Oh Who fandom, I hate so much about the things you choose to be.
I'm not even joking though, I think Who fandom is the craziest, most pretentious, and meanest of all the fandoms I've seen. Sure, Roswell fandom was full of ship wars and nuttiness but there was never meta about how evil GINGERS are. Dear lord.
I agree with so much of what you said in your post that I can't even choose what I agree with most. But if I had to choose it would be this conception that Martha is second best because the Doctor never had romantic feelings for her. Because, God knows, that's the only way you judge a lady?
Martha had a lot going for her. She was cool and smart and wore weird hairstyles and had a leather jacket. (I feel these last two are very important :P) She did not need the Ten's validation to make her "the best". o_O Seriously, fandom? Seriously?
You can't have feelings for everyone (although apparently the Doctor is supposed to?) and he just didn't see Martha that way. He liked her a great deal and, despite the overall opinion of fandom, WAS fairly nice to her. Nine was never always nice to Rose either. In fact the Doctor was short with Rose on several occasions, but I guess that's ok in the eyes of fandom because she was just a stupid shopgirl? GAH!
I really hate this fandom. Saying you didn't *love* Martha, and that you're a fan of Rose and D/R is basically the equivalent of saying "I'm crazy! Disregard my opinion!" in this fandom. o_O
I wonder how much hate is gonna come Donna's way? For all the complaining that the fandom did about how Rose fans should "get over it" when she left , they're sure complaining a lot about Martha and I've seen some downright nasty things about Donna ALREADY from Martha fans.
This fandom makes me so sad. The pretension, IMO , is just off the charts. O_O It's a show about low budget *aliens*. Perspective?
Also didn't that article that everyone is wanking out over also screw up several details, including episode details? So really, who knows what RTD ACTUALLY SAID? Why do you fail me Who fandom?
