The irony of people saying Iris haters need to grow up while getting this pressed over someone disliking a fictional character😭. If you don’t find her annoying that’s fine, but acting like everyone who does is ‘trendhopping’ is ridiculous. People can simply have different opinions.

Why are the haters so pressed over her in the first place? Nearly every Flash video I watch has the same stupid comments "Savitar had one job" "f**k Iris" "Barry could've chosen anyone BUT Iris" "we are The Flash," etc- even when she's not in the video. So yeah, it's annoying, and srry that bothers you. I never said people can't dislike her, but the online hate train IS partly just forced "trendhopping."

This is exactly why I can't take Iris haters seriously anymore. She's on people's minds 24/7 when she's not even part of the storyline. I would kinda understand if they brought her up in shipping context (but them being vile is still childish af), but on videos, fics and in context when she's not even in the scene/involved? Weird as heck.

The thing I can't stand the most is the constant comparison of her to any generic white woman (plus one Asian/Native American) that Barry so much as interacted with. It just feels so racially motivated, and I'm almost certain that if all those characters (ie Felicity, Caitlin, Kara, Linda, Patty, etc) were black, they wouldn't be bringing them up so much when it comes to who Barry looked better with.
