there is nothing you can say to please these people

>>85435437

>not angry at the overall garbage that the show is or the horrific finale

>>85435437
Why did these people get mad about a relationship they made up in their heads not being true?

The customer is always right

How dare they not listen to their fans

So two female character's not being gay now qualifies as homophobia?

>>85437688
CW outright ruined supernatural by acknowledging and then pandering to these assholes

I didn't know you were allowed to openly deride your viewers like this. Even if they are insufferable babies they're still your viewers and pissing them off is the last thing you'd want to do. Anyways, I feel bad for The CW's PR team. It's just one disaster after another.

>>85439002
Clearly he assumed people watching capeshit and writing lesbian fanfic about the characters would have a sense of humor

Fuck I'd love to give Morgana my cummies

>>85439085

>impromptu musical summary of season 2
Yeah, no. The writers put this together and you know they rehearsed it.

>>85435437
>https://www.themarysue.com/supercorp-shippers-rise-up/
>This weekend at Comic-Con, the cast of Supergirl was asked by MTV’s Josh Horowitz to do an improvised musical recap of the show’s second season. At one point, Jeremy Jordan, who plays Winn, sings about how Kara met a “new friend,” Lena Luthor (played by Katie McGrath). He then looks into the camera and yell-sings “They’re only friends! They’re only friends! They’re not gonna get together! They’re only friends.”

>As you might have guessed, a lot of fans did not find Jordan’s joke funny.

>While Jordan thought he was just making a harmless joke, “debunking” the “Supercorp” relationship, he has a fundamental misunderstanding of why shipping is so important to LGBTQIA fans.

>[ETA: For the unfamiliar, “shipping” is when fans imagine a relationship (often times romantic) between characters that may or may not have been overtly intended by their writers or creators.]

>LGBTQ+ representation is severely lacking on television, and respectful, fully developed queer relationships even more so. So fans will sometimes root for and support the relationships they want to see onscreen. Just because it isn’t planned by the show’s creators, or official canon, that doesn’t make it less important to fans.

>And the very last thing those fans need is to be laughed at by someone on the show.

>>85437892
They take it too seriously, shipping is cancer.

>>85439204
>t’s worth noting that in the full video of the interview, McGrath voices a much more open response to the Supercorp shippers. She says that while she and Melissa Benoist didn’t expect this reaction to their onscreen friendship, she sees it as totally valid. “The great thing about what we do is, like any art, anybody can read into it what they want and take from it, so you can see anything and take from it what you like. And that’s what’s great about this show. There are so many different ways to see everything. And if that’s what you see in it, you know, take it away. It’s art.”

>Jordan, though, took to Instagram to address people’s displeasure with his comments. He apologizes, but insists that people are misinterpreting his intentions.

>Again, Jordan seems to be misunderstanding what the problem was. His apology still reads as incredibly dismissive of the feelings of fans, ultimately boiling down to “you got it wrong.”

Why does Mary Sue feel the need for like 30 quotes from twitter for this shit? What the fuck is LGBT after the T? There are a lot more mental illness letters sitting after it.

In my fantasy I am married and have a lovely family with Rooney Mara where we sit down and play with Lego. How dare you explicitly say that it is not the case, this relationship is very important to me and I expect everyone to acknowledge it. This is my interpretation AND IT IS VALID!

>>85439204
>LGBTQ+ representation is severely lacking on television, and respectful, fully developed queer relationships
Wouldn't two girls just be lesbians?

>>85439204
>a fundamental misunderstanding of why shipping is so important to LGBTQIA fans.

They may have a fundamental misunderstanding of reality and how to consume and digest fiction in a sane way that doesn't lead to mental illness and routine suicidal thoughts.

Pretty fucking funny given that shippers were really against Kara dating Jimmy for reasons that were obviously rooted in racism

>>85439945
nuh-uh, he just wasn't right for her on an emotional level

>>85435437
>tfw a shipper myself

Is this the new fandom Supernatural shippers went to?

>>85435437
The showrunners deserve this.

Theyve earned it.

Pander to this minuscule demographic once, and you deserve every mentally deranged complaint they throw your way.

You'd be better off ignoring them at every turn.

hook needs to nuke this shit board already fucking christ

>>85440173
I'm a shipper too. The ones trying to force their ship into canon are cancer.

