User blog comment:SeddieWarrior/Freddie Didn't Pity Sam/@comment-3247345-20111014075137

You're totally right. Your analysis is thourgh, and it makes total sense. I really don't think Freddie would have dated Sam if it was pity. He wouldn't have dated her if he didn't have some kind of feelings for her. He knew she'd just end up getting hurt in the end if he dated her out of pity. Freddie does not want Sam to get hurt. He's just not a jerk like that. I think that claim can be easily disposed of even without this analyisis. The claim simply has no factual basis. Why would the Creddie shippers think up something like this with no facts to support it? Simple. Right before iOMG, Creddie was all but dead. Sam kissing Freddie and dating him (more importantly the way Carly supported their relationship thoughout the arc) really drove that home. They were simply deluding themselves into believing that Freddie doesn't love Sam. As horrible as iLove You was, it clearly proved that claim wrong. As far as Sam getting hurt by Freddie dating her out of pity, that is sort of related to a very unfortunate fact. The fact is that a lot of Creddie shippers would love to see Sam get hurt, crushed, broken etc. for the purpose of making Creddie happen (more like bringing it back from the dead). And I know for a fact some Creddie shippers feel that way because I've seen them trash Sam and talk about how horrible they think she is. For me seeing Sam get hurt like that is nightmare scenario. That would be more heart breaking than the iLove You breakup. It's sad that they would wish that on Sam because she's such a great character. I think the reason they feel that way is that she's in the way of Creddie. The fact is there's a much bigger obstacle to Creddie than Sam. That obstacle is that Carly does not like Freddie as more than a friend. She never did and she never will. That's the biggest obstacle to Creddie, not Sam.
