*hugs* I hate that if I make too many remarks defending Rose, people may label me a "batchipper". And if I make a comment defending Martha, some crazy D/R comm will put a black mark against your name. Not that I would even want to join, but just the idea of people being judged on whether or not they have "conflicting interests" is depressing.
As I've had issues with being judged over "confilcting interests" I definitely get what you're saying. I adore Rose, and I don't hide it but sometimes it gets hard to get your point across in fandom when you have a D/R layout and tons of Rose icons. It's also hard to explain to people that I also love Martha, because it screams "DOES NOT COMPUTE" to a lot of people.
There should be a community for people who are fans of both Rose and Martha! At least that way I could join in the squee over Martha, without inevitably stumbling across Rose hate of some kind or another. This fandom gets me down *sighs*
I would so be into that. I'm a member of a D/R comm, a Rose comm, a Billie comm, a Martha comm and a Freema comm but everywhere I go I watch my steps not offend any parties all the while being scared of walking in on someone bashing another character I love. It's kind of exhausting :( I'd totally be first in line to join a Martha and Rose love zone comm.
