The Doctor is watching you.
I knew with the season finale there would new Doctor Who wank popping up and I was not disappointed. It's more on the mild side but it could be a warm up to the things to come as the second half of the finale airs this weekend.

WARNING: There be spoilers for the season 4 episodes that have aired in the UK but not in other parts of the world in the comments. So read at your own peril.

Over at [info]doctorwho the mod [info]thehornedgod makes a mod post asking everyone not to say anything or even use an icon that insults any of the Doctor's companions as they are all special people. What the mod fails to do in his 'all companions are special so leave them alone' is actually give proper guidelines to what 'bashing' consists of. But he does leave instructions to have people contact him if they see anyone bashing, in text or via icon, a character. And with that gross lack of information and the fact the mods are asking people to snitch on others, the wank explodes.

Be warned, there's some unfunny business in the first comment thread that should be skipped. The rest of the comments thankfully are more on the lines of 'why can't I say I dislike a character' and 'OMG the mod is being so mean'.

[info]thehornedgod does clarify that people can discuss why they dislike a character but only if they give proper, well thought out reasons to why. Unfortunately that's all in the comments not the actual post, as the mods think people should just automatically understand where the line is instead of actually explaining the rules they've set.

There are also several people that wonder why people are getting so defensive about what people say about fictional characters, which the mod defensively snaps at telling them that if they don't like the rules, GTFO.

Eventually in the comments there are some mentions to what set the mods off.

We even have one of the quickest Godwin's I've ever seen in the comments.

You might want to warn for spoilers in those links. I only clicked on one (the one that mentions what set the mods off) and there's a HUGE one in there for "Stolen Earth". I'd be extremely pissed off if I hadn't managed to finally get caught up over the weekend.

I forsee a crop of icons detailing the reasons some people dislike the companions. They will possibly be animated for greater essay space.

I think every fandom community needs to write, in big sparkly letters, at the top of their userinfo "NOTHING IS LIKE THE NAZIS". Actually, just put this whole thing.

I am eagerly anticipating the wank that will no doubt ensue from the rest of the finale. Not as much as I'm looking forward to the episode, but there is going to be good wank about something.

Aw, you beat me to it; I was planning to write this one up! All good, though. New wank at last! ^_^

Heck, even the mice in the wank report couldn't agree on what caused it. The world may never know. Sadface!

I kind of want an icon that says "your wrongness needs to go somewhere else" now. We could use it against all those Twilight twatlets!

I know, I know, I should shut up since I'll doubtless misspell my own name or something, but it's "peril." *G*

I'm kind of looking forward to the finale. I don't watch the show, but I'm guessing there will be some serious flailing around, just from what I've picked up from context

RTD is secretly lurking on JF, and has designed this season in an attempt to see just how much wank he can stir up. Of course, he probably isn't setting HP-level wank as a personal goal just yet...but everyone has room for progress, and the season finale seems excellently designed to stir up the various companion-fan partisans in an epic multi-way wankposium.

From here:

Wait... nazism = maintaining positivity in a Doctor Who community?

That's the chapter of Mein Kampf that is generally edited out of the official versions.

Best.response.evar.

Seriously, Godwin always amuses me.

"You banned me for being a jerk! NAZI!"
"You criticized my fanfic! You NAZI!"
"You didn't like the same movie as I did! You're a NAZI!"

Just once I want to see "You participated in genocide, you NAZI!"

As others have pointed out, I'm amazed people don't understand the difference between "I'm not a fan of X" and "X IS A EVIL WHORE!"

That said, I find this mildly ironic since the mod in question is known for having been... highly biased in terms of characters in the past. Was there a critical mass of complaints or something?

Being in the U.S. I've been religiously avoiding spoilers for the end of the season but if the wank lives up to this small preview I may have to chuck it all in. :D

And those people that don't understand the difference between I dislike X Character for this reason. and OMG!! X Character is a filthy WHORE! = Crossover Weasley-Hating-Fen - Y/HY/MFY?

Which was nice, because after Saturday, I needed a pick-me-up, lol.
