Why is it so hard for TW fandom to be as sane about relationships and people as the actual characters in the show are?
Gwen and Ianto don't hate each other (and are, in fact, adorable together)! Jack is capable of loving more than one person at a time! Gwen is able to have emotional confusion about Jack without it meaning that she loves Rhys any less!
Don't you know? Ianto is a doormat who cries himself to sleep at night. And Jack is an emotionally abusive ass.
Right, obviously, I am taking these things for granted. The real question is -- did Ianto steal one of Jack's coats to cry into or did he go to a costumer's and have one made?
Or did Jack, in one of those moments of casual cruelty that he's constantly engaging in, throw an old coat at Ianto's feet before running off to chuck stones at Gwen's window to see if she'll come out to play with him?

This is proven in canon when Jack replies to Gwen with, "pizza, Ianto, save the world." Why? BECAUSE IANTO CAME AFTER PIZZA.
So says a chunk of fandom who are certain that if it isn't heteronormative, it must be BAD.
Although to be fair, maybe they aren't bigots. Just crazy.

*pretends that miserable!Lee icon is really of Ianto, because it surely reflects the agony of his soul*
