Re: Things You Have Trouble Accepting As Canon

I refuse to accept that the Doctor Who episode "Love and Monsters" was anything but a self-insert whump fanfic Elton wrote to cope with his memories of meeting the Doctor as a kid the night his mother was killed.

Also the "Let's Kill Hitler" line "well, she's been brainwashed -- plus, she's a woman!" Not because I was all that offended by it, tbh, but more because it doesn't make sense even if you do think the Doctor's the type of person who'd succumb to that level of pettiness because he was panicking over getting poisoned: Time Lords don't have sexism. Putting aside the fact that show is in fact written by human beings (some of whom were from the 1960s), when it comes to actual explicitly sexist statements of opinion stated by the character in-universe, he doesn't have any engrained sexist tendencies or stereotypes to succumb to. Unless he's borrowing human prejudices because he finds them funny to say. Which makes no sense and would be OOC for different reasons.

He'd be more likely to make some offensive-to-Time-Lords comment. Like...I dunno, how these young whippersnappers who have only regenerated twice are so immature their brains can't handle post-regeneration stress, hmph, grumble, damn kids, get off my lawn and stop poisoning me. Or something. (Time Lords do seem like a species whose society would be incredibly ageist.)

The fact that Moffat's sexism is actually voiced in the show bugs me so much. It's like being back in the Pertwee era, but without the excuse of it being the '70s and no one knowing any better.

I'm no RTD worshipper, he could be plenty sexist (and racist), but his sexism and racism was always contextual, came about due to the circumstances of the in-universe events and the story decisions of the writers. The characters at least were never stained by it.
