Me: Points out Doctor Who's history of strong capable women
What are my identity politics again here? Cause it seems you're claiming it's misogynistic to suggest a female character isn't a well written one.
Which you know has been part of my point about why people won't engage with "Woke" properties because if they do and don't enjoy things or are critical of things they just get insulted, because that's what such terms are being used as, insults. Emotionally weighted terms used to shame people because said terms are more effective than just a normal insults and help try to stop people agreeing with them for fear they will be labelled bad people too. Media and liking or disliking it used to judge a person.
The funniest thing being in this very threat I brought up another Sci-Fi with a female lead and It's one I enjoyed and has a diverse cast but the woke lot for whatever reason didn't care seemingly because it was diverse without taking overt shots against others or strawmanning or really pushing it. I also pointed out a female lead superhero show that is diverse without ending up like Batwoman where they put proving themselves as woke above being a good show. But hey clearly I must hate women because I pointed out Jodie Fosters Doctor was written as less competent then previous incarnations of The Doctor but was more preachy and self righteous with it and Yaz has been sidelined and not really given much to do at all nor really any character development.
So my least favourite companion is Rose. I think she is an obnoxious teen who is more trouble than she is worth. Most things just happen to her without her being involved. She isnt well written and they spend far too much time with her family, unlike later when just go for a few visit. It's the kinda of teen that you'd see on Gossip Girl (without all the money). I really didn't like how she was shipped with the Doc at all. Mickey ended up being the better and well rounded character in the end. I certainly prefer a Bill, or even a Clara over Rose.
You know what I dont blame it on? Wokeness. Just bad writing. Kinda goes with fart aliens and mannequin bad guys. And the last season of cybermen floaty heads were not as cool as someone thought in their head
Just one little thing. Preachy being a problem? That makes me feel like you haven't Doctor Who before. Maybe she's doing a 9/10 on the preach scale. All of them preach all the time, with the lowest being Eccelstein at an 8. Capaldi 8.8, Smith 8.4, Tennant 8.6. The Doctor is a judgy, preachy character. (Like, I probably would put Capaldi on top but I know you have a hate boner for Whittaker so I put him down a little. Didnt want to offend you too much, but then I decided against it. Be offended as you want). As to Yaz, Id agree, I dont think they knew what to do with her. I dont think this new writer is good at overall season arcs at all. But the last two got up their own arses with season arcs... so IDK. I'm not happy either way
Anyway, if media judging you, maybe you have bad morals? Like, I get that people don't want to be talk to about plastics in the ocean. It encourages you to do something. But getting offended at it? That's got more to do with your not willingness to help than the show having a bad message. I was told by media when I was little that gays are bad, women can only do certain things, men need to be violent. I just stopped watching the show. I didnt spend pages on threads demand the show cater for my needs. If you dont like something, it is very okay to just stop. Or go watch repeats of what you like.
