Ariana Fierra: ‘When It Comes to Kara and Lena, the “Supergirl” writers say one thing and do another’

From Hypable:

On Supergirl season 2, Lena Luthor was introduced to the show and became close friends with Kara Danvers. It wasn’t long before fans of their “relationship” began to emerge, mostly due to the natural chemistry between the two actresses.

This isn’t the fault of anyone, nor is it a bad thing, but people were still, of course, disappointed when the people who worked on the show — both writers and actors alike — said there would never be a romance between Kara and Lena.

Personally, I’m not invested in any of the couples on the show. Sure, there are some I enjoy more than others, but as long as both people are happy and the relationship isn’t toxic and unhealthy, I’m pretty indifferent. The reason I mention this is because a common rebuttal to this type of take — on LGBT fans being taken advantage of — is often just dismissed as diehard fans of a couple simply twisting dialogue and scenes to fit the narrative they want.

But that isn’t the case. Fans of Kara and Lena aren’t just grasping at straws. (And this is all coming from someone who truly doesn’t care who any of the characters end up with as long as it makes sense for the story.)

So if people who aren’t invested in this relationship, like myself, can interpret moments between “Supercorp” as romantic, then imagine how the LGBT audience, who want nothing more than these two women to be together, feels.
