There is a certain section of fandom celebrating the reveal of Savitar as a version of Barry Allen because it feeds some ideas they have about ship they love (snowbarry) and ship they hate (westallen). There certain number of people using this moment to "prove" Barry doesn’t truly love Iris and that he cares about Caitlin more (I guess in the long run). I just keep thinking how it comes down to the worst case scenario and both characters worst nightmare and people are harp on this as if it’s some golden ticket ship thing. The standards for ship couldn’t be any lower. There is certain group of people out there who care so much about their two white faves standing next to each other more than they care about anything else. They are just so happy they are yelling “See this proves Barry doesn’t truly love Iris as much as the show claims he does! He clearly picks Caitlin over Iris! Savitar spends like 4 years raising hell with Killer Frost after he murders Iris! Westallen & Iris aren’t relevant because future Barry kills Iris and shacks up with Killer Frost!’ Obviously these shippers care more about their white faves standing next to each other then care about the characters of Barry and Caitlin themselves. Killer Frost is Caitlin’s worse nightmare. This is beyond OUR Barry’s worst nightmare and OUR Barry doesn’t ever want to kill Iris. He loves her more than life itself and this whole season has been about showing again and again how much OUR Barry loves Iris. For any Barry to kill Iris he destroys himself, the love of his life, his world, his family, and well his everything. These people are happy with twisted distructive Barry because it gets him to stand beside their favorite white girl and finally pushes down that black woman who they hate so damn much for being the leading lady over a woman woman.
There is terribly sad, twisted, sick version of Barry Allen doing unspeakably horrible things. Savitar!Barry is knows what our Barry thinks and feels but he’s nothing like him and he’s not our Barry. To murder Iris, destroy Wally, destroy his family,  kill countless others and just be outright evil that’s not the real Barry Allen. That’s some twist lost insane worst case scenario Barry Allen not our Barry Allen. That’s broken, lost, insane Barry Allen. And Caitlin Snow? She died! Her heart stopped beating. She had to be killed to get to this point. Killer Frost is her worst nightmare and this EXACTLY what Caitlin feared becoming. She told everyone she rather DIE than become Killer Frost. Julian’s selfish ass took her right live as she wanted away from her turning her into Killer Frost instead of honoring her wishes. Killer Frost keeps saying ‘Caitlin Snow is dead’. She’s doesn’t want to be Caitlin and she doesn’t want Caitlin to come back. If the team makes a cure for the meta powers, which apparently make her evil, and Caitlin Snow does come back do you think she going to just jump on Savtar!Barry’s dick? Or would she be completed horrified at everything she’s done as Killer Frost and return to her friends? She’ll be running Savitar!Barry as fast as she can the minute she has choice to be Caitlin & be with her friends or be Killer Frost and be Savitar!Barry. Killer Frost is still Caitlin Snow but it’s the worst part of her and generally it’s not who she wants to be. Whatever faults I find in Caitlin’s behavior as not always a great person, the fact remains to get her ass to side with Savitar!Barry she had to forced into being her worst self she didn’t want to be. But hey! if the only the worst parts of character remain (Killer Frost) and parts of character makes her ‘Caitlin Snow’ are for all intents and purposes is dead it’s shippers delight as long as she MIGHT have shot with evil insane Barry right? Fridging women totally helps ships to happen too. *rolleyes* 
So I hope all those shippers keep celebrating the worst versions of Barry Allen and Caitlin Snow standing beside each other like it actually means something. Like hold that shit dear because it’s best you are going to get. Its both character’s worst nightmare come true. Keep trying to spin this to some sort of plus for snowbarry. Celebrate the most broken, damaged, demented, evil, heartless, and horrible versions of Barry and Caitlin working together to murder and hurt the people they loved most and who loves them as A+++ ship magic. It isn’t any more ugly then all the celebrating Iris being murdered. People already revealed their racist asses so why not just finish it and reveal how much they don’t actually care about characters themselves they are shipping. You know because pumping Hannibal Bates\Caitlin kiss & Caitlin trying to kill Barry is killer signature freeze kiss as romantic doesn’t already show that. This Savitar!Barry/Killer Frost not like it’s ‘lolz AU evil ship fun’. No, it’s people going ‘Barry kills Iris so he doesn’t really love Iris which means Snowbarry!!!!’ They can go ahead and celebrate it because all it does is reveal what kind of people they really are.
