Dr Who is so PC, I wonder if they ever have room in the scripts for time travel any more?!
To: LYDIAONTARIO
Well now it’s Dr. Why?
As in why watch it?

Woke is broke baby.
Looking forward to not seeing that next James Bond film (cast as a female).
Ill sure love not seeing Natalie Portman cast as Thor.
Oh and what fun it will be skipping the next Iron Woman movie with Ms. Vagina Scented candle taking the mantle of Tony Stark.
And damn, lets kick that next Captain Marvel flick off so I can do something besides going to see it.

Doesn’t make any sense no matter what.
For starts, there is no Dr. Who.

If the fan base is OK with the blatant tokenism then who cares what they do with the Dr. Who franchise? They’re painting themselves into an intersectional corner, though. Woman, black woman, next I guess is trans woman of color but where do they go after that?

Not only that, now that they’ve given ownership of it to these groups, what happens when you yank it. Perhaps I’m jumping the gun. Maybe they never will return to the gender who made the brand successful.

“No other black woman has ever portrayed the Doctor.”
Well, seeing how black women are 1.5% of the UK pop, why is this noteworthy?

You forgot about Ms. Marvel. The first superhero that can fly into buildings faster than a speeding jetliner.

Woman, black woman, next I guess is trans woman of color but where do they go after that? Siamese twins attached at the hip of which one is trans-black female while the other is straight-chinese-midget male?

Writer Chris Chibnall looks like a gay Newman (as in from Seinfeld).

The Dr. Who is not human and can assume any gender or race. That part is fine,as long as there is strong writing for the series.
The problem is that liberals don’t care about strong writing as long as they can be preachy
Being preachy is what could kill Dr. Who.

.....................aaaaaaaaaaand she'll be cast as a lesbo, as well. Don't just take my current word for it. Dig back through two decades of my posts, and you'll see that I said it here first. The Doc was going to go from a flighty white guy with social interaction problems to a black dyke. Next up, they'll find a one-legged Ugandan Muslim albino grandmother to cast, 'cuz you can't get enough of that diversity. Mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm.

Why couldn’t they come up with a new show that had a new story line featuring a black woman?
