“Just because the female Doctor Who failed doesn't make it sexist.”

This is the first thing you said. You’re being blatantly dishonest that it was just about it being a failure with sexism being incidental. Whether the response was sexist or not was the main part of all of this, because that’s the only thing Phil said about the DW fandom, which is the post you responded to first. Don’t lie about what the discussion was actually about as if it wasn’t plainly obvious and right there where anyone can see you’re lying.

Me mentioning it’s subjective that the material of 13’s run was a failure was one sentence, whereas me mentioning that there was provable evidence that some of the reception to 13 was sexist was the main bulk of my reply. You’re again being dishonest trying to tell me what the main part of my response was, when I would know better than you that it wasn’t whether the run was a failure. So you continuing to not address information that proves you wrong about the sexist reactions to 13, and moving the goalposts while lying that “it was actually only really about it being a failure, so I don’t have to address that I was wrong about the sexism” is transparent.

And it still very much is subjective whether 13’s run was a failure, considering works that don’t do well at the initial stages get reappraised all the time. So you using these numbers to argue against something I never said, that it was a critical and merchandise failure, is disingenuous and irrelevant. It was a critical disappointment, not failure, and again, art gets reappraised all the time. And it still has many positive reviews from critics. Plus, your language about people who think differently than you speaks volumes, especially because you have no evidence to back you up.

You have nothing to back you up that the group of people that like 13’s run is a “very-very small (albeit vocal) minority of fans”, because that’s the kind of numbers that you can’t actually accurately measure outside of viewership ratings. Instead, you’re making assumptions based upon your own biases and generalizations. The numbers might not be stellar critically and commercially, but the viewership numbers are about the same as most other runs. Even though they did fluctuate, which is what you’re referring to when you said it didn’t “keep the numbers”. But it’s not actually the ratings tragedy you’re trying to make it out to be. Compared to some of the other runs, it wasn’t a hit. But with views in the millions pretty much all the way through, it wasn’t a failure. You should know that if you looked up the other numbers, but you conveniently left it out because it goes against your narrative. So much for very-very small minority of fans, unless you think the viewership of the 12th Doctor’s run was very-very small too.

It’s obvious you’re acting in bad faith, cherry-picking, and being dishonest, intellectually and literally. As well as picking and choosing what to respond to and what to ignore based on you having no actual counter-arguments to some points, and leaving out important details when they go against what you wants the facts to be. Pretty much lying by omitting crucial details, on top of the actual lies you’ve told. So I’m done trying to have an earnest discussion with someone who’s not willing to act in good faith or stop being willfully obtuse.
