On the new Doctor

You're damn right I'm upset that a two hearted all but immortal alien who has lived in thirteen different bodies is now being played by a woman.  I would be equally upset if after 54 years a  beloved female character grew a Johnson.  It doesn't have to make sense.  It's my fandom of choice.  I can only cling to the hope the people responsible are held accountable in the afterlife. #NotMyDoctor

A friend tried to persuade me the choice was a good one by sending me nude pics of the new Doctor. I agree she's hot. But I've never watched Doctor Who to masturbate to the Doctor.  And while that isn't how he thinks,  isn't that just admitting the goal of the choice was a lurid push for ratings,  and sexism in disguise? #NotMyDoctor

I look forward to the next Wonder Woman being played by a man. After all, it's an iconic character dating back decades. Isn't it time for inclusion? Plus the costume should be a pip. 

 I'd like to point out that the UK has a population that is 87.1% white - more really, as they classify Travelers like Tyson Fury as non-white, which is weird - and most of that 13% mix lives near London. Doctor Who has done a fine job, a DISPROPORTIONATELY fine job, in the area of the pc game of representation

Prediction: ratings for the new Doctor will soar, then, when all the "never watched it" SJW's fall off, return to normal. After a season where her gender is referenced in each episode, ala Bill's "I'm gay," ratings will dip. The BBC will be concerned but give her one more season. With ratings at a low for New Who after that, partly due to normal viewer fatigue with a fourteen year old show, a new Doctor will be cast. Two years after that, the show will end. Fifteen Doctors, if you include Hurt.

After driving to and from YaYa's camp this morning to drop off supplies, Lisa took a nap. I interrupted it to break the news about the new Doctor. Her reaction:

"Don't wake me up again for your stupid shit."

ROTFLMAO

Lisa: What happens if she [the new Doctor] turns out to be the best one ever?

(Impossible after Pertwee and Tennant)

Me: Then I'll publicly admit I'm wrong. 

I swear. Sometimes the woman mistakes me for a self-righteous liberal.

****

Update: Two days later and I'm still salty about Doctor Who.  And spare me the cries of sexism and misogyny.  The same people screaming that are invested in the issue only because of the gender of the actress, not because they love(ed) the show - nice example of hypocrisy, that.
