guy who feels emasculated by women with strong personality

^ 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. -

I know what he did was badcheating on her with her sisterher sister was terrible because she did itthey both went through hell thoughIs that an excuse to cut them some slack? I think soboth went through hellish five yearsI would have a tears of joy if I saw my brother return after so long when I thought he was deadwe would communicate and solve our problems in a normal waybut Arrow-style is make Laurel mad and yell at her sister and make a scene
Then againAt Lance family dinnerWHY the hell would Sara bring Oliver with her?? Its so frustrating how stupid they act, Im talking to you writers! You cant take seriously characters like this. OF COURSE we know that Oliver goes to that dinner so that Laurel can make a scenewe all know thatis that a good storytelling? I will say this if someone would answer this question with YES I have no interest in talking to that person
So Laurel instead of being civilised starts a scene that is no different than those she was doing when she was sober so argument that she is an addict does not work here
All characters on Arrow are more than poorly written but Laurel is simply the worst, and Im sorry but Katie Cassidy is a terrible actress. She may have a famous daddy but thats about it. Her acting abilities goes perfectly on a soap operasbut wait a minute.
Like I said I want to love it but I just cant
Focus more on superhero stuff and hire better writers or cancel this show -

OH, so you FINALLY decide to cut Laurel some slack yourself and see how MAYBE other people were being dumb and borderline rude to her when she was already vulnerable, going through a delicate moment? And she was pretty happy with Sara's return, it wasn't the fact that she returned that made her upset and anyone who tries the slightest to get her can see that.
Either way, her drinking issues and antagonism didn't last much longer than half a season and even though that doesn't compare to what Oliver and Sara went through, that was a rough path for her and she does end up getting over it, coming out stronger, but I said it won't matter because you keep saying you didn't come here to hate on Katie and Laurel but that's exactly what you keep doing

Cutting her some slackonly proves how bad the writing is
There is ZERO logically of naturally thinking human on this showbut Laurel is the worst oneok?
I had no idea how toxic this fandom isI guess with all the drama on Arrow they are full of it as well -

I am sorry to hear you feel that way about Laurel. Some people like her and some people don't. The board is pretty split when it comes to people liking Laurel or Felicity and you will only find a few in between that are fans of both but with that being said, what are your thoughts on the male characters in the show. Who do you think is the most attractive? I personally thought Ray and Roy were and Ray has such a nice ass. Wouldn't you agree?

Arrow is the worst written tv show Iv ever watched! PERIOD!
Characters are illogical, over emotional and sometimes stupidsome more than others but Laurels logic and behaviour is sociopathic and even crazy. She is written the worst honestly.
Felicity relies on cute faces and awkward "jokes".
Im still in Season 2 and I am really struggling with it yet againwriting is really that bad
I am in love with Brandon Routh since he was Superman that man is just extremely gorgeous and Stephen is a huge cutie too
