VIEWERS have accused Doctor Who bosses of swiftly killing off gay and lesbian characters.
They voiced anger online after a security guard was murdered in the New Year’s Day special.
It happened just seconds after the guard revealed he had a boyfriend — and followed the slayings of two lesbian characters in October.
The guard, played by Connor Calland, was seen challenging a Dalek-controlled character called Lin.
Asked who can unlock a fingerprint-operated door, he said: “Today, just me. Most secure digits in Yorkshire. That’s what I tell my boyfriend, anyway.”
Seconds later he was exterminated.
Doctor Who chiefs Chris Chibnall and Matt Strevens vowed to feature LGBT characters “from across the spectrum” in the latest series, which stars Jodie Whittaker as the Time Lord.
But one fan wrote: “I see Chris Chibnall continues to expand LGBT rep in Doctor Who in the form of corpses rather than characters. Yep, I see what you did there, and what you seem to keep doing.”
Another said the season has been peppered “with one-off, often unnamed gay characters” who are instantly killed. Alex Tyler said: “Oh wow the gay guard that dies after two lines, is this the diversity and inclusion BBC were promising?”
A Doctor Who source said: “There were several key LGBT characters throughout this series, as has been the case since the show returned in 2005.”
I was never wild about Sylvester’s doctor either.
The entire season is SJWho.
Good to see a woke af show being roasted for not being woke enough. Keep eating your own, NPCs.
The hell with Dr. Who, I prefer Doc Martin.
Yeah! That was it. I was totally stuck for an answer to Dr. Sivana’s question.
Thanks!
I watched the first four. I didn’t have a problem with the Doctor being a woman, although I could have imagined a bit better woman Doctor than the one they came up with. But they killed it for me with all of the SJW/GlobalClimateWarmingChange nonsense.
AFAIC only the first episode was anything like a traditional Dr. Who story and that one only nominally so.
Dr. Who is dead, Jim!
lol What a coincidence. See #27.
“Today, just me. Most secure digits in Yorkshire. That’s what I tell my boyfriend, anyway.”
Rivetting writing. These people really capture the essence of humanity. They understand the gay people wholly.
The Doctor also had a lesbian sidekick, Bill, for an entire season with Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.
Sort of like the next couple to gruesomely die in a horror film are the ones who just had sex. Or being stuck with the red jersey as a member of an Enterprise away team. You just know.
Bring back Tom Baker
I had no idea. Haven’t wither Dr Who, or much of anything in the way of TV in many years.
Looks like I haven’t missed much.
wither=watched. Otto Kor Wrecked has gotten dumber.
Capaldi was a good Doctor and the scripts were good. IMO.
I wasn’t crazy about the idea of a lesbo sidekick when they
first introduced her but they didn’t make too much of a thing
about it. She wasn’t the best sidekick ever but not the worst either.
reading the title on the latest posts page made me lol!
btt!
A Whovian for 40 years, I’m not watching her.
I just canceled my ticket for the 30th annual Dr Who con in LA. Tickets for it sell out in 24 hours of going on sale almost a year in advance. It’s run by gay men, SJW’s, and extremely tolerant people (who are not tolerant of Christians, it seems). They were over the moon about the woman doctor last February, and I know it’s going to be even more obnoxious this year. I’ll miss meeting friends there but the adoration of the woman doctor “it’s about time!” would be too much.
It’s fiction, folks.
It doesn't take a Rocket Surgeon or Brain Scientist to figure that out.
Dr. Who will be exterminated by Nurse Who.
