    Default Has Doctor Who become too 'woke' for fans?


    Kevin O'Sullivan: "It has become a woefully woke nightmare, a politically correct intergalactic mess". Broadcaster and Doctor Who fan Mikey Smith says the BBC show has got too political: "I remember in 1984, Colin Baker was the Doctor and one of the big villains was a giant slug... now it's some white businessman in his 50s... a really unsubtle Trump pastiche".



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Some time ago I was saying to a friend of mine, a fairly big Who fan, that its cast seems to deliberately have every type of 'minority' possible as an end in itself.

    That would surely take some doing. Doctor Who fans are in my experience some of the most insufferable middle-class liberal/leftist types, who would eat all that stuff up.

    Nevertheless, subconsciously even a lot of them might reject it and stop watching (while still signalling how awesome it is to have a Woman doctor, and diversity has made the show better than ever).

    I haven't watched the last two seasons with the new Doctor and showrunner but the summary of the episode plots is complete cringe. The new Doctor Who show has alway been 'woke', but gradually they pushed the limit more and more until Chibnall finally jumped the shark.

    After Tennant left back in 2010 the show wasn't worth watching anymore. I can't imagine what it's become in 2020

    Everything is being woke now. I hate it.

    ^Here's a good example of the kind of braindead NPC that TV has cultivated for generations. Every sentiment he has is straight out of his favourite bugman TV programs like Jon Stewart/John Oliver.
