Why have I given up?

[pinkpolyanthus]

Someone kindly asked me the question as to why I have chosen not to do any more fanvids... and I thought I would post my reply here too!

...

Because I have made 152 fanvids of Jack and Ianto out of which I managed to get 140 uploaded and as it draws nearer and nearer to S4 BBC Worldwide seem to have singled me out and keep banning my vids saying I

Very well said, and I agree with you whole-heartedly. I can't watch his interviews or even read about them, he just makes me cringe. I like John Barrowman, and Kai and Tom, and it's a shame they have to be associated with him to do the show. He just spoils it all.

Pedophilia as an entertainment choice is just unbelievable, and unforgivable. I want to watch Season Four. I want to love 'new' Torchwood, but there is no way in hell I ever will. I have fanfiction and videos to keep my Torchwood alive, and I will be happy with that.

Thank you! Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who doesn't kowtow to his almightyness! It is like by giving him the OBE it gave him carte blanche to do what the hell he likes regardless of whether or not it is in bad taste

Before I became ill with Fibro/CFS and had to stop working, I was an adolescent counselor at a group home for teenage girls. I was absolutely appalled at what some of those girls had done to them. The only mention of pedophiles should be in news stories telling about them being caught and punished. It's not even just about Ianto anymore for me. It's about RTD being a despicable human being.

I totally agree with you! It is a subject for newsworthy stories not sensationalist ideas to boost ... as you rightly call him... the ego of a despicable human being!

When I was 13 one of the first set of children I looked after on the weekend was a pair of unidentical twin girls - one blonde and one black-haired. The father used to make the one who looked like him watch as he abused the other one in the most horrific way. Shame the death penalty didn't stretch for him! I always think that the stress of seeing such things at such young age set off enormous stress problems exacerbated the Fibro/CFS I already had but remained undiagnosed for so many years!

Reading interviews with RTD does nothing to help my stress levels either ... so have given up that little... luxury!
