They Killed Dr. Who for Good

Don't know how minorities are treated in the UK but in America gays and minorities are treated with kid gloves and given special privileges that no average white guy will ever get. Folks don't want to be smeared for not walking on eggshells around them. NOT a two way street though.

Last line of any Captain Pugwash episode; "But Tom the cabin boy just smiled and said nothing". This too got spoiled in the updated version. Not the same without the moving cardboard.

That has been misquoted to hell and back

But you know very well that minorities are treated like crap. And being a gay minority means that you get double the crap.

BULL ... they are coddled and they have privilege over others.
At least that's the way it is in America.

He is now just a woke activist and that's all I see.
Ruined watching the show for me.
LIke I said, it's the same with Mark Ruffalo and 'The Hulk'.
And Susan Sarandon. And all the other activist actors.
They can say what they want, of course.
But that has consequences. One of those consequences
is that it turns people off and they no longer want to watch.

The privilege to be called racial slurs? Because guess what. It still happens. There are still bigots that discriminate against minorities. And that's what people are still fighting against. It's 2024 and we still have racism.

I'm not sure how to answer this. The religious conservatives have been preachy and condemning for Millenia. But when liberals do it. It's now a problem?

How many “religious conservatives” disguise social engineering as entertainment. The CDC is still running this “cute” add where kids can be super heroes by cancelling in person play dates to virtual play dates.

Live and let live isn’t the same as playing the race card because someone disagrees with you.

RC's don't disguise anything. Many of them brazenly and openly push their cults upon others.

So? Who is pushing going to jail if you don’t use the right pronoun? Is that Dr who-ish in who’s vill?

It’s one thing to promote your lifestyle in the bounds of freedom of speech. It’s another thing to have the state enforce it, squash freedom of speech, and advocate cut perfectly good body parts off children and take advantage of their awkwardness. Because a boy is curious about bras doesn’t mean he needs hormones and a sex change. I think the trans movement is perverting natural curiosity for their own political purposes. Trans advocates should definitely live and let live when it comes to children.

Or having religious groups push their agendas on everyone by having the government do it for them?

a reply to: grey580

What religious group controls what government at what level in the USA?

Dr. Who is now slipping in the ratings.
It has gone totally 'woke'.
The actor playing Dr. Who blames RACISM.
It couldn't possibly be because the writers are pushing
a woke agenda on the viewers ... nope ... it's gotta'
be because of racism. /Sarcasm.

Dr Who Actor Blames Series Tanking on Racists

Ratings for the current iteration, however, have been slipping, and Gatwa claims that it is because of racists who can’t stand seeing a non-white individual portraying the main character.

While the show has always had socially progressive roots, producer Russell T. Davies recently told Rolling Stone his current incarnation is written to be especially progressive.

Episodes in the newest season include redesigning a flip phone so it doesn’t look like a gun, a character defending a “non-binary” child against “transphobes,” and an entire episode dedicated to pushing abortion.

But for Gatwa, it couldn’t possibly be shoving an endlessly progressive agenda down viewers’ throats, causing a downturn in viewership.

It must be racism.

Sorry "Cyberpersons".

For once lets hope its dead in the water, Bud Light style.
As much as it pains me to witness the show's demise, better wallowing in the classic era than the codswallop it has become.