The only good ship is a non-canon ship. Everyone knows that.

I'm trying hard to understand but I don't.

The LGBT community is so fucking annoying

>>85435437
If they were in a homosexual relationship would they be fine with straight shippers?

There's a very simple solution to this: stop writing in meaningless subtext to lure people into watching your show. The CW is the undisputed champ of this shit. Like one anon said, they brought it on to themselves.

>>85441409
people see subtext everywhere tho

Supergirl needs all the publicity it can get. The showrunners are loving the "controversy".

>>85439204
Thanks for posting the summary. I wasn't about to click on the clickbait.

>>85435437
>>85435437

Jesus shittycocking Christu, do these rabid foaming vulvas not realise what they call "shipping" is more accurately called "Queer bating"???

Leading viewers to believe that two characters might have a gay relationship just to get people to watch a show. Used to be looked down upon. Now people are harassed for not doing it.

>>85441757
They're more pissed at how the actors reacted to them being shipped than the ship not being real.

>>85441648
>>The initialism LGBTTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual) has also resulted

There's some truly absurd ones though, that everyone accepts are a joke.

LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA?
LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM
LGBTQQIP2SAA

etc

>>85439438

I'm assuming this supergirl has generally behaved as a straight person. So her then doing gay stuff would put her in some sort of vague sexual grey area = queer. If she was like "I like both" she'd be bi. If she said "I like girls no" = gay.

>>85441862
She has never been anything but staright

Shippers believe that women cannot be friends, so unless they are scratching each other's eyes out and fighting over boys, the default position is that they're secretly gay

>>85441757
There's plenty of outrage about queerbaiting.

>LGPTABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY&Z+

what's funny is that this is all a competition to be either the most offended or inclusive. No matter what you say or do you're offending one or another group, regardless of how small that group is


>Don't step on the toes of the dog lovers, cat lovers, doctors, lawyers, merchant chiefs, Mormons, Baptists, Unitarians, second-generation Chinese, Swedes, Italians, Germans, Texans, Brooklynites, Irishmen, people from Oregon or Mexico The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle controversy

So what audience does Supergirl have left at this point?

>>85441938
They're also hard at shipping Jimmy and Wynn.

Or were, before this debacle anyway.

It is Lena's fault. She keeps giving the sex eyes to Kara.

>>85441980
They need to call a conclave of all the gray, trans, whatever communities and decide once and for all on a single acronym, or decide to collectively all use Queer as a catch-all for "not the norm"

Me

>>85441938
Except no one ships Kara and her other female friends / step sister.

Gay people are usually self important cunts about most anything. I don't care if a person is gay, but I do care if they're cunts, so I dislike most gays I've met. I'm not ashamed to put it like that.

>>85442010
OCD weirdos like me who also still watch Agents of SHIELD because it's still technically part of the DCEU / MCU

It's why jon x sansa for GoT is cancer

>>85442111
>I have no problem with black people, I just don't want to be friends with anyone oorer or of lower education than myself
>I'm TOTALLY not a racist though guys

>>85442064
This people want to feel special no matter what, you think a label that encapsulates them would be ok with them?

>>85442185
I like Queer being adopted as a catch-all. It's poetic, it has symbolic meaning, and it covers everyone because it's not specific to a particular group

I dunno about those gay shippers, but as a straight man who dropped this show because it got utterly insufferable, some hot Kara x Lena action would literally be the only thing that'd make me consider picking it up again for season 3.

Yeah, unlike you they probably haven't made that their daily routine yet.

>LGBTQIA
Why tf do they keep adding letters?

>>85442736
Good zinger mate, I was expecting that

>>85442761
Other minorities get enough support, that the collective has to amalgamate them

There's actually 2 A's, one for Asexual and one for Allies - because straight people felt left out and wanted a letter too

>>85441719
if the show wasnt already shit tier due to pandering to niche demographics they wouldnt be desperate for "controversy"

Gay/les shipping fans are the most crazy people i ever met.

>>85441938
Lena and Kara acting like lovestruck teenagers whenever they're near one another doesn't really help.

>>85443238
>Lena and Kara acting like lovestruck teenagers whenever they're near one another

This is what shippers believe

>>85443238
They don't though?

