If Canton Edward had been a woman, would fandom's reaction have been this mountain of squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee over her?

PLEASE. The fandom would've LOATHED her. I mean, she would've KNOWN STUFF and BEEN CLEVER and 'OMG, did she just FLIRT with the Doctor?!' = 'MARY SUE, I say. Isn't it obvious?!'


As I just said on [livejournal.com profile] havocthecat's entry, I wish we could just wipe the term 'Mary Sue' from fandom 'cause it's just one more way for people to bash any female character they don't like.
