I do care about some things, especially blatant things in current works. Don't get me started on Moffat's portrayal of women. Just don't.

However I just don't see the point in getting all worked up about a sexist line here or an off-color portrayal of a disabled character there in things made 20-30 years ago. Like I make note of it, catalog it, but the thing I'm watching isn't exactly in public conscious anymore. And that doesn't even begin to take into consideration the external factors.

Like first season of the new Doctor Who, the companion Rose has a line saying "That's so gay."

1) It's one line.
2) It's from something that's over 8 years old now.
3) The writer who wrote it is gay himself.

So what am I supposed to do? Think 'OMG that line was so wrong' every time I watch it? Accuse RTD of 'internalized homophobia'? The critical thinking is there I guess, but without some end goal/cause to drive it to, it sort of drifts slowly to the ground and poofs into dust.

God I didn't remember that :/ I would have been pissed, I can fucking criticise RTD if I want, and I do.

Out of curiosity, you say you would've been pissed. Does that mean you aren't pissed right now and - if so - is that because of the amount of time that's passed since the line's conception and now?

It's been aaaaages since I watched anything with RTD & Rose. RTD's moved on now. I wasn't even in the fandom when I was watching RTD/Rose. I don't have the energy to give a fuck now, except to make a frowny face.
