Honey, trust me when I tell you that the best place to be is a million miles away from the majority of this fandom. It's fine to dislike a character in a show, and I've disliked many in different series, but how far some people take Gwen hating just makes me shudder. The community antigwenallies has as its description an invite to "all those who hate the Torchwood 'ho". Um, what? If there were to be someone labelled as a 'ho in that series, wouldn't it be the not-at-all monogamous, strictly polyamorous Jack and not Gwen? The level of misogyny demonstrated by some in the fandom is quite chilling.
I agree with you that CoE was honest. I also think it was good writing precisely because it has provoked such emotions amongst the fans. And I also laughed very hard at some parts of the article, particularly the bit about the fandom wank about homosexuality being like children picking up building blocks and waving them around in the air because they don't know what to do with them. But yes, the fact that he ships Wincest in SPN [even though I've never watched it] is win :D
