It can be a difficult line to walk, I think. Like, for me, I definitely enjoy Doctor Who and want to enjoy watching it without getting into endless divisive back-in-the-day wank, but at the same time, it's hard for me to escape the realization that I'd enjoy it more if it had a different writer.

As long as you aren't trying to ruin it for others or keeping those who do enjoy this era from saying so, you aren't really the problem.

In my experience, that's a tall order for the DW fandom.

SA

It does seem to be. I'm not the secret maker, but my issue with the DW fandom is the fans who ruin it for other people and try to force their opinion on everyone. If someone just doesn't like the stuff now, that's cool. But it seems like a very loud portion of the fandom feels the need to ruin it for those of us who do like the current era.

[sparklywalls]

I know what you mean. I have my reservations about the current stuff because tbh Doctor Who has never been perfect so I always have had bits I don't like as much. But I try to conduct such conversations in a respectful way and don't aggressively barge-in where nobody really asked.

It's EXHAUSTING seeing comments underneath posts on the Doctor Who Facebook page (for example) from people who hate the show so much but apparently not enough to just leave the group or ask Facebook not to show as many updates if they truly can't bring themselves to just delete their membership of the page. It's a bit like...life is too short, have you not got anything better to be doing and talking about?

NAYRT

I wish there would be separate groups for different kinds of engagements. But as annoying as it gets at times, I do like that there is a bit of that element in Doctor Who fandom sometimes, that sort of passionate, uncompromising engagement and commitment to nerdery, the little bit of Lawrence Miles in all of us. You have to keep it in proportion though.

[sparklywalls]

I can accept Lawrence Miles because he tends to (most of the time) just stick to his corner of rage. His episode take-downs during the RTD and Moffat eras were fairly amusing if you caught them on time.

You're right about the passion not necessarily being a bad thing but I get why the people who are currently happy might be bummed out if they can't have a positive conversation without being confronted by what feels like a wall of capslock.

Totally!

That's definitely how I felt during the Moffat era, and I would hate for anyone to have to go through that all over again. It's a fresh start with Thirteen--let's LET it be a fresh start.
