I saw that post. I thought it was hilarious because it showed how far they reach. At no point in the show were Patty/Linda/Iris shown to be jealous or insecure of CS. Patty said hi to CS then asked if she could talk to Barry alone. No jealousy. Linda asked if they were dating because she was interested in Barry. No jealousy. Iris was watching Barry and Caitlin argue and was trying to defuse the situtaion. No jealousy present. A classic example of seeing what you want to see. But Linda broke up with Barry because she knew he and Iris had feelings for each other. Patty knew enough to go to Iris about how to handle Barry. That is all canon
Yeah, exactly! I mean, it was just utter lies, which isn’t surprising coming from that fandom that twists everything into falsities. It’s also indicative of how low the bar is for them, and how they still manage to hit new lows. The issue for me with this post, specifically, is that it’s extremely misogynistic to make up lies like that to prop up this one white woman, who very clearly they treat as a self-insert, at the expense of other women. They’re obsessed with the idea of women being jealous of Caitlin, and it’s sickeningly misogynistic. They obviously especially project this onto Iris, and it’s absolutely the product of their own constant perpetuation of misogynoir, because they can’t stand the idea that their white male titular hero is head over heels in love with a Black woman and only has eyes for her always. They’re racist and misogynistic, and they also hold all these women’s worth wholly in proximity to this one man, including their so-called fave (they spend so much time lying through their teeth and perpetuating misogynoir against Iris, meanwhile TPTB has forgotten about their self-insert and swapped her out mostly for her alter-ego).
In Iris’s case, specifically wrt that post, obviously refusing to recognize that she’s Barry’s wife, and taking a scene of her literally watching Barry arguing with Caitlin and her trying to defuse the situation, because Iris is the only person who can get Barry to calm down and spinning it into this level of falsity is steeped in misogynoir. It’s disgusting.
