Anna Govert: ‘Why didn’t Kara get to have a classic Arrowverse romance on “Supergirl”?’

From Culturess:

It’s perfectly natural for Kara to long for a partner for herself, yet the show refused her only viable option. During season 5, Supergirl shot down the possibility of a romance between Kara and William after a single date, and Kara’s other love interests had both been written off the show in previous seasons. Due to the process of elimination, it was Lena or nothing. 

And they chose nothing....

As unfortunate as it is, we just have to call a spade a spade here: Kara wasn’t allowed a final love story because her only viable option was a woman. It’s extremely upsetting that this is still the reality in 2021. Especially because the series built so much of itself on the heavy-handed queerbait weaved into every scene Kara and Lena had in the series.
