Re: feel free to spoil me for cote i will never watch it

As a bitter Tosh fan, it was pretty great to watch people brush her and Owen's deaths off as "this is Torchwood, anyone can die" and then promptly lose their shit over Ianto.

That. So much that.

+1. The coffee sending nutters will never stop being funny. As a bonus, one of my fandom enemies, a homophobe IRL, was on the petition with her real name. She cares about her fictional slash fodder, but not about actual gay people. Oh, the humanity.

The ... coffee sending nutters? Do I even want to know? (Answer: yes.)

DA here, I think using the term nutters is horrible, but what happened is some fans formed a group called Save Ianto Jones, or it may have been Save Coffee Boy, there were a couple. I was never a member of either, so didn't see what happened on their LJs, but I did read some of their public posts about the coffee. They sent coffee as part of a protest to the BBC, to try and put pressure on to get the character back.

Thing is these sorts of things worked in other fandoms, so I don't blame them for trying. The BBC just isn't really the sort of place where it would work, I think all the other fandoms were in the US, where fan pressure made a difference for commercial reasons.

I don't really think it did any harm, maybe some BBC staff got some nice coffee, and I think if you feel strongly about something why not try. I've never been into any fandom enough to go to that sort of bother, but I don't see why we should judge people for it.

Having said that, I dd judge the person who wrote the manifesto that she sent to the BBC, which was a copy and paste job from people's LJ pages, and I felt very angry that she used journals without permission, a lot had people's photos on them. Still those Save Ianto comms had over a thousand members, and I'm sure most of them were perfectly well intentioned and as horrified by that one woman as the rest of us.
