nic i noticed your tags about different reactions to writing angst between kara vs lena's, is it that ppl don't see kara as a tragic character? (personally i think she has so much that could be unpacked, just differently from lena)
i think to a large extent the fandom favours lena, which isn't a bad thing. i love lena! who doesn't love lena? it just gets messy when people start to forget that characters are allowed to make bad decisions/mistakes.
i remember back when s5 was still airing, the hate for kara was at its peak. it was soooo bad. like i was already in war with the sg makeup/wardrobe department + kara's bangs, i didn't need to see the kara vs lena discourse added to the plate 😤
anon when you say people don't see kara as a tragic character - i think there's some truth to that. there's also just not overall caring about kara at all. which is okay & chill. tbh i don't blame people for not liking cwsg's kara! for the main star of the show, the quality of writing put in her was absolutely bonkers bro.
there's also another anon that made some points & they are so right!!!
so when two characters deal with conflict, bias comes into play. it's black & white & someone has to be the bad guy. i just think some people forget that conflicts can happen among people who really care about each other (kara & lena!!) & no one is a good guy or a bad guy. there’s no need to tear one down to prop up the other, it’s okay to accept that they’ve both done some unchill stuff. they're just struggling & hurting each other because of their own pain. anyways supercorp endgame
