They literally want some deformed Dr. WTF is life now.
I can imagine the new adventures of Dr. Who, spends 5 minutes just to get into his weelchair and has a sonic screwdriver instead of a hand, then learns to live happily with this malfunctioning lump of a body instead of regenerating again.

If they wanted diversity they should have made him black or indian or what-ever. Making him a women seems weird, like the Doctor is a male Time Lord right?

But what-ever. Never seen old-school Dr Who, just the new shit and it's preachy and boring; can't take a show seriously where his enemies can be talked around. Please keep taking my money BBC.
 
Insisting that girls need Mary-Sue type fictional superhero characters to "look up to" because, of course, girls never had anyone to admire or emulate isn't ignoring the millions of badass women throughout history, not at all. (/sarc)

After all, we can't pressure girls into becoming shrill, bitter SJW harpies if they realize that actual women have always accomplished things and everyone is okay with them not being the Buffy the Black Widow.

Maybe women should stop being so cis-normative and look up to some men.
 
What I'm not looking forward to now are the 85 articles from Buzzfeed and the Mary Sue about how brave this decision is. It really isn't, not with all the identity politics and progressive jacking off the show's done in recent seasons.

Also, according to my dad, who watched Doctor Who when he was a kid, Tom Baker trolled everyone when his time was up and said that the next Doctor would be a woman. Honestly, it would have been far, far more impressive to do it then than doing it now. (Though we wouldn't have had Peter Davison, who is a delight.)

Yeah, the idea of a female Doctor is nowhere near as new as some people say it is. I can't find it on the web, but on one of the Classic Series DVDs, I remember seeing an old interview with John Nathan Turner (who produced Doctor Who from 1980 until its cancellation in 1989) just after Peter Davison announced he was leaving, and the concept of a female Doctor was discussed. At the time though, Time Lords switching genders wasn't part of the canon and was considered too "out there", but apparently the production team had briefly considered having a female Doctor.

Also, when they were bringing the show back, Judi Dench was apparently under consideration to play the Ninth Doctor. Judi Dench. That would've been amazing.
 
So Doctor Who is officially a women now. That's great and all, but we can all agree that what's more important is the story. A show that panders to SJWs might sink or float as long as the show and its characters are interesting.

But I think its so funny how the same people who are applauding the show for taking a brand new step, are most likely going to be the same people who are not going to watch the show.

There's also the annoying part of people claiming that girls should only have female role models to look up too. Last I checked, both girls and boys can look up to anybody regardless of gender.

But oh well, it's best to just sit back and watch the show.

There is another bitching because she looks like Christina Hoff Sommers and THAT'S PROBLEMATIC, seriously i'm more amused at the fact that NO ONE is happy about this

Neckbeards are bitching because BBC shitted on almost 50 years of history just because they can
SJW's are bitching because she is not a POC/Disabled person
Normal people are between a "ok....?" and "oh well whatever"

Im seriously dont care, i mean i sperg with my friends in a vidya where King Arthur,Emperor Nero and Attila the hun are sexy girls, who i'm to judge? i just expect she follow the long tradition that capaldi broke "every doctor has to run for his life every time"
 
Some of you guys here are saltier about this than people I've seen elsewhere lmao.

I legitimately don't care who plays the Doctor, I'm just glad Moffat is leaving. I mean the show has always been kinda shit but at least it used to be in a campy enjoyable way, I stopped watching sometime during Moffat's run though because he just turned it into a mess of preachiness and bad writing.
 
The gratuitous self congratulatory circle jerking in the comments section of this video kills me. They're surprisingly salty over the idea people don't like a female doctor, so it's salt about the thought of someone being salty. It's like a big feedback loop of sodium and I just love it.
I haven't been seeing much non-shitpost salt about him being female aside from here despite what people say. It's just been wet, lukewarm disappointment for the most part.

You should have seen the spergery of the fanbase when Army of Ghosts came out. Half of them were fapping themselves into a "Daleks vs Cybermen, squeeee!" lather while the other half were all "REEEEEEE FANWANK!"

When you were like eleven, and hadn't really seen too much of Daleks or Cybermen, the idea of them fighting was awesome.

Kids care about that, not the insipid culture war between neckbeards who haven't bathed since Who was rebooted, and SJW whiners who....also haven't bathed since then.

The idea of "brain in an iron man suit" cyborgs vs. "wheelchair-tank nazi" cyborgs is a culture war I'd vote for.
 
All this salt and uproar over the 13th Doctor being female reminds me that I'm just glad I'm not a Doctor Who fan.