People don't just start shipping shit for no reason for the most part. There's usually some subtext that people pick up on and Supergirl has it as anon-kun here >>85442045 demonstrates.

>>85443548
People take two women being friends and fabricate subtext

>>85439204
Ae they not satisfied with all that bullshit relationship drama betwen Alex and Maggie every single week?

So if you're a showrunner, what's the best way to deal with an SJW backlash like this?

>>85444172
You can't. YOu avoid it in the first place by having black, gay, trans & disabled people in your show. Have everyone just treat the like they don't even notice, then have them all have sex scenes

>>85444172

>but guys, i'm one of you, didn't you see all my thinly veiled anti-trump episodes?

>>85444172

jesus fucking christ. this article is FULL of bullshit. underrepresentation of the LGBT community? for real? how many percent of the american population are gay and how many percent of the supergirl cast are? give me a fucking break

the guy was totally right to say the things he did at comic-con. supergirl at ALL times shown to be straight in the show so why should anyone from the cast acknowledge the retarded fans? if someone was telling homosexual people that "IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF YOU WERE STRAIGHT WITH THIS PERSON!!!", homosexuals all over the place would be whining their asses off online. why is it okay to talk shit about people and to literally WISH they were homosexual but when pointing out that said people are straight, suddenly you're an asshole?

And they will continue watching, despite what they say.

And they will forget pretty soon either way. These bitches always jump from one absurd issue to the next.

>>85444662
Because LGBTQQIAAP+ people are not tokens.

The show should include thm prominantly, but not be a show ABOUT being LGBTetc., they should be integrated into all mainstream entertainment

I know you're trolling me but ....tell me why they need to cry about two straight characters being straight because they would like more "token" characters in a show? It's the same with arrow they pushed for a poof and got mr terrific what if hetros complained about a straight couple on the L word or wanted gaycia to have a mommy ?

>>85445692
I was exaggerating, but not trolling.

The point is a show like Queer as Folk or Will & Grace isn't good enough, because it's a "gay show" so only to appease gay people. Whereas gay etc. characters should be normalised within all media

>>85435437
These fucking people are like our /pol/ fellows
They can't live without finding/creating the slightless crack on their "realities"

>>85445859
this is what I find confusing. Sometimes they seem to argue for "segregation" but at the same time will also ask for everyone to accommodate them

>>85445859
Gay people make up about 2-5% of the population. If anything, they are vastly overrepresented in the media

>>85445859
It's not gonna happen anytime soon. Studios and cable channels are scared that Cletus and Tyrone will flip their shit and stop watching if they see more gays on screen.

>>85446070

Equality

50% male / 50% female

20% straight / 20% gay / 20% lesbian / 20% pansexual / 20% asexual

20% cicgender / 20% transgender / 20% genderfluid / 20% gender non-binary / 20% agender

equal proportion of all races and those who identify as transracial and as no race

25% able-bodied and able-minded / 35% disabled and able-minded / 25% able-bodied and menal health issues / 25% physically and mental health issues

In EVERY show and movie

>>85446353
If gay characters were to equally represented in the media as protagonists, then around 2-5% of all films should have a gay lead. Now, I don't have any evidence to back this up, but I'd be willing to be that around that percentage of contemporary Western films have gay leads. I wouldn't be surprised if the number was actually higher. There really is no problem of representation.

>>85446487
Real life is shit because gay people don't have equal treatment

Equal representation is the first step to curing this

>>85446524
>gay people don't have equal treatment
Either you live in Russia or some other shithole, or you're talking out of your ass. Here in the east coast of the United States gay people are privileged. They make more money than straight people, and organize themselves into tribes where they support one another and live great, hedonistic lives.

>>85444172
just ignore it.

a lot of these people disappear off social media whenever there is backlash. which makes them look like they know they're wrong but too cowardly to face it. you don't wanna do that.

just keep tweeting, keep acting like literally nothing has happened even though they are spamming you. act like they don't exist. eventually they'll get tired and give up.
but acknowledging it will give them the attention they desire and they'll just get worse, because as we all know these people are never satisfied because the secret is they don't want to be. they want to eternally be victims so they have someone else to blame for their life failures.

>>85446430
The problem is that this is how these people actually think. They don't want representation equal to its appearance in nature, they want representation equal to some made-up ideal

>>85445143
