When you do, the horror of this situation may finally dawn on you. "Plumetting ratings"?

One, how does that effect how I feel about the show. Others people's opinions have no correlation to how I as a person feel about one of my favorite shows.

Also, the show isn't plumetting in ratings, but the comment above has illustrated already.

"Real logic...other than you hate Lexa, lesbians in general, or ship Bellarke" ?

Did you read my comment? I gave you reasons that have nothing to do with Bellarke/Clexa as to why I think S4 is doing good so far.

Based on your comment though, it seems that you are trying to say because I like Bellarke that this means that I am homophobic and hate Lexa.

Well, I am a Bellarke shipper, so that's right.

However, I have defended Lexa many times and if you really want to go into it, lesbians too as I am bisexual. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of her's in the beginning. I thought she was manipulative as she tried to make Clarke someone who didn't care about her people (I.e, the situation with Bellamy then inn TonDC). In S3, that completly changed. I realized that she was a decent leader who was trying to do what was best for people. I may not have like everything that she did (as I don't like everything that most of the characters do), but I respected her and was heartbroken when she died.

What you are doing is separating people. You are saying "I don't like your opinion so shut up" which is what makes being in the fandom so difficult. I'm tired of having to go through this with the damn ships. This show (like every other show) is more than their romantic relationships. This show is about moral responsibilties amd doing what you think you have to in order to survive. It's about rebuilding and having hope when you are lying on your face. It's about friendships and holding onto bonds when things in life test you. It isn't just about Clarke, Bellamy, or Lexa being your OTP.
