I think I must perhaps avoid much of the Martha hate because of not being part of any D/R shippy comm, because I haven't seen that much of it? But it feels like every LJ post squeeing over recent pics of Martha has had digs on Rose and BP in the comments, and just urgh
I'm a member of a D/R shippy comm and I never see any Martha hate over there. I think most of the Martha hate is in a few close garded circles on LJ whereas Rose hate is the socially aceptable one and is therefore seen in the more general comms.
And god yes, I so relate to that. I always get the impression that I will automatically get more respect if I use a Martha icon instead of a shippy Rose icon. Which kind of sucks
Yeah, that's a really sad comment on the state of our fandom :(
I think you had an amazing idea when you mentioned a Martha and Rose comm. The fact that there isn't already one makes me sad. I know there are many people in fandom who like ourselves love both characters, but always get burried under the ton of hate that's poisoning the fandom.
