Jesus Christ.

Fictional character. Who gives a shit if they change him into a woman? Get over it.

ok, I’m not going to talk to you about this anymore cause you just don’t want to get it and you don’t want to listen. Please go on considering me the sexist pig you know me to be.

May I remind everyone here that Star Wars is also a work of fiction.

in order to avoid further problems, I will no longer talk about the subject of the Doctor changing genders.

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.

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.

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

Oh of course, and it is. They’re both silly little fantasies. But there’s nothing wrong with that, and nothing to get worked up over. If Obi-Wan had turned into a woman as a way of “becoming more powerful than you could possibly imagine,” I would have been fine with that.

I’m sick of everyone giving Warbler shit and even suggesting that what he is saying makes him someone who is acting like a sexist pig. He simply doesn’t agree with the change about a character and to call him sexist is completely out of line.

No one’s called him sexist. He invited that label upon himself. I did not go so far as to call him a “sexist pig,” but I could not deny that his behavior was akin to one (using “feminist” as a pejorative, for example).

This is why “liberal snowflake” is a commonly used term. Your calling him a sexist for a creative disagreement over a character and their identity.

There is exactly one person acting like a snowflake in this conversation, and it is not me or anyone else agreeing with me. That’s why conservative anti-PC rhetoric is complete bullshit. The other side can be just as reactionary/cry-baby as liberals when they want to be (which is often).

Yes and if they rebooted it with Luke as a woman I wouldn’t give a shit.

They already did that with the force awakens, didn’t you understand the 300 times mala said so?

The idea of the OT being rebooted at all is deeply unsettling. I hope I don’t live to see that day.

Eh.

Movies are things easily ignored if you choose to do so.

Ha, good point.

Well, my family decided it was best for us to leave the area early, before the highways closed. I’m staying with more relatives, but it’s still a lot of driving.

As far as I know we’re sufficiently far enough away from the forest fires across the province for now.

I don’t know why you guys are worried about something as silly as fires when there’s more important things like Doctor Who. 😉
