Well as far as I know they have managed to also mess up Arthur/Merlin's friendship by regressing to the point they were in the beginning of season 1, which is the show's biggest fanbase. Instead of writing them well they have Arthur be a jerk to Merlin and they think that they can make it up to the audience by giving them obviouslt planned slashy hints. The fact that they weren't planned was what made them fun you doofuses.
So the writers have managed to piss off Arthur/Merlin fans, Arthur/Morgana fans and Merlin/Gwen fans. IDK why they thought this kind of writing was a good idea
ETA: I don't want shipping wars
I don't even hate Gwen. I hate what they did to the show to fit Arthur/Gwen. But since I'm no saint I will rejoice in the bad writing A/G is getting
