guy who feels emasculated by women with strong personality
This argument is soooo overused.
And in my case youre wrongWhats bothering me is bad writing and acting so "masculinity so fragile" and "scared of strong women" is stupid. I am a huge fan of female characters. Have you noticed my avatar? And I kind of identify better with female heroesif theyre done right
So yes you can disagree with me but this "emasculation" argument is rude and straight up retarded -

If you're bothered by bad writing and acting, I suspect that you will dislike Felicity's season three and four storylines as much as you dislike Laurel's. -

You're not going to enjoy the rest of the show much.
As for Laurel, she gets (much) better when they run out of ideas to screw her up. Unfortunately, that means she's no longer needed in the show (by their standards).
Time will tell how it ends up.
You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

show gets sometimes pretty solid like with Sara and her Nyssa story lien Im just watching but all the CW drama tears it down so low
Laurel is really written, and imo even acted, so badly, she does not act like an adult human, she finds out her sister is alive and first thing she does is to blame her for everything whats happened..
Normal people have a conversation, especially family membersbut id does not go only for Laurel but her characters, as in a writing department, get the worst treatmentShe is so bad
This show desperately needs to lower its drama ratio and hire new writers who write them as human beings -

^ well her sister was sleeping with her boyfriend, and she did find out while both were deemed dead, that's going to put you in an emotional roller coaster. Laurels situation was polarizing to begin with. The way they wrote the "love triangle" is the writers fault rather than Laurels fault.
If anything she's a much more likeable character than Oliver and Sara though. Those two people come off as almost disgusting with their choices and actions. -

Writing on this show s terriblethe romantic partbut you have what..30% superhero stuff and 70% romance/dramaI dont know about you but Im here for the latter
All characters on Arrow make idiotic choicesall are overly emotional.and characters of Laurel has it worst because she has nothing else to do then stir the drama and conflict straight out of high school drama movie
I would LOVE to enjoy Arrowverse in its entirety but so far Arrow is the weakest link -

^ that was just one part of her story though. Alcoholism is a real thing, and with her family history and the constant emotional trauma can you blame her turning to alcohol? People don't have sympathy for a woman being portrayed as vulnerable? But when a white rich good looking guy has an affair with his girlfriends sister he gets a pass?
This show has a lot of sexism when it comes to the fans. -

I have sympathy to addiction and alchoholism. But there is no connection to those things with being a hero. I find JJ to be bigger hero while drinking but still trying to help and save people. She does not blame anyone, she takes her own responsibilies and tries to fix things.
On the contrary Laurel emptied a gun in a guy wearing the skull mask because she thought he was Blood and she wanted to kill him.
My point is that you can drink and still be a hero, but with Laurel this wasn't the case. -

^ I don't see how the alcoholism is a way to become a hero in this instance? That was a writing choice. It was a pure human response to emotional trauma like I said, the death of Tommy and her sister coming back from the dead. Again understandable in Laurels circumstance.
Again can you blame Laurel for having an aggressive response to Blood/Skull mask. She was kidnapped by a man in a skull mask.
