I'm sorry, but you just aren't getting it. This argument of Rose Vs Everyone Else Who Will Never Be As Good As Her And The Doctor Will Never Care About Them As Much fucks over every other companion on the show and that is why people--Classic Series fen especially, even more than Martha fen--are pissed off at you.
I mean seriously. And they have every right to be because this argument of yours manages to demean ninety percent of the show. And I've been biting my tongue since Who Daily started linking you because I know you aren't completely batshit--I've read some of the things you've written for other fandoms and even when I haven't agreed with them, you weren't offensive. (Hell, there's an essay on Buffy Summers of yours I really like.) But I can't do that anymore.
This is not about Martha. By making it All About Rose you are short-changing every other companion on the show and every Doctor that isn't Nine or Ten. And that's just wrong.
