Wait...is that TW Jack/Ianto? Because people lost their shit over that. Where have you been if you think people weren't upset about that whole thing? It was ridiculous.

What I was thinking.

Yeah, like Torchwood fandom had an embarrassing meltdown over Ianto's death.

Perhaps this person is new to Torchwood?? So he or she wasn't around when it all happened?

I stared at the secret for a long time thinking I must be seeing it wrong because yeah, lost their shit indeed.

I wasn't even anywhere near the fandom and I still caught the tails edges of it.

Seriously. The Ianto memorial wall makes me ashamed to live in Cardiff.

(Anonymous) 2013-01-18 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
lololololol that's a real thing?

(Anonymous) 2013-01-18 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes it is and it's even made it into the Doctor Who tour, it's a tourist attraction. Although I'm not the AYRT and I have no idea why they even care. It's not as if you can't avoid it in Cardiff, it's in a very tucked away location. I think if those fans want to do it, let them, it doesn't hurt anyone.

This. They clearly weren't a part of fandom back then (or were hanging around some weird secluded circles). I remember RTD getting some pretty violent threats and accusations of homophobia despite, you know, him being gay and all.

(Anonymous) 2013-01-18 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Just as women can exhibit or endorse misogyny, it is in fact perfectly possible for gay people to exhibit or endorse homophobia. The society in which we live offers considerable pressure,underpinning and rewards for it.

I know that, but don't think it applies in this instance since a large part of it was a bunch of straight, slash-loving fangirls accusing a gay man - who'd also created shows like Queer as Folk - of hating gay people. No offense, but I will side-eye that kind of thing forever.

I remember when the Ianto fangirls/Gwen haters went on about how RTD was using his partner's cancer as an 'excuse' for his bad writing.
