Why is the Doctor being a white male so central to the show, though? He's been old and young, so it's not like him being anything beyond the Doctor has ever been solid.

NAYRT

I feel like the Doctor being male is sort of central to his being, and I don't know how to explain why I feel that way. I wouldn't care if he wasn't white (or wasn't young, or wasn't old), and while I'd still watched if they made him female to give it a chance, I'm just personally attached to a male Doctor.

I know it's not logical, but there you go.

Different anon. I feel the same. I could get behind the Doctor being a different race but for some reason to be the Doctor being female isn't quite the Doctor anymore.

you know it could be interesting if you tried to examine that bias.
now I'm not going to go armchair on you because i don't know enough about this topic to do that, but what do you think a woman would lack that the man brings? in what way would a woman change the show that the other incarnations haven't? how would she change the character?

(Anonymous) 2017-05-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Inherently she shouldn't. But to me that's part of my point. Making the Doctor female should not change anything, so why do it? Just because? When you could write a whole new awesome character instead?
