(Although, industry rumor has it, he and the CW think the backlash is just a bunch of "bitter teens" and will die out. I might be bitter that a fantastic show was reduced to this drivel but I haven't been a teen in a long, long, time. Also, don't they know that teens grow up into adults with purchasing power?)

yeah i heard that too (and i had many things i want to say to that pile of nonsense but you know what, because i'm actually a bitter teenager and will forever be a bitter teenager, my word will never be taken seriously...ever.........) but the thing is...likd you said...it isn't just bitter teenagers. it really isn't. it isn't even limited to ~bitter lgbt* teenagers~ - it's family members and friends too. there's been over $50k donated to the trevor project - were they all really just raised by ~bitter lgbt* teenagers~? i don't think so. if they don't understand that...

...8))))))))))))))

and quite frankly, the way things are going, i don't think this will be dying out for a long time. there's still a remarkable amount of passion left, especially after 2 1/2 weeks (there was literally a trend involving........alycia yesterday i think? it may have not been centered around the lgbt issue but i'm willing to bet it was made by the same people) - it's pretty darn impressive. and actually i think it's a REALLY interesting phenomenon, what's going on - not just culturally, but socially as well. i was actually talking to my history prof about the entire concept behind grassroots democratic activism and if this isn't what might be the potential beginning of such a movement, then i'll eat my shoes.
