Martha Jones and the Fandom Double Standard
fuckyeahdoctormartha:
“Martha Jones. Sure she helped The Doctor out a lot, but that was only on the rare occasion when she wasn’t whining about how he doesn’t love her. Seriously, just shut up. 10 belongs with Rose not you. It was obvious very early on that he was not into you. You should have just stopped moaning about how The Doctor doesn’t like you and appreciated the fact that he even let you come with him.
13. Rose and 10 are my otp, but I have to go with Amy. Rose helped The Doctor become more kind, but Amy motherfucking Pond is just bad-ass. She never just sat around in dangerous situations waiting for The Doctor to save her. She is probably the strongest female character on Doctor Who. “

That first paragraph makes me want to punch the screen.
A summation of what is wrong with certain bits of fandom 101
-Amy snogged with the Doctor when she was engaged/jokes about it: nothing
-Rose abandoned Mickey/slirted with the Doctor in front of him/was in love: O MY GOD SO ROMANTIC
-Martha was in love with the Doctor, and didn’t know about his past at all, yet stuck by him: OMG fuck off bitch he’s Rose’s.
“You should have just stopped moaning about how The Doctor doesn’t like you and appreciated the fact that he even let you come with him. “
DOUBLE. FUCKING. STANDARD.
