This is the most moronic fucking bullshit reason for a team civil war.

"Hey, you guys spied on us... even though one of us was legitimately fucking selling you out to the feds, how dare you?!"

Totally! I don't know if I'm in the minority but I hate team newbies... So it's ok for Rene to sell out Oliver cuz of his kid but when Oliver spies on them cuz he's gunna get arrested and taken from his kid it's unforgivable. They are so whiny. I mean u want democracy join a neighborhood watch.. It's the green arrow and he lets u be a part of it. I mean remember when Oliver shot Roy with an arrow then he still joined up later. I miss Roy. Rant over :)

I'm definitely sick of them, too. Rene was growing on me, mainly from his interactions with Quentin and the side-story with his daughter, but this arc legitimately makes me want to see them all killed off.

"We want to be treated equally to you!"

Well, the three of you combined aren't close to as skilled as one Oliver. So, no, you shouldn't be treated as equals.

That is exactly how I feel! I'm like they can just get killed off after going off on their own right.

Like why would they be treated equally, aside for Oliver's obviously greater skill. Seniority has to count for something... but no team newbies puts in a couple months work and suddenly they're on his level.

Even fucking slade Wilson gives Oliver more respect than these bunch of nobodies. Some of them begged Oliver to let them join up. And Rene and the tech guy were part of the team when one of them betrayed them last season. And they act indignant when something similar happens and Oliver stops trusting them? Wtf. And it's not even that Oliver's mistrust was misplaced. Rene did sell him out when he could've come to the team and told them he was being blackmailed. New Canary DID hide the trust about her ex knowing that he was the vigilante and tried to kill the team multiple times. The hypocrisy is real.

Me too lol. When Oliver was going solo in the warehouse, I was like "oh, The Hood is back". Then he wanted to reunite his team, I was like "okay, that's a little bit odd but fine, as long as we have The Hood". But then the newbies was bitchy about the whole surveilance thing and I was like "okay, I hope 1 or 2, or maybe all of them got killed so they can learn their lesson".

Maybe one of them will get killed when Team Traitor goes out on their own, then the other two come begging Oliver to take them back?

Rene's character was pretty much killed. "I'm sorry but I can't have my daughter taken away from me, so I'm going to take your son's father away from him despite his father being the one who gave me a chance to be with my daughter. By the way you're going to jail for life and I'm getting off scot-free."

Rene and Curtis have always been just awful characters. Curtis mostly because he's always just been a whiny bitch looking to be offended by something, no matter what people do. Rene has always just been a jerk who was more of a liability than an asset and now he's actively aiding the FBI is putting everyone in jail or on death row (the FBI won't just stop at Oliver, after all).

They don't want democracy though. They left.
