Huh

Apparently on tumblr the Rose war rages on! Well, not that I've seen any actual warring, but people seem to be under the impression that it's still warring. And raging. See example:

Because...the scourge of Doctor Who fandom in 2012 is Rose fans? But...yeah! This person sure showed someone! Somewhere. Maybe.

I think the reason it's always 2007 on Tumblr is because there's this constant influx of new fans who are just introduced to Rose vs Martha RIGHT NOW. And Tumblr encourages that kind of idiocy instead of squashing it out the way LJ's separate comms would.

Also, because everyone is 14 and an idiot.

They really should have that as their motto.

I AM STUCK AT 'SOUL REASON'.

My soul reasons that it's possibly time for coffee. Or some other caffeinated beverage.

It's their "soul" reason? Is that a typo or do they really mean it is the reason for their soul? Because in fandom, it could go either way, LOL.

Tumblr is an endless source of amusement and facepalming.

What continues to astound me (apart from the sheer stupidity and wrong on Tumblr) is how Rose pops up in DW conversations that don't really involve her?

Like there was a secret about Ten on F!S a few days or so ago. In the comments, the Rose-trashing began. Like, it was SO important to those posters to make their point and bash Rose to do it. IDGI.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-06-29 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I love how Rose magically appears like that. And it's never these magical mysterious rabid Rose lovers that turn up. I've always said that people who don't like her are waaaaaay more obsessed than people who do.

Ugh, this. And they always sound really pressed, that sometimes I wonder if a rabid Rose fan killed their puppy or something.

Lol you should know by now that some people find your existence bothersome, Michelle. And tumblr only facilitates EVERYONE INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER.

I've long wondered how tumblr is funded - there are no ads and no paid accounts - but now I think I know: it's a massive scale social experiment into people talking to people they hate about things they disagree on.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-06-29 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I would totally believe it's a social experiment. It's like that guy with all those rats in an enclosed cube.

Okay, apparently I've been tumblring wrong. It should be while drunk.

[identity profile] kammgirl.livejournal.com 2012-06-30 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well Tera said is correct. Rose is the best. Heh! I swear it's them that make Rose the most popular companion. They talk about her more then all the other companions combined. They seriously need to let it go.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-06-30 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I totally agree. :D

Maybe they can see timelines and they've been looking at 2007.

Ah, Tumblr where people write frothing, raging posts about all the haters and awful fans who are oppressing them but no one can ever find these fans. But it doesn't matter if we can find them - Rose is the reason we can't have nice things! Didn't you know? She is responsible for ALL the bad things. I get the feeling that Belle in Once Upon a Time has become that fandom's Rose. Poor girl. (They even have some similar relationship issues.) Maybe they should start a support group.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-06-30 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Really, Belle??? Why in the world would anyone not like Belle? SERIOUSLY. I mean...what?

Honestly, I just don't understand hating. It takes so much energy.

It's 106 degrees outside. Let's just love each other (and the fictional characters which mean so much to us), people!

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-06-30 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)

It's too hot to hate!

[identity profile] larissa-j.livejournal.com 2012-06-30 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's tumblr. This is the same medium where someone said Justin Beiber was bigger than Kurt Cobian because Kurt didn't have as big tumblr following. You can only take so much from tumblr before realizing the enitre trainwreck is, well, a trainwreck.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-06-30 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A trainwreck short a caboose, even.

Erm, that made more sense in my head.

Lol. I've actually seen more responses telling people to STOP THE SHIPWARS ALREADY than I've seen shipwar posts, but that might be because I only track minor & non-canon pairings.

But this is the reason Rose is everywhere, yes? The people who love her mention her now and then, the people who hate her cannot ever, ever stop talking about her.

It's a bit crazy. You'd think that after how many years now people would calm down a bit. XD
