Re: Doctor Who tl;dr idk

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, I never thought about it that way before. I guess I'm of the opinion that yelling at (someone you think is) a kid to behave because you think they don't know how to protect themself is better than yelling at an adult and trying to boss them around.

But maybe I just have a different experience with it, because I was a risk-taking little rebellious brat when I was a kid and whenever my parents got really furious at me was when I knew I had really done something dangerous to my safety and scared them shitless; I didn't really take their warnings and instructions seriously otherwise.

Hmmm, you have a valid point! Yelling in that situation wouldn't be so bad, since it's not a lack of respect motivating it. I think I would have objected to Eleven's yelling at Amy a lot less if he weren't already traipsing into highly dangerous situations with her and stuff.

Yeah, he can be kind of an idiot like that :D I think it would make me mad if Amy actually listened to him, but since she kinda just laughs at him, (which he deserves), it instead makes him come off as a cranky old geezer, which transmutes as vaguely adorable in a "lol, I know you mean well and think you're oh so smart, but you're kind of a dumbass" way in my mind.

But I'll acknowledge that I have the privilege of not having any messy personal RL experiences or issues that can be touched off by that kind of behavior in fiction - not implying that you have them, of course! But just as an example, I could totally understand if people who did have them had a far less dismissive attitude than me.

For example, in the very same fandom, I have grandparents who were massively self-righteous and judgmental, and I'm pretty certain it's because I had to listen to them all the time that it took quite a while for the Tenth Doctor to grow on me, because he has those traits too, and while for most of the fandom those traits get a "well sure but who really cares?" reaction, it was difficult for me to see them as just a humanizing character flaw, although I eventually came to love Ten too.

(wow, uh, I kinda tl;dr'd there didn't I?)
