Doctor Who

Thing despite the headline the article is actually positive toward the show and its multicultural and LGBTQ+ cast and crew.

In a recent interview with Attitude, the Sex Education star has spoken about the irrelevance of trolls: ‘You are so angry over something so inconsequential that you can’t be an interesting person. You can’t have much in your life.’

But the bigoted straight white men who have spiralled into a meltdown clearly haven’t been paying attention to the reboot’s rich and ever-evolving history of multiculturalism and LGBTQ inclusionon.

If anything, there is still a long way to go to make Doctor Who diverse – both in front and behind the camera.

The upcoming season only features one episode from female screenwriters and none from writers of colour. There is also yet to be a modern-era showrunner who isn’t a white man.

As the show looks towards a bright future – boosted by a major global deal with Disney+ – Ncuti’s Doctor is only the beginning of everything this show can become. It is certainly not for just one demographic.

Elsewhere, we’ve seen explicitly queer companions such as Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), who got her almost-fairytale lesbian ending, as well as a prominent storyline featuring trans actor Yasmin Finney who plays Donna’s daughter. Need I go on?

That title is outrageous.

Without the word "bigoted" in there, she is implying that ALL straight white men are bigoted.

And this is someone who claims to be woke? Apparently the feelings of non-bigoted straight white males don't matter.

Leftie wokeist's are allowed to be bigoted because everyone else is a '-phobic' or '-ist' and therefore fair game.

As I can neither lay claim to being able to act nor write TV scripts I can't really judge someone else's talent. I think to many people claim bad writing and acting for so much TV content these days because they simply don't like it.

It seems to be the most common response from people when they don't like something.

Oh no, not this argument from middle school again. Which is basically breaks down to "You're not as good as x footballer so you can't criticise him"

People don't like bad writing and bad acting because it's not very good - is this some sort of revelation to you?

:cry:

Absolutely bonkers headline from the Metro and I'm glad to see that people are now pushing back hard against this sort of thing and it's causing some people and/or companies to cancel themselves.

The thing people are starting to push back against is RACISM, like this headline.

And it's about time.

Indeed. I’ve never tried my hand at neurosurgery, but I can certainly criticise one who takes a Kango hammer into the operating theatre.

Maybe they are filing it with wokery as they know the likes of @steve5424 will defend it no matter how crap it gets?

The show is now that bad they have had to resort to a "us against them" mentality, Rings of Poop did the same "if you don't like it you're a bigot" - and it doesn't work anymore, people aren't cowed into silence by being called bigots by talentless people who hate them, and people who are only really interested in getting social equity points on Twitter.

Headlines often aren't written by the authors to be fair, that will have been written by an editor. So it's not a surprise the article itself is fine.

Yep, they mentioned this on 'The rest is entertainment' podcast last week.

Headlines are written to get people to read the article. They are the original clickbait.

Possibly, but the writer has nothing to do with the headline, so people going off on them on twitter or whatever is stupid.

Unfortunately people have the attention span of a fly and only read headlines, not articles.

Movie critics don't act and can't write scripts.
Food critics aren't Michelin star chefs

Cause woke is a stupid word that seems to literally mean whatever the people that use it want it to mean. Don't like something, issues with race, gender, disability etc etc then it's wOkE.

No it means one thing.

the woke people will try and claim otherwise and it's just trolls and review bombing campaigns by organised groups...

So tell me what you think it means. As its been in use since the 1920s and referred to African Americans being aware of social injustice and prejudice toward them. More recently it was evolved to include all types of racism, bigotry and social injustice toward Minority groups.

However the more right leaning folk have hijacked it and tried to make being woke a bad thing.

it means what that Singaporean Prime Minister said.

obviously modern day stems from the overly politically correct brigade from about 20 years ago and went full mental from there.
