A new episode of Doctor Who, entitled Rogue, was released last night on Disney+ (for those of us in the ol’ U.S.of.A.) and as soon as I finished watching it I posted something on Threads about it. Something like a very short spoiler free review. Allow me to share an excerpt:
heh heh heh
Sorry. I just find bigotry to be so ridiculous that I have to make fun of it when I can.
Also, Doctor Who may suffer from the most toxic fan base in the entire entertainment industry. I used to think Star Trek fans were bad, then Star Wars came back and the toxicity made Star Trek look like cute cuddly kitties. Then I started watching Doctor Who and the level of toxicity spewing from the show’s “fans” made Star Wars look like a picnic in the park on a sunny summer’s day.
I am not going to say that I am looking forward to the hate vomit that this week’s episode is sure to produce, but I am looking forward to being able to use the response to the episode to block a whole ton of scumbags on social media. That’s what I call a bright side!
A lot of people have wide and varied points of view on a wide and varied range of subjects. I certainly have some ideas that one might argue for against conventional wisdom. I think you’ll find that most people will always have very valid reasons for said views. They might just keep them to themselves. From there ro blocking people because they think differently is taking it too far. I won’t impose my views on you and I know you don’t impose yours on me. When people stop talking to each other then the proverbial has really hit the fan.

@robertjames1971.blog I'm watching it right now. Could it be that the C****** represent toxic fandom?

Honestly, I’ve not seen it and haven’t followed Dr Who in a while, but I’m guessing a character was LGBTQ-whatever.
YAWN!!!
For anyone shocked/disgusted/offended by the episode and the character, weeeeellllll you know that embarrassing grandfather/uncle at your family get togethers that everyone makes excuses for, well, that’s you. The rest of us are fine with it. You’re the problem. Nope, not problem. The embarrassment.
I, personally, don’t really get it but I”m cool with trans identity. And gay/lesbian is mainstream now.
And, well, if it’s a problem for you then, well, um, GTF over it!!! Your children are ashamed of you if you have any.
