Martha is definitely my favourite - but I think the only reason I connected to her more than Donna is that she's closer to me in age and general life-experience (twenty-something, university student...) And yes - if you're sick of emotional weight and "the world will end because of you" and "I don't want to go" and all that shit, then Classic is absolutely for you...
I am hesitant to attribute my feelings on Moffat to Tumblr social justice stuff, simply because I don't think I even knew Tumblr existed for his first few seasons, and I still wasn't enjoying his run. I think the difference Tumblr has made for me is the ability to articulate what it is that's making me uncomfortable or dissatisfied.
And I guess the other thing about learning to dislike something through Tumblr is this: sometimes "I didn't know to expect any better" is a thing? Like, if you don't know you can expect a thing, then you can't be disappointed when you don't see it? So it's less "because of Tumblr, I can't enjoy this show anymore", and more "because of Tumblr, I know I deserve better"? (Maybe I'm expressing myself coherently, maybe I'm not.)
