Well, Dan is a hypocrite for starters. He said "Don't watch the show for shipping" and now is doing iSeddie with the first 7 episodes of the season all revolving around the Seddie arc and Seddie A-Plots. That's making the show about shipping. So yes. He is a hypocrite. If he turns around and flips it so that Creddie comes back later, that's more hypocrisy.

So basically your question is: "Are people who are pointing out Dan's hypocrisy also being hypocritical themselves when they want an iSYL sequel instead of iSYL."

Well, my first point on this. iPyscho isn't a great episode. It made the cast look like idiots, Nora was annoying as hell without being particularly funny and it's just an average, forgettable episode. Of all the episodes this show has done, this is the one they choose to do a sequel on?

iSYL was a massive episode. It's the biggest rated episode of the show ever. Dan has pushed the focus of the show towards Seddie without bothering to resolve Creddie. He's left it stuck, trapped in a cage, walking along the side of the road whilst the Seddie train powers ahead of it.

People don't want to see Creddie 'resolved' by not being resolved and it simply vanishing.

iSYL's message at the end of the episode was "Carly and Freddie will revisit their feelings in the future." That's an indisputable fact. Freddie still wanted to be Carly's boyfriend. Carly's feelings could be real. That's what the audience was meant to take out of the show.

We don't want Freddie's feelings retconned out of the show and never ever brought up against whilst Seddie goes on. We don't want Carly and Freddie to have 'resolved' the issue off-camera, without us seeing it.

Carly and Freddie's feelings for each other deserve a real, heartfelt episode to deal with, regardless of what way it goes. It's been the core of Freddie's character for 4 seasons. He still obviously felt the way he does about Carly all the way up to iDo. That's just visible, canon text of Freddie's crush. Carly has always felt something for Freddie most of the time he gets involved with other girls. It might be possessive jealously and not 'love', but it's there. iPWV is just the latest example of this.

Creddie doesn't deserve to be shoved off to the side with a handful of lines sinking it, or to be completely ignored so Dan can force the Seddie arc without worrying about the way his characters have acted for the last 4 seasons.

Freddie loves Carly. No-one could ever really look at his behaviour and not feel that he loves her, for real. His crush grew. He would die for Carly. Then Freddie gave up on his relationship with Cary because he loves her and the idea he could be taking advantage of her was so repulsive he couldn't let himself stay with her with that hanging over him.

Freddie did that, and there is an expectation they would one day revisit their feelings.

Why is it so bad for the audience to expect that same thing to happen?
