Yeah, I totally agree. They're all so flawed, and I totally love them anyway. ;) Gwen has been completely redeemed by fic, for me. ;) Now I see her as Ianto's friend...as Jack's friend, etc. It's...weird. :P
I'm really much the same way, with Jack. I was never enamored with him like some people are, I guess? And I do find some aspects of him to be really interesting, but it's his relationship with Ianto that's led me there, you know?
Yeah, I actually don't get at all why it's such a huge thing, people wanting to bash her. :/ To me it just makes things less fun in general, if you're spending your time focusing on a character you don't like, you know? Just write the characters you love and be done with it. ....And yeah, bash your original characters if you have to do something. ;)
