random thought about 6x1&2
er, cut for spoilers to be safe (this is not earth-shattering or anything)
Smug.
If Canton Edward had been a woman, would fandom's reaction have been this mountain of squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee over her?
Somehow, I doubt it. Somehow, given the character traits he shares with River (being smug, knowing more than everyone--if only for a short time, fucking shooting things, jesus fucking christ), I'm pretty sure a woman would have been called 'flat, uninteresting, boring, another in a long line of Moffat's failed female characters'.
And I desperately want the Moff to fucking troll fandom and create a bunch of female characters similar to Canton. I'm sure fandom as a whole will miss the obvious, and never actually fucking get how sexist they're being as they decry the new crop of Mary Sues.
