Gay ‘Dr. Who’ actor may have driven away half the show’s audience
American Thinker ^ | 18 May, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

It was inevitable that when Disney took over the venerable British sci-fi show, it would use it to advance the LGBTQ+ agenda.

In 1963, the BBC debuted Dr. Who, a show about an earth-friendly alien who zooms around time and space in his “Tardis,” a spaceship disguised as a 1960s-era police callbox. In every episode, he has exciting adventures with his female sidekick and often saves mankind from bad aliens. The original show was retired in 1983, only to be rebooted in 2005. Along the way, the Doctor periodically “regenerated,” allowing new actors to replace the old ones. The latest regeneration is a woke, black, gay guy. When audiences felt he failed in Dr. Who-ness, he told them not to watch...and it appears that 50% of them promptly turned off their sets.

Dr. Who has always been a leftist show because it’s a BBC production. It routinely castigates Christianity, capitalism, and guns (although it’s perfectly willing to have the good guys take up arms and kill in defense of saving England). However, of late, the show decided to take a dive into the sexual aspect of cultural Marxism. When one of the most popular Dr. Who actors returned to the show for a 60th anniversary special, the BBC inserted transgenderism into the plot:

Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary special clarifies the pronouns of the Doctor after Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration. After being called out for assuming the creature’s pronouns, the Doctor asks Beep the Meep what pronouns to use. The Meep says that, rather than using pronouns, the Meep uses the definite article in conjunction with the creature’s name. The Doctor says, “I do that too,” providing a definitive answer to how the Doctor uses labels after regenerating as both a masculine-presenting and feminine-presenting Time Lord.

The trailer is gay and woke. I only watched half and that was all for me. Bud Light.

The left destroys everything it gets its hands on.

I cannot tolerate anything moral, upright, decent, or good.

He flew into a wormhole to a dimension from which there is no return.

When only a small percentage of the population is gay, the rest want to run the other direction, and Christians try to kindly win them to the Lord, that’s a pretty small demographic to pander to and expect to make a profit. They aren’t too bright for entrepreneurs.

God has withdrawn his hand of protection from much so the world can see what’s been hidden.

BBC did a decent job bringing back the series but it was already getting bad around Capaldi. It’s a shame that Capaldi got so many crummy scripts since he would have been perfect as the Doctor.
I think the show runners just tried some gimmick casting after Capaldi (lady doctor and gay black doctor) to cover up the fact that the writing has been awful. Now when the show fails they can blame Toxic Fandom instead of their incompetence

I never liked Dr. Who, even pre-woke seasons. Now, British comedy? That’s a whole other story.

The DOCTOR is NOT gay, the actor is. And, last night’s episode was a hard slap at the military industrial complex. The show is better than it has been since 2015.

“gay actor drives off half the audience”? that’s queer.

The writer is a moron, Doctor Who has not always been a left wing show. Redixulous article.

David Tennant was a great Doctor. Matt Smith was also interesting. After that, it really declined. I’ve been rewatching the old Who episodes on Tubi (free).

Never watched one episode of Dr. Who is all the years it’s been on. Not my cup of tea and scones with clotted cream.

Tennant was great? Far too emo for me, and season 2 with him and Rose was unwatchable. Smith and Capaldi were far better.

DEI hires (including those hired to promote DEI) have a warped sense of the entitlement.

Like Fani Willis, Letitia James, Claudine Gay (of Harvard), Tiffany Henyard (Mayor of Dolton, Ill).

They believe they are bullet-proof and can do as they like because of their entitlement.

"[Their] chickens are coming home to roost" (to quote Jeremiah Wright).

I was a fan of the Doctor from 1983 on Georgia Public Broadcasting.   When Sylvester McCoy became the new Doctor in 1988 on GPB that was it for me.

When Doctor Who came back in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston, I was hooked again!

I watch the spinoffs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures too.

Then when they slipped Jodie Whittaker in, to jump the shark, I was out of there again.   About a year later I had missed watching the show so much, I thought I'd give it a try but the moment her estrogen outweighed logic and reality, it grossed me out so much I told myself, never again.
