They're Not Even Hiding Their Racism... - Reacting To Conservatives FURIOUS At "Black Doctor Who" by Mr TARDIS

Mr. Tardis is a YouTuber who's striking back at YouTubers like The Quartering who think that sci-fi show/movie/comic book/video games, etc. and the media are too 'woke' and full of DEI. In the specific video I'm posting (from last year), Mr. Tardis attacks British and American YouTubers pushing this bullcrap into people's heads, focusing on the current Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa and how these YouTubers can't stand him, or any other black person being on TV, as well as seeing women and LGBT people in media generally:

You realize that hardly anyone here will watch this as it's almost 2.5 hours long? I tried 3 minutes and it was already getting repetitive.

The short version: Some people are disgusting bigots. Other people call them out for their bigotry. The actor is caught in the middle and just wants to do his job.
 
The main problem with a female Doctor was the writing. So far Ncuti deserves better, But could get their teeth into it very effectively.

Capaldi deserved better writing. I stuck it out as long as I could without feeling like throwing a brick through the TV (counterproductive, I know), and the last straw was Clara's "oops, GOTCHA! Hee-hee-hee!" phony death. I'd anticipated her death for ages, because I couldn't stand her. The writing was overall horrible, but she was the worst part of it.

And they did a bait and switch. So I decided hell with it, I'm done. For me, Doctor Who will always be Hartnell - McGann, and nuWho will be Eccleston and Tennant. I liked Capaldi's Doctor, but even he couldn't make that crappy writing make any sense.

I did watch the Christmas special that year, because of the theme and the First Doctor. But after that? Only very brief clips from YT, that amount to less than 5 minutes. I didn't even bother with any of the 60th anniversary stuff.

Yep. I was a lot more disappointed with how Moffat et al. wrote for Peter Capaldi than by how Chibnall et al. wrote for Jodie Whittaker. For a start, Chibnall didn't waste a year or two writing her as an asshole.
 
Is that your assessment of Capaldi's Doctor? I put it down to a traumatic regeneration, and then getting saddled with a narcissistic, selfish companion who treated her time with him as an entitlement, not as a once in a lifetime privilege that she should be damn grateful for.

It's the writing in general that I found awful. Come on - the Moon is an egg? Even as a young child, I would have found that ridiculous.
 
Danny Pink. 12 was a complete hypocritical raging asshole to him. That wasn't Clara's fault, and I don't see the regeneration having much to do with it either.
 
Clara didn't treat Danny Pink very well, either. FFS, she was slipping out on him in the middle of dates to run off with the Doctor. In the end, he proved to be far more honorable than she was.
 
Eh. As long as I can keep not liking the current Doctor because of bad decisions by the writing and production, and because thus far I am not remotely struck on him as an actor either, then I’m gonna stay out of culture war fandom.
Apart from a few, who I will watch, because it’s entertaining watching a discussion of Who veer into a sort of weird Question Time thing and wondering when they’re gonna tie it back to Who, and because those ones are definitely all about Who for *decades* and somehow they just keep veering into politics. It’s a sort of… Gareth Roberts vs RTD war, and that is at least sociologically interesting. XD
 
I tune out when people start arguing about showrunners, producers, or whatever they're called these days. I couldn't match showrunner with Doctor if my life depended on it, except for John Nathan-Turner and the Fourth Doctor. And even then, all I cared about was whether the characters were interesting and if the stories were entertaining.

Both of these ceased, so I quit watching. It doesn't mean I still don't have loads of Classic Who available in novel form and fanfic.
