Reasons to Boycott 4x16 “Run, Viris, Run”

March 13th is coming up and if you're tired of being disappointed in the show like me, you have an idea of what I'm gonna say. But if you don't know if you should watch the episode, here are reasons why you should skip it and use your time wisely.

1. It's Viris-centric. Haven't we had enough of those? The entire Season 3 was about WA and Viris' death story line, that should have happened. They could have gone with so many other things as they had Flashpoint their disposal, but Viris and WA are the reasons why the show has dropped in quality. Season 4 highlights the worst of Viris as a character. 4x16 is nothing but fan service, how good does that make you feel? Why bother giving them your attention? Next. 2. The show uses us (Snowbarries, non shippers, regular viewers) for ratings, trends and anything else they can publicly brag about. Don't know about you guys but I hate having my intelligence repeatedly insulted. That's how it feels whenever I watch a new TF promo only to be cheated over for more Viris shoehorning and WA garbage. I didn't sign up for that. They’ve recently tried to manipulate us into watching their shitty show by releasing several promo pics of Cisco, Caitlin/KF, Barry, even used E3 Jay and Jesse to try and loop us in to watch. Watch 4x15 and tell me I'm lying. The entire story line was catered to once again, "making Viris the hero" and Barry no longer the main hero of his own show. Barry himself, a scientist, Harry, a scientist, Cisco, a scientist, Caitlin, a scientist, Jesse, a scientist, Jay, a tactical mind of science, how did all of these people not know how to solve this problem? Yet someone who has never studied the field and has mocked science on many occasions knows exactly what to do? I think not. 3. More Caitlin/Killer Frost and Snowbarrisco sidelining. Season 4 is already written in the can and it doesn't look like much is changing in terms of the team dynamic. Viris should have never been team leader but she remains so for some unknown reason. Why exactly are we still watching a show tailor made for a racist hate group? It's no longer the show we loved, accept it, find better things to do with your time next week. 4. Greg Berlanti’s return has changed nothing. It's like AK never left. The fact that people are saying, hoping, wishing for things to be undone, it seems like Greg has no real power over the situation. He's supposed to be "the guy who fixes things," instead he is the guy who continues paying tribute to the disgusting pervert AK abhorrent ideas. Keep that in mind the next time you think of watching it live. 5. The show is forcing Danielle, Grant, Tom and Carlos to promote a show they no longer star in. Let's face it, the show is no longer called "The Flash" anymore. When was the last time Barry held more screen time than his relationshit WA? Viris? Watching Grant on his SM promote something he doesn't even like is just sad. Seeing Danielle almost beg us to watch is equally depressing. Tom rarely if ever promotes the show, we understand that. If the cast is no longer into it, why should we? They are forced by their contracts to make us watch. Shouldn't the good writing speak for itself? Why must the show runners put these guys through the ringer over politics and useless characters like Ralph and Viris? 6. The only people who are happy are the racist Viris stans/WA/Gra*dice bitches. They still remain only 8% of the entire fandom. Try looking through TF tag on twitter during the live airing and just read what people who are non shippers say. Is it positive? Hell no. People hate what is going on. The only ones who praise the show are the ones destroying it. The reason why it “trended” for less than an hour on 3/6 had solely to do with the marketing team manipulating the viewers by promising a great episode with Jay and Jesse. They've done this before, disguised the look of an episode to coax you into watching. Why give them our time and patience if they're just going to lie to us at the end of it? 7. CP is doing something on purpose to stay on this long and it isn't delivering a great performance. She's got dirt on one of the crew members, AK, Berlanti himself, or is just going to shovel out the race card because she can. This is the world we live in. I can't help but think a contact, hers, was being negotiated bts and some drama is going on, now we're all paying the price the longer she is on the show. 8. The racism card is the only reason why WA/Viris/CP have lasted this long. Think about it. Grant is no longer on twitter, why? How many times do you think he was sick of racistallens calling him a racist for defending Danielle or himself? We live in a world where it's apparently OK to brand someone a racist without knowing a thing what it is. The handful of people (about 5) who called CP racist slurs are long gone, who knows if that was actually WAs pretending to send hate? But DP and Grant have gotten racist hate every day. Danielle mutes and Grant has blocked his comment section on IG. CP receives virtually no racist hate no matter what her stans make her believe. Eventually something has to give, Berlanti can't keep this going for long. One person can't have complete say in the direction of the show this popular. He needs to man up. Why support the show of a man with no balls or initiative? 9. Danielle has done a hell of a lot more to influence the DCEU with Caitlin/KF than CP does with Viris. Killer Frost is no longer a villain in the comics. They are casting her in The Flash solo movie. They already cast an Iris, but her scenes were cut because Joss Whedon says, "she adds nothing to the narrative but emotional drama." My sentiments exactly. People are too familiar with the CW version of Viris, the decision no doubt had a lot to do with the final cuts of JL. 10. Grant's acting suffers the more scenes he shares with CP. Watch, really watch the WA scenes (if you can) and watch Grant's receiving end of the performance. In acting "you're only as strong as your sparring partner." Anyone who acts or studies acting knows this to be true. Grant is not a bad actor but he is docile around CP because she is the weak actress. Yeah I said it. And no, it ain't racist. CP has had 4 seasons to give us one, just one good performance she has none to show for it. Grant is a great actor, but not around a terrible actress like CP. Why would we care to watch more of a bad thing in 4x16? Bye Felicia. Conclusion...I'm going to skip it and probably skip future episodes because I just don't care anymore. The show is no longer fun to watch, I have to search for reasons to stick around. It's becoming a chore and I despise what it has turned into. You guys have fair judgements. It's a free country, do what you want, but you guys have been warned. My advice: don't watch, don't talk, tweet/trend the show name, don't @ the writers about how bad their writing is, they just don't care. Politics will always win and it has here. You're best bet is binge watch something unique on Netflix. Make The CW pay for all the shit they've put us through. For all the times they’ve rewarded bad behavior and continue to. Think about all the times you were stalked, bullied and hunted down in your own personal space by WAs and Viris stans before you consider giving this episode a chance. It's not worth it.
