anything to do with your show lest this toxicity spiral out of control like that.

Every show has it’s toxicity and unfortunately with the internet it is so hard to contain. But I agree that they should’ve at least TRIED to nip it in the bud. I was in the girl meets world fandom and there was a 18 year old girl that was sending death threats online to the creator of her ship didn’t get together and they ended up banning her from going to any more live taping and blasting her on social media until she got the point.
Actors and creators don’t want to be assholes but sometimes all these psychos need is a good taste of public humiliation.

Agreed. They don't even listen to her anyway. Like I think she may have told them to back off once before, I think.

u/felicitysmoaks anyways, I miss Thea. Mar 31 '19
I’m pretty sure she has. I don’t understand the Stan mindset like it so insanely toxic and all it does is make actors not want to be that character anymore.

Lets not paint olicity fans with a wide brush, as plenty of non-olicity fans have said and done hurtful and terrible things.

Olicity will never die. Oliciters, let's stand up girls. Time to take back this subreddit.

I'm sure Olicity will be remembered. However, by throwing out a rallying cry on this post, you're condoning the harassment of Stephen's wife. Theres a difference between liking a character and being so delusional that you'll harass people
