tentaclecore: v for vendetta (joint tested my gas felt of)

I have a mental image of all people who are heavily invested in the Doctor remaining a white male kicking and screaming and wailing, "I DON'T LIKE CHANGE" as the world moves on without them. While you're busy clinging to the current form of an established character in a science fiction show that is a well-known trope dumpster, the rest of us are wondering why the hell it can't go that one extra mile and give us a POC Doctor, or a woman Doctor. There's no reason not to, at this point, other the weird fixation on Keeping Things The Same.

Also, as a previous nonny has noted, there's been a woman doctor before: Joanna Lumley played the 13th Doctor for like half a minute in The Curse of the Fatal Death after Hugh Grant's 12th Doctor gets electrocuted. The entire thing was fabulous, one of the best parts was Jonathan Pryce's Master imo, and the world did not end because a woman was playing the Doctor. The world won't end if another woman steps into the role. The actor/actress will stick around for a few years, then they'll tire of it like they always do, and you'll have a different Doctor to fuss over.

OP

OP here. I have nothing against POC Doctor, as long as it's not a woman. I don't care how he looks like, if he's young or if he's old, or what color his skin is. I literally do not care. I am just VERY much against the idea of casting a woman as the Doctor.

1. Because there is 99% chance she would not be given the role because she's simply the best choice, but because she is a woman and they'd want to pander to people who have been yelling "It's about time!" for ages now. Seriously, as woman, I find that shit offensive.

2. The story. They'd make the story all about how the Doctor is now a woman. Every episode would be the Doctor figuring out what it's like to be a woman. I literally do not care about that kind of story, I'm a woman, I know what it's like to be a woman, fuck off.

3. I am 99% positive they would have no idea how to properly write the Doctor as female. It would be ridiculous and cringe-worthy.

Yes, if they make the Doctor a woman, I'll still give it a chance for an ep or two, just out of curiosity. But my favorite show will be dead for me, for good.

"The world won't end if another woman steps into the role. The actor/actress will stick around for a few years, then they'll tire of it like they always do, and you'll have a different Doctor to fuss over."

That's actually really funny, because if the Doctor becomes a woman, she won't last more than a year before they either decide to cancel the show or make her regenerate back into a man, at which point it's going to be late, so I think cancellation is in the stars either way. I actually would love if they made a mistake of casting a woman, it would shut up the idiots clamoring for a female Doctor and, at the same time, show everyone just how very wrong they were.

Doctor Who, a legendary show, going up in flames, because it wanted to please a small bunch of SJW audience. Now that would be a site to behold.
