Hump Day Cynicism

You know, it's incredible what utter nonsensical shit people spew 'cause canon keeps going in a different direction than what they want, which somehow turns into a transparent attempt to belittle, bully and marginalize a subsection of fandom...and that people BUY it. They eat it up! O_O Not sure if I should be using a cynical mood or an amused mood. Too bad there's no pity mood. And I feel like hauling out, yet again, my exposure to Who fandom. For no apparent reason.

Again, Who fandom, you TOTALLY win as I just have never seen anything like this for any other fandom. Never. Nev. Er.

ETA: Have I ever pimped the oh_she_knows community in a post before? If you like the Doctor/Rose ship, head on over. There's been a lot of fantastic, and intelligent, discussion about the show. And even debate - debate *without* that bullying "you MUST see things my way or I'll throw a whole bunch of labels at you so that hopefully I'll get my way" element to it. Imagine that!

*cracks up*

Okay, this has been pointed out by several people on my flist and...

Doctor Who's idea of period clothing for the upcoming Christmas episode (promo pic).

*Actual* examples of clothing for that time period. (American examples, but British ones can't be *that* different.)

*waits for wiliqueen's eye to start twitching*

ETA: I do believe the clothing issue has now been solved in the comments. *shakes everyone's hands*
