I am The Bored.

[mrv3000]

So I saw this blog that listed their top and bottom 5 favorite New Who eps. The 6th comment down and we get to a full blown Rose Tyler rant. Ding! Okay, so that's not unusual. In fact, it's pretty much expected any time there's something to do with DW.

A bit more unusual, I've heard tale of a Rose rant a mere 3 comments in on a Torchwood post. Ding ding! (Probably having to do with the cow cube and how Jack would have totally loved the cow cube and Ianto if not for Rose Tyler's general craptitude.)

But I'm curious. (And The Bored.) Where's the weirdest place you've run across a Rose rant? (I'm snickering at the thought of a long political discussion and suddenly - BOOM - a Rose rant.)

There was an ONTD post a while ago about the guy who plays Ianto -- I always get his name wrong, the two-first-name thing screws wiht my mind -- and it rather quickly turned into HOW MUCH DOES ROSE TYLER SUCK?

To be fair it was Torchwood-related and so Whoniverse related, so it should've been expected, I guess.

But the original post had absolutely nothing to do with Rose, right? :D

Don't all posts having anything remotely to do with RTD, Who, Torchwood, David Tennant, Freema Agyemen, Catherine Tate or, I dunno, Cardiff end in Rose wank?

One time... just one time, I want to see Rose wank about roses themselves (and which species is a mary sue) rather than about... Rose.

Your icon is hysterically funny.

No. It was his letter or blog entry or whatever the hell about leaving Torchwood and COE and blah blah.

The chain of discussion went like
"OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY KILLED IANTO BAW"
"OMG I KNOW, IF RTD KILLS ANOTHER CHARACTER I WILL BE SO PISSED!"
and then I pretty much remember this one word for word beacuse of the "......." it inspired in me, anyway someone was like, "Not even if it was Rose Tyler? And she was eating her own liver?"
and then like 62936926 people agreed that obviously this would be awesome and omg why is she such a Mary Sue~ and HOW COME DONNA DIDN'T GET A HAPPY ENDING BUT ROSE GETS A STUPID CLONE!!! etc etc. My favourite part about JE is how half of the Rose fans don't think it was happy enough for her and half the Rose haters think it was too happy.

lol, I think they do. For this reason I have a new policy about not checking ONTD posts for things I actually like particularly much.

Thank you! I am quite fond of it.

She really really really can't win, can she? :D

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Rose Tyler? ;)

I saw a link to that on the meme. The Donna hate was stupid too. All I know is if characters irritate you that much watch another show.

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

I've seen Rose wank with people talking about AMC's remake of The Prisoner.

To which I say on the one hand, girl cooties have been all up in your scifi for decades so get the f*** over it, and on the other, the Doctor is never going to be your boyfriend so get the f*** over it.

Of course, my favorite wank is probably the Rose-haters who didn't know how to react to JE and eventually took to informing D/R fans that it wasn't a happy ending or even one that proved that the Doctor had any romantic interest in Rose whatsoever SO THERE.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I think they do.

And yes! Damn those Crimson Blushes!! The're SO CLINGY AND THE GROWER'S FAVORITE.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

NOPE.

I suspect it was her fault Ianto died in the first place.

I also like when Gwen hate turns into Rose hate because OMG THEY ARE BOTH RTD'S MARY SUES BAWWW.

Exactly!

Donna hate! How rare!

Fandom and logic are inherently incompatible.

WINNER!

JE was confusing to so many people. Are you supposed to hate it? But what if the other side hates it? Love it? But what if they change their minds and love it too? IT'S SO HARD TO DO FANDOM BATTLE.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Of course it was Rose's fault Ianto died! Rose made that bet with the Doctor to get the Queen to pull the stick out of her ass, and they got banished. And Torchwood was born. Thus, Ianto went to work for Torchwood. Thus thus, HE DEAD.

ALSO she made Jack immortal, which is why he was around to ~dazzle~ Ianto anyway, which is why people ship Jack/Ianto, which is why they like Ianto, which is why they were upset when he died.


That bitch.

[sunnytyler001.livejournal.com]

I will never understand why a character so well written, so human, with her qualities and her faults and so well played can be soooo hated.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA Actually, it's Nine's fault because he went back and got Jack instead of letting him die in The Doctor Dances.

So, you know, not so much.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yes yes!

Because if she hadn't done that, they'd have never met and...

Things are starting to fall apart here.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Maybe part of it is a backlash against how many people do like her? Or that sin of having the Doctor like her. I dunno.

I can understand simply not liking a character, but I don't understand the hate she inspires.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

Well you just tried to blame something on a male character that could easily be blamed on a female character. It's a rookie mistake, but I expect better.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

I think it is largely the second one. The love interest is always a stupid Mary Sue.

[sunnytyler001.livejournal.com]

Agreed. And why she's blamed for stuff she has really nothing to do with (Ianto's death, ...)... this is also a mystery...

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

::facepalm:: What was I thinking?

My distraction was totally Rose's fault. Yep.
