To both of you who are "loving" season 4 so far, my advice to you is look at the plummeting ratings, start to realise that the show is performing the worst it ever has, and come back with real logic behind those answers other than you hate Lexa, lesbians in general, and or ship Bellarke.

Let's break down your point here:

That's not true whatsoever, the show is maintaining a .4 demo which is typical for any CW show. And social media wise, we've been trending almost weekly. This week, we even won Spoiler TVs top show.

Saying that people who were less invested or disliked Lexa's character si incredibly misinformed. I didn't care for Lexa as a character because I thought she was ruthless and manipulative (and that's what made me uneasy about her relationship with Clarke too) Her being valuable representation was one of the reasons I liked her quite a bit in season 2. And my biggest peve with Lexa is her fandom (ie you guys) who don't seem to be able to respect other people's opinions and are always trying to say that "I am right and therefore you are wrong."

And I do ship Bellarke, for the record, but that's not why I've been liking season 4. The pacing has been much better, the storylines are getting more development, the writing feels less rushed and sloppy, and rather than an enormous plot focus characters are being given solid development.

Your argument is also considered a false cause which is a fallacy and is incredibly flawed. You've basically said, You dislike Lexa must mean you  ship Bellarke, and therefore anyone who ships Bellarke must hate Lexa (which I can say for the record is NOT true at all, I know many Bellarke shippers who loved Lexa.)
