Arrow : Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

Stephen's wall has been full of angry Oliciters lately, and here is one of the more loquacious (and angry!) ones.

Stephen is cool as usual, but still manages to convey a pretty strong message with regard to the Olicity the shippers' complaints about "hidden agendas" and alleged "misogyny":


Hey Pepper -- first of all, I'm not sure why this is hidden on my page. Nobody has access to visitor posts other than me and I don't delete or hide anything unless it's spam or a personal attack. This post is neither, obviously. That being said... we are still having difficulty with visitor posts. I don't know why. Second, I don't know that I'll be able to respond to this in a manner that won't seem pithy in comparison to such a lengthy, fleshed out note. But I'll try... You can look at anything and extrapolate meaning. As an example, the idea that the Oliver / Felicity flashback was a last minute add-on. Not true. That scene was in there from the beginning and - quite simply - there is no angle to it beyond the advancement of the story for that particular episode. No appeasement. No teasing. Nothing. It was just a scene and a fun one at that. A lot of the overtones that you talk about in your post whether you're discussing the relegation of female characters or my perceived personal motivations for the current story honestly leave me baffled. Now, this is where people might say, "you don't see these things because you're part of the problem"... and again, I don't know what to do beyond shrug my shoulders and say, I'm just a guy trying to do his best on a show. And that's where people take that comment and say, "you're demeaning the shows importance to us"... and again, I can't win that one. So what am I trying to stay - in the most respectful way possible. Well, we do our best. Every single day. And while I understand that this show can represent something deeper and more meaningful than just a television show, I'd caution people against constantly searching for hidden agenda's or sadistic overtones that simply aren't there. Some people will like one storyline or direction over another and that's fine, but assuming that anything which deviates from your personal preference is an attack against that ideology is wrong. That's not the business we're in. So... thank you for your note, and I'm sorry that the show doesn't speak to you in the same way it used to. Maybe it'll find its way back to your preferences and maybe it won't. All my best, SA

Come on, El, there are just as many nut job comics fans.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

She is a confirmed Stemily fan and hates on Stephens wife, calling her Voldy. If only he knew this fact when he responded to her. What a complete bitch!

Damn shame, but at least some managed to tell the truth.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

He's a pretty cool guy, he's addressed all kinds of fans whether they are shipper fans or not who have been rude or uncalled for and always does it respectfully. If they are extremely offensive he just blocks or deletes them and just asks people to not be like that person.

Just a girl in the world

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

I think this is really a note to anyone who's been displeased with the show in the last year.

Which has been everyone, for varying reasons.

In fact, if I had a spare 10 minutes this morning?

I could track down something from a comic fan that would sound just as entitled.

But then, since it's a comic show (that's never followed canon), I suppose they wouldn't be seen as 'taking things too seriously'.

How is this funny? What's funny about bullying someone? And then you turn around and accuse her of bs...

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

They won't see they're wrong. That would mean they have to apologize, and very rarely have I seen Laurel fans apologize.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

Thank you. :) They'll never admit they're bullying, because it would acknowledge how much worse they look than me for ganging up the way they do.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

Oh yea and you do no bullying ever. Fact if not for this board you serve no purpose in life GeekyBriggs. You are just a miserable person trying to bring other people down.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

Now that's enough !

Your insults just prove you are the idiot and I hope many will tell you so.

You are a horrible person.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

And what I said is 100 percent true. Same goes for you. Your priority for 2017 should be spending less time on this board and more time in the real world.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

I don't even care to reply to this. If you fail to see the difference between intellectual argument and tearing down a person, you're not worth it, you're not worth much as a human to tell the truth.

Oh I am worth much more than you will ever be. I do not spend my life discussing fictional characters 24/7 unlike you. Oh yea you really live in the real world.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

And you still don't understand I am replying to a part of your post, the only one I care about. Which only proves you should practice what you so liberally preach to others and go back to school.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

If this is what you consider going after a bully, I'd prefer not to have the help.

Next time, try to mock me a little less obviously. You'll look less like a bully, yourself, that way.

Oh, and continued attempts to mock me will only prove my point. And that of my new friend. So unless you want us to be 100% right, you might want to find that maturity you seem to have misplaced.

Good to see you take the advice of acting your shoe size to heart...

I've been constantly in the red for three weeks or so now. Can't say I remember what IMDB looks without.

Yes, I fail to see where I was mocking her in any way in my responses to Rinzzler, but some mysteries must be preserved. Sometimes, the fun is in the indecipherable. 😄

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

You mean taking pieces of what I said to other people and using them in a mocking manner to the board troll wasn't meant to make fun of me?

Since I could see no other use for it, you'll pardon me for not seeing it's purpose.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

So, some very common words belong exclusively to you ? Pardon me for knowing no other way to say what I said, Your Highness.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

I'm not just talking about the words, thought thank you for being so predictable. No, it was the phrasing, and as it sounds just like things I've said to other people, I can be forgiven for thinking it was about me, because PHRASING.

How about instead of acting like I'm out of line for thinking it was me, you acknowledge that it's easy to make the mistake without being snarky and move on?

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

Let's do this : see whatever you want to see in my post and go on feeding your victim syndrome by perverting my meaning. The people I care for on this board know it was an honest reaction to a low blow, that's the only thing that matters to me.
Anyway, if I were to copy somebody's phrasing, which requires a feeling for the language I do not possess, it wouldn't be yours, trust me.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

You never disappoint. As always, being called out, you deny it.

But then, you and the fellow bullies you care about always do that.

And until the pack of you quits stalking me, that's what I'll call you. Particularly those I have on ignore who are aware of that fact and still try to get a response, anyway.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

You hi the nail right on the head.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

You generally annoy most people on the board, with your inane prattling and baseless accusations. I accept that.
You put several of us on /ignore, because you can't handle being called out on your BS. I can also accept that.
You attack Whodat, arguably our kindest member, calling her a bully. That's crossing a line, but I gave it a pass as well, because she's more than capable of defending herself.
But now, you co-opted Archer (2009) for your rants... and that's something I just cannot accept. You're the lowest of the low.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

I may be older but I'm neither blind nor senile : I read your message when you posted it previously, understood it perfectly and, though I guess your motivation, don't see the use of posting it again.

It's not because you copy-paste your judgement again and again that it will be any more relevant.

This is me having found a still-open tab on my computer and hitting refresh.

But the judgement I'm seeing over an honest mistake reinforces my feelings on this board in general.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

If this fits your definition of bullying, you've lived a sheltered life.

Re: Stephen Amell's response to an Oliciter FB rant

I've been sexually assaulted twice, watched my mom become hooked on opiates for a few years before finally getting clean, had my uncle struggle with drugs most of his life - be in and out of jail - before relapsing and overdosing [and dying] a year & a half ago. I've had friends be victims of rape/sexual assault, try to kill themselves...

My life is the furthest thing from sheltered, and it's because of my experiences that I won't sit back and watch others be bullied - and yes, that's what you guys are doing to Almira. You clearly relish in having a go at her, trying to upset her.

If she's the cause of all these problems like you say, then you would just block & ignore her completely! But you don't, because you guys obviously enjoy acting like a bunch of schoolyard bullies.
