I really don't think it influences the writers that much. I think the writers will do what they want to do regardless. They're too bombarded by spoby and ezria tweets. The lesbian ships probably make up a much smaller faction. So I doubt tweets make that much of an impact either way. I mean 90% of the fandom could probably care less about the lesbian ships. So the writers will care more about the spoby or ezria tweet impact. So hypothetically let's say they decide to stay with paily and all the emison fans bitch and moan and claim they will stop watching. The writers don't care because realistically that's probably at most 4% of the fandom compared to the heterosexual ships. So it's no sweat off their back. They don't care because the majority of the viewers will keep watching. If this was ezria it'd be a different story and they would probably give in to their demands. Even if you combined all the lesbian ships (paily, emaya, emison) that's probably still barely 10% of the fandom so that still doesn't have a huge impact. All I know is that they like Lindsey shaw and shay/Lindsey have great chemistry. Paige was only supposed to have a 3 episode arc, but the producers liked her and wanted to keep her on the show. Now that right there is what has an impact on the writers. No amount of fan manipulation is gonna change the way they feel about Lindsey shaw.
