My Thoughts On #SupergirlBlackout


This is a post that i honestly didn't want to make but since this hashtag thing has made me angry for not one but now two weeks in a row i thought i'd give you my thoughts on #Supergirlblackout.



Now i can guess that right now your thinking "i havn't heard of this hashtag i wonder what it's about" well let me tell you this whole hashtag started because actress Floriana Lima is no longer going to a series regular instead she's going to be a recurring character since the actress wants to pursue other opportunities which is fair enough however that hasn't stopped people from trying to get the actress to come back for more episodes.

I'm a proud Doctor Who fan and as fan of that show i can tell you the change that the people behind this stupid hashtag are going through is understandable that however doesn't make it right because by refusing to watch the show they are in turn hurting the show and increasing it's chances of cancellation which means that Maggie wouldn't be able to come back even if she wanted to.


This is something that's made me angry a few times now just due to the fact that the people who started this hashtag are now proving themselves not to be fans of the show and not only that they are missing some good television now if they want to protest that's fine tweet the creators of the show but do it with at least some knowledge go and actually find out why the person is leaving the actress herself has even said that her contract for the show was just for one season.

Now if you created this hashtag i'm now going to a take some time and talk to you if an actress wants to leave a show to make other things are to pursue other things then that's there choice and by boycotting the show or by telling the creators the only way you'll call this whole thing of is if they bring back said actress then it makes you and your "cause"seem selfish it's ok to love an actress but when you boycott a show there proud of then you don't come off looking good.


I apologize for this rant but it's something that i felt i had to get of my chest and i hope that this post helps change some of your minds anyway be sure to check out Supergirl it's worth it.
