‘I don’t mind Rose/Doctor fans at all. But their elitist attitude is the one thing I hate more than anything else. The Doctor has lived eleven different lives now. Rose may have changed him for the better, but don’t you think one of the other eight previous Doctors had someone who did the same for them? She’s not the first person whose changed his life. He said himself that he’s never met a person who wasn’t important.’

Oh god yes. The Doctor has lived and loved for over 900 years. That’s over 40 companions. Series 2 their relationship got creepy and co-dependent. JUST SAYING. 

This is all true. Most fans are nice, but still- Equal playing field for companions. Thankies. And Crystal, those are the exact sentences I would use and why I don’t ship it, and can’t believe more people haven’t noticed. Kudos to Jackie Tyler.

I loved the concert band analogy used in another thread of this, just gorgeous.  I saw a post recently that stated Rose/Ten as the end all and be all and was worded, not as an opinion, but as a fact, and this made me think of that immediately.  I went straight into their ask and requested that they not add to the divisiveness in the fandom.

I think a lot of it happens because so many new Whovians had Rose as their first companion.  They’d never met Jo Grant or Sarah Jane Smith, Barbara or Turlough. Rose had the advantage of being there through two incarnations, so a LOT of people got attached, and RTD did a pretty spectacular job of grinding our noses in the idea that Rose was special, the same way he made Ten so difficult to let go of in “The End of Time”.  As much as I’m grateful for RTD bringing back the show, and giving us this great fandom, I blame a lot of its fracturing on some of the show running choices he made.

Anyway, I didn’t see anything in your posts that didn’t make logical sense, and none of it came off as particularly offensive.  The original confessor just made the mistake of lumping all Rose fans together, rather than distinguishing the rude elitists from the laid back sort that just happen to like her best. 

I’m pretty worried for season 7, mind.  I hope we don’t get more of the same over Rory and Amy. :/

What you said is EXACTLY what I think about Who and it’s fandom. I worded my previous post a little wrong, which irked someone (I think I did, anyway: Aspie probs). I meant basically what the band analogy was saying, and what you are saying, but having a bloody INTP brain, all of what you said comes into play wheneve I see this stuff and my Aspie brain sums it up wrong. 

I am really looking forward to the next companions, and I do see that problem perhaps happening…:/

I know that the show canon is just, in psuedo-science-sci-fi-bits and bobs-nomenclature, one timeline, that’s how I cope with the show, tbh, in the knowledge that technically anything can happen, it’s just one timeline shown that is “the show”. I have lots and lots.

The show. Endless AUs. Which are all part of the rich tapestry. You used the example of “The End of Time”. I have an AU after the Planet of the Dead, because I finally couldn’t reconcile RTD’s characterisation. I still love Eleven (spirit animal), because you know, timelines can intertwine. Basically, if you can think of it, it can happen in your personal AU in infinite combinations. I like Amy/Rory and I had Eleven who likes Rory, so the TARDIS carted him off on purpose to another Rory who was single, so that is how I “did both” because I adore Eleven/Rory too.
