100% And yes, i'm still seeing quite a few 'Boycott The 100' posts on Twitter and Tumblr.. which is beyond pathetic. I don't understand why this is such a big deal?? That's how it works: you don't like a show, you stop watching....

It's not just that people want to stop watching the show, which is totally fine. It's that people are going to continue watching the show live, but illegally, so it gets cancelled which is kind of. . . shitty? Like, you don't have to like the show or even keep watching, but don't go out of your way to get it cancelled.

And they've actually pressured other people who didn't want to necessarily stop watching the show into joining the boycott. Some people seem to think that if you still want to watch the show after Lexa died, you're homophobic or something.

Also, the petitions to get JR fired (which I would personally like but) and the "bring Lexa back" petition are kind of stupid. . . sorry, but I really don't think there's any chance that Lexa can be "brought back" just like that. In the CoL maybe, assuming it isn't destroyed this season.

Not to mention that a band of people are now rating every The 100 episode on IMDB as one star going forth, to turn off potential viewers. They managed to bring episode 7 down from 9 point something to 4.8 last I checked. Some are sending death threats to writers. It's all getting out of hand.

I mean, I understand that people are upset and they feel used which really sucks - I wish the writers handled the situation better - but it's kind of pathetic to dedicate your hours into taking down a TV show you didn't like when you could be looking for another one you do like. Not to mention a complete waste energy. If the show gets cancelled, it's not going to be because of IMDB ratings or a petition. . . just saying.
