re: #80 I cannot.
I am a masochist, I have spent the morning in YouTube comment section regarding the 13th Doctor.
I have lost hope in humanity…I mean, even more than I already have.
Consider:
1) it’s fiction.
2) Doctor Who has already established that Gallifreyans can switch gender identities in regenerations (see Missy/Master) for the most recent example.
3) In a fictionalized universe where as goddamnedfrank pointed out that it’s okay to have interspecies lesbian relationships (Vastra and Jenny), a Doctor that regenerates into a female is suddenly verbotten or a bridge too far?
Fuck that. Heck, I’ll take the word from the following over some online misogynist/bigots:
a message from Sylvester!
“Congratulations Jodie Whittaker!!!!! One small step for Women, one Giant leap for Womenkind!!”— Sylvester McCoy (@4SylvesterMcCoy) July 16, 2017
Or maybe Colin Baker.
But these are the same people upset over a comic book movie that portrayed a character as black (Heimdall). Or that Idris Elba might be cast as the fictional character James Bond. Bigots gotta bigot.
