K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

Why is o.k. for Amy to be in love with the Doctor but not Martha?

Spoiler alert: It’s because white people are allowed to fall in love

A significant portion of martha hate is racism, whether explicit or implicit, maybe not all of it, but if you just ‘don’t like her for some reason’, we all know it’s because she’s black ok, just stop, tw: racism

^^^^^^^

TRUTH

TRUFAX. And now a bunch of people will pop out of the woodwork saying “we don’t like Amy being in love with the Doctor either…” but really your problem is martha. And your problem is that she’s black. and had a personality, and stood up for herself. and wasn’t just grateful to be in the tardis, like YOU would have been.
