I hate this about tumblr--not just the overanalysing, but the fact that it makes itself worse by virtue of the way it's used. Someone can straight up lie about something, but there's no effective way to dispel it. If you reblog it with a correction, it has such a slim chance of being seen and actually reaching the people who were fed the lie.

With stuff like this, there's such an obvious, simple countermeasure: all of the pictures of promos with Nine and Rose that DON'T have them in this approved posture and position. Like this one (http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/doctor-rose-series-1-promo.jpg) or this (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6FNYbh5HRag/UHX3_fCPo8I/AAAAAAAAC1A/mKCV1HpaQR4/s1600/rose+7.jpg). I mean, I can cherry pick my findings like that too.

Not to mention, I really, really don't have a problem with a show called Doctor Who featuring the Doctor in the forefront. Especially when he's the person that must ultimately carry the show.

Yeah, I was thinking that's hardly the only S1 promo pic they ever did. I knew I had seen others.

I'm sure we could find some promos from later on that look more equitable.

...Or we could just challenge ourselves to parse the hierarchy illustrated by this pic:

Jack is least important because he's down low, or is it Jackie because she's most in back?

I don't see the problem with those promo pics.

Me neither! :) I'm just pointing out that OP's post suggests that their exact positioning proves that it's so much more feminist than now, except that they took pictures where the Doctor was in front, higher up, more in charge, etc during Nine's era. That doesn't mean it's bad at all! Just that arguments like that one are annoying on tumblr because they're easily pulled apart.
