Well yeah this is exactly the problem. It'd just be too much of an issue, the writers would feel pressured and inevitably screw up, and we so far have not really had main writers I think are capable of writing a good female Doctor.

I dislike seeing people push for a female Doctor not because I'd hate to have one but more because I'm just so afraid of what would happen if it got screwed up.

Like what if the ratings took a nosedive because of it? Then they'd blame the "female doctor" instead of the bad writing or whatever. That's always what happens when female stories do badly, the fact that it's "female" gets blamed and the real issues get ignored.

Ugh, reading your last sentence made me feel ill because of how unfairly true that is.

(But, but, but...sexism is over, right?!)

Yeah tv execs are sadly quick to blame diversity in a show before they will ever admit that things were poorly advertised/badly written/badly acted or any of the number of problems that come up when fans don't latch on to a new idea in a show.

It's why I'm always very scared when something comes around that either hasn't been done or hasn't been done for a while, because the instant it does bad tv execs will not want to touch it again for years.
