Dude. Just relax and admit your initial post was unclear and too strong.Note, I didn't say, "I don't think this is good Doctor Who" (also note, he's not actually a Doctor. Dr. Who is wrong.). I specifically used the word "bitches" which is a tad stronger than "oh, I don't think this is good". To be fair though, I was typing quickly and didn't expand on my point. I thought it would have been clear in context, but, sorry, guess not.
Again, not what I said.
But, to absolutely clarify, because, apparently, not being 100% perfectly clear means that I'm being "dismissive" and will have people interpret what I'm saying in the least charitable ways, let me be 100% crystal clear:
If you are criticizing Doctor Who because you feel it's being "too woke" and that it's "abandoned fans" in favor of social agendas, I don't want you in my fandom. You (the person who is claiming that Doctor Who is pandering to the woke crowd) are everything wrong with fandom. You are no longer welcome. Doctor Who has ALWAYS been progressive. It has ALWAYS taken a stand against any sort of bigotry or racism. It has ALWAYS been "woke". To all those so called fans who endlessly bitched about Doctor Who being played by a woman, a person of color, a gay man, or whatever? Go away. You aren't welcome in the fandom anymore. You're going to stop watching Doctor Who because it's taking a stand? Good. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Now, is that clear enough about who I'm referring to and what I'm talking about? Does it need further clarification?
And you're gonna nerdsplain to me that the Doctor isn't really a Doctor, and his name isn't "Doctor Who" but just the "Doctor"? Any more semantic battles or nitpicks you want to drop?
Don't let your anger and irritation over the intolerant "anti-woke" crowd poison the discussion here. Nobody in this thread is repeating that "go woke, go broke" nonsense.
A more calm post expressing your irritation probably would have gotten most, if not all, in this thread to give you the thumb's up.
