I Love Doctor Who.

I love doctor who.

Hello yes we have a silly guy who travels the universe with a (usually young, human) companion and gets into silly space adventures! We have been running for sixty years, figuratively because the show has been running, and literally because boy do we love getting chased down corridors. There are three different eras of the show and a movie! It is literally impossible to watch all of doctor who because a lot of the older episodes were destroyed by the BBC. There is no way to know everything about the show, to archive everything about the show you'd need a hive mind of autistic people with doctor who special interests. Still not enough? There are audio dramas! Three season 1s! Two season 2s! 15-20 versions of the main character (they are all the same guy). Horror! Comedy! Fantasy! Scifi! The worst episode you've ever seen in your life! The most transcendent experience imaginable! The good episodes are good for the same reason that the bad episodes are bad! Don't like a writer? Wait a few years! Don't like the main character? Wait a few years! Doctor who! It's been your dream show at some point in time, and will be again!

also like if the cast has been historically great with other guest stars—bonding and commenting on social media and this ONE person doesn’t get treated the same, maybe it says more on the ONE person than the entire cast? like idk maybe just something to think about

finally listened to scherzo and alas as a 2023 chronic tumblr user the most coherent commentary my brain can seem to produce is “this too is yuri”

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

What's some advice you wish you received much earlier

"When people come to you to establish a boundary or a need or to express hurt feelings, that's a compliment, not an attack. That is them wanting to develop the relationship and trusting you to listen and care to do better. And no matter how sad you are about accidentally hurting them, it's a GOOD thing that they cared to have a hard conversation with you"
