So, the new “Doctor” in Doctor Who is a woman. Which, given that nobody knows what the gender of a Gallifreyan is anyhow, means fuck all. Yet the delicate white male broflakes are having a mass meltdown over it anyhow. Which is a “what the *fuck* is the matter with you?!” moment for anybody with half a brain. Which obviously isn’t the privileged white broflakes who are whining that their Doctor has an inny rather than an outy. Sheesh. Dumbfucks.

The folks who produce the show took into account the (non existent) drop in ratings when “I’m not ever watching it if The Doctor isn’t male” group follows through, and figured that it’s no big loss.

Eh, they probably figure they’ll get more girls to watch it, so it’ll all fall to their advantage. I’m just entertained by the notion that poor white delicate broflakes are so easily offended that a sci-fi kid’s show can give’em a case of the vapors just by having the lead character have one of those things Donald Trump grabs.

I think there was a similar melt down with Battlestar Galactica 2.0. Who knew popcorn futures were going to be the hot commodity in the 21st-century? Missed out on that, along with all the tech stocks in the 80s and 90s…

Yeah, I know what ya mean. A friend of mine bought a few thousand shares of some junk stock by some unknown company in 1979. And another few thousand shares of yet *another* unknown company in 1980. The first company was Microsoft. The second company was Intel. He no longer has to work for a living.
Man, if I’d stocked up on popcorn futures in 1999….

I wonder how many content producers have figured out that they’ll get a positive counter-reaction from people who are able to THINK if they deliberately put out stuff that causes rage amongst the booger-eaters? Seems to be working for CNN’s rating and subscriptions for the New York Times, according to infosnippets I’ve seen.

I confess to a very sexist reaction. My first thought was “Oh, I could watch her for an hour. Maybe I should check out that tired old show again.”

If she has the same snarky wit, and the same creepy benevolence, then she’s still the Doctor.
