Overslept and am rushing to get ready for work. Argh!

Comms - T_W for your all fail! all wank! needs. At least that's where I saw the "barrowman is a bad gay man" wank. :/ They might of course have brought it elsewhere. (FB)

Oh geez, really? -- I'm so glad I missed that one.

I did see the Facebook page and I posted a couple of links to interviews, but it looks like an unwinnable fight between two sides so I backed slowly away from the page.

The comment was basically that JB is not doing enough for the gay community by getting Ianto back on-screen. Followed by: why is he in a show with a pedophile? So not only does he fail at being gay and fighting for GLBT rights by getting a STRAIGHT man his job back to portray a bi character, but let's bring in the Gay/Pedophile implications back in focus.

Yes. WHUT is a good comment.

I went and joined and that has been it. I stick to the old adage: "Keep silent and let people think you're a moron. Speak, and remove all doubt". So far it seems to be working. (At least off-LJ lol)

Ah.

Clearly he should be doing more for straight guys who play bi guys. JB, why are you slacking off on your duty? OMG WHAT IS THAT.

These people make no sense at all! We know almost nothing about the show yet! Ianto is never coming back, people. Let's get real.

I'm not going to argue with anyone about this either - what's the point? - but this all sounds beyond ridiculous.

JB is a bad gay man is a particularly ridiculous argument. Makes no sense at all.
