^^^Honestly, that argument makes no sense to me.

Making this a Creddie arc would not increase ratings and thinking so is highly illogical. If anything, I believe the lower ratings have more to do with the general audiences apathy towards an over abundance of iCarly romance, than it does with "which" ship is happening. I've seen the argument of "Most people hate seddie but love creddie. If this was creddie the ratings would be amazing."

Making that assumption is ridiculous. I feel like it's something that some creddier's fall back on to make themselves feel better. They're already dealing with the blow of Seddie actually happening, so they have to come up with some way to steal its legitimacy.

Yes, the ratings haven't been great. In fact, they've been INCREDIBLY poor (by iCarly standards), but it has nothing to do with Seddie happening and Creddie not happening. Us hardcore shippers, we make up a rather small amount of the viewers. In fact, I think that right there is part of the reason for low ratings. Seddie fans and casual viewers who enjoy it are probably a smaller segment than the more general audience of younger kids who simply don't care about the romance at all (creddie OR seddie). If you lose their attention, THATS when you have problems.

Who's opinion really matters? That, oh, 7-13 age demographic. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, if I'm being honest, I think they matter more than a handful of miffed, hardcore shippers.
