I think some people are forgetting that this show (which, for disclosure, I have never seen) is “fiction.”

So is Wonder Woman. What do you think would happened if they made a movie and cast a man in the part and called it Wonder Man?

I’ve only seen a couple episodes and from what I understand there are all manners of science fictional, fantastical, magical elements. Guess becoming a different gender is too unbelievable or something, who knows, I’m sure there’s a reasonable and non-reactionary anti-PC explanation for the outrage.

It’s weird that you acknowledge it but still don’t think it’s a bad thing.

I was trying to avoid the new Doctor announcement to be somewhat surprised at the reveal, but okay then.

It’s weird that you either failed to recognize sarcasm or made a joke that fell flat.

Also, I guess I have to read a thread I don’t care about now.

It’s not all this last page in this thread has it cracked up to be. Basically they are making the doctor a female, and warbler is opposed to it simply because of character reasons and because it’s a long running series and he’s used to it being a male. I don’t know if people actually think warb is a sexist pig or if they are just poking fun at him but either way he’s obviously not a sexist pig he just doesn’t want a fictional character he likes to change and is not harming or bEing prejudiced against actual trans people at all so I really think everyone needs to relax.

PS Ive never seen doctor who so I have no opinion on the actual issue.

WW has no history of being able to change her physcial appearance. Bad costume designs notwithstanding.

I think there’s really only one person getting worked up about it. I just think it’s a silly sci-fi show and still don’t understand why a character who changes bodies constantly can’t become a woman. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken so long.

I don’t think he’s a sexist pig but he is certainly trying his hardest to act like one.

Do you really not understand why that would be an issue or are you just being facetious?

That’s a very unfair way to describe his comments. I think you know it too.

Wonder Woman is a bad example, but his point is that if he were pissed off about an originally female character being cast as a man, no one would be giving him shit for it and you’d probably agree with him.

EDIT: I have no problem with woman Dr. Who by the way.

If it is ok to switch a character from male to female, it must follow that it is ok to switch a character from female to male.

Yeah, I am sure I am the only one in the world upset about this. right.

Maybe you should have said only one person here? Oh wait. I think OOjason voiced his disapproval too.

This “silly” show has existed for over 50 years now. Maybe it is important to some fans? What I don’t understand is if a Timelords can switch genders via regeneration, why in the over 20 regenerations seen from various characters in both new and old Who not once did gender change until Missy. Not once.

I don’t think he’s a sexist pig but he is certainly trying his hardest to act like one.

whatever.

Hey, some people think Star Wars is a bunch of silly stuff. 😉
