SJWs Denounce New Doctor Who For Not Being A Black Trans Woman

800-x-419-Canvas-224-759x419.png


Over at Variety, critic Maureen Ryan acknowledges that while she’s happy the new Doctor Who is not “yet another white man,” “some might be disappointed that this makes for the thirteenth white Doctor in a row.”

“I do want to see a woman of color, or a non-white man, as the Doctor, of course. Those fans are still being asked to wait, and it would be hypocritical not to note that that is still not ideal.

...and Emma Watson is an educated, modern feminist - so she should be the new James Bond :p

@Robert. Not relevant. Dr Who has a long established history and tradition which they are violating. It reminds me of C=USA re imagining the Amiga.

Satire from 2009:
Doctor Who fans reminded that it's for children


DOCTOR Who producers have once again reminded the show’s ardent fans that it is actually for children.

Fans are concerned that as a time lord from Gallifrey, the Doctor is now far beyond his or her allotted 12 regenerations and therefore the show should already have ended.

They now fear the Doctor Who universe could collapse in on itself, destroying everything including Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica.

But a BBC spokesman said: “How’s about this? We’ve just decided that The Doctor can fire Angel Delight from his or her fingertips and is sexually attracted to suspension bridges. How did we do that? Because we’re making it up as we go along.

“If you watch any third-rate comedian, he will pretend to like Knight Rider and Bazooka Joe bubblegum before talking about watching Doctor Who from behind the sofa as a child. As… a… child.”

The spokesman added: “We’re getting really sick of having to discuss Tardis engineering with 35 year-old men who smell like damp sandwiches.”

I personally don't care, I have not watched Dr Who since I was a kid in the 70s. Also if this change was happening in a vacuum, I might agree with you that it is a storm in a teacup. It isn't happening in a vacuum though, it is part of a larger global social engineering movement. It's funny that you post a meme and an article basically making fun of adult men, but shy away from saying anything about SJWs whining that the change away from a white male isn't drastic enough.

As for being a kids show? Yeah, so is the new "Bill Nye Saves The World" or whatever that garbage is. Do you think "My Sex Junk" is appropriate for little kids? Do you think an anal sex instructional manual in *TEEN* Vogue is appropriate? It's all part of the same social engineering movement.

The rest of your post suggests very much the contrary.

Any people over the age of twelve getting worked up about whether a fictional, non-human character from a children's TV series is portrayed as male or female really need to have a word with themselves.

That said, like much of modern society, the fact that they are getting worked up about it is deliciously amusing.

Should have been Joanna Lumley - she'd be a brilliant doctor, but who's gonna cast an "old lady" for a lead like that. Flippin' ageism!

As for the idea that the Doctor should be a trans black woman, how representative of the UK population is that? How many trans black woman actresses in the UK? How many are any good? This is a big ask for a casting department - sounds more like one of those custom specs you see when someone's trying to throw a contract to a predetermined supplier.

And wouldn't that still be a kick to the arse for any actors who were actually born with female bodies to say that they couldn't be considered for a female roll?

I wonder what would happen if they resurrected the Sarah Jane Adventures but cast a white man in the roll of Sarah Jane (or a black or asian or any hue of trans man)?
That said, like much of modern society, the fact that they are getting worked up about it is deliciously amusing.
The fact that it shouldn't be an issue that a character who was created as a white man shouldn't be able to stay a white man is amusing in itself. There is no good reason why a new show could not be created with similar themes and have as it's lead a (any kind of person) and run on it's own merits. The mania to recast and re-imagine is what is fundamentally amusing. What if your mum was recast as a trans black man? Would that be OK?

Thing is, my Doctor is really Tom Baker. My other real Doctor is Christopher Eckleston - and that's because the new series was a very different beast from the old one. You get attached to the first thing you see and you get used to it and that's human. Not wanting change is the most normal and natural human trait. The need to move in to established vehicles and scenes and change them instead of creating your own is just cheap parasitism. If what they wanted to build had intrinsic value they could just build it themselves instead of taking over other already successful things.

The most egregious transgression is, of course, overlooked by all. The show has yet to cast a native Gallifreyan in the roll of The Doctor. That is the true outrage.

As you go onto say yourself, the character was actually created as a Gallifreyan, rather than a white, human male.
Having said that, I agree with you; the desire to be unnecessarily politically correct is, indeed, also very amusing.
Personally I find the over-reaction to it even more amusing but that's just a question of taste.

Thing is, my Doctor is really Tom Baker.

The only one I ever cared about.
I was nine years old when he chucked it.

Without a doubt and a matter which should be of grave concern to anyone who cares about equality! We are all Gallifreyans! (or something)

Nope sorry, don't care about the Dr Who franchise at all. Like I said, put it in a vacuum all by itself and having a female Dr Who would make me shrug my shoulders. Don't care either way. I didn't raise the issue here, I only responded to Kesa, mostly in jest due to the front page chat box. My OP here is dealing with the SJW retards, not Dr Who itself. I have nothing invested in Dr Who. Like I said, I haven't watched it since the 70s. The last time I even tried was in the 80s while I was still a kid and thought it was terrible.

Now if you want to talk about something like the Ghostbusters reboot, yeah I did/do care about that. The stated goal right from the beginning was to use the reboot as a SJW propaganda platform for "girl power". The movie actually having any substance or connection to the original wasn't even an afterthought, it was thrown right out the window. Pissing all over a beloved franchise pisses me off. Dr Who? Nah... Just casual conversation and pointing out idiocy.

You can say the exact same thing about any trans person even here in the USA. The best numbers I have heard is about 0.002% of the population. That's 1/5th of 1% of the population for ALL trans, yet these SJW morons /Libertards keep demanding they be represented in every movie, every TV show, every political office etc.

I see your racism is showing - that flag lacks the new brown layer as advocated by the hippest of hipsters!

No, seriously.
To be fully inclusive , if they are adding race into the mix, it would need a white stripe too - a rainbow from white to the deepest of the browns - and a ginger stripe!!!

But Fluffy, red heads don't have souls :p

I think the flag is good though in that it has yellow in it. We all know that Asians have yellow skin.
