You know, when I was a kid in fandom and I saw a popular ship of, say, a 16 year old and a 25 year old, I was like “of course there’s nothing wrong with this! Age is just a number! Besides, it’s only 9 years!!!” But now that I am an adult, I’m on the other side of that age gap, and frankly I am disgusted. If you’re a teenager, trust me I get it- it’s really easy to see that as ok especially if your identified as “mature for your age” but let me tell you it is not. It is not ok for an adult to be in a romantic or sexual relationship with a child. At all. That adult is 100% taking advantage of that teenager and is competently aware of what they’re doing and it’s gross.

THIS, EXACTLY THIS.

Seriously, was I the only one who really wanted Kara and James together?

I’m kind of surprised by the near unanimous consensus from the critics that this breakup (can we call it a breakup if they didn’t actually date?) was a good thing or that James is a dud character? Have I been watching a different show?

Kara was instantly physically attracted to James. James makes Kara smile. James knows what Kara likes. James and Kara trust each other. James has known about Kara being Supergirl since before the pilot, thus relieving her of the stress of lying to someone she cares about and is interested in having a romantic relationship with. James is endlessly supportive of Kara, but doesn’t put her on a pedestal, and as such is able to call her out on bad decisions and help her work through issues. James and Kara have been shown time and time again to care about each other, protect each other, and be attracted to each other. Kara was jealous of Lucy, because “[She’d] be jealous of anyone [James] loved.”

And yet Supergirl has now decided that Kara and James “are best as friends”. That their relationship somehow felt forced. (x)

There’s no reason Kara shouldn’t take time for herself, to explore this new job opportunity, and find a way to balance work and her personal life. But there’s also no reason why that would mean her ESTABLISHED romantic interest in James would disappear. Also, the idea that James and Kara couldn’t maintain the loving support of their friendship while in a romantic relationship is ridiculous. It’s a failure on the writers part if they couldn’t see a way to advance their relationship and create realistic obstacles for them to overcome, and instead decided to throw away the entire buildup of their relationship in season one in a few patched together scenes in one episode.

#and lmao PRETTY RACIST LET’S JUST SAY IT

I was not a James / Kara shipper, but this is garbage. No reason for them to backpedal on a well established relationship!! That’s just bad writing.
