What I would preferred instead is having a new spinoff series where the lead is a female timelord(I think in the old show they referred to them as timeladies).

But dahmage you don’t understand. In the series where the main character is a different body every time they had the audacity to make one of them a woman. A WOMAN. You don’t just make a character that changes bodies all the time inhabit a female body. What do you think this is, Star Trek? It’s Dr. Who, not Who is Dex.

Well duh, Dr. Who isn’t real. Wait…

And yeah. We should all be as calm as you about this. LMAO

Warbler the thing I don’t understand is if there is ever a series the television anywhere in the whole world where it made sense for the main character to change from a man to a woman it is Doctor Who.

and they have obviously hinted at the fact that this could happen many many times throughout the series so I don’t really think you have any legs to stand on with your complaint other than the fact that you just don’t like change.

He doesn’t even mind change, just so long as it doesn’t involve a woman.

This is an ignorant statement that ignores Warbler’s (poorly stated) point in favor of painting him as a sexist.

I agree with Warbler that making the Doctor a woman is stupid and the concept was most definitely used because it’s ‘fashionable’ right now. As far as I’m aware, there were never any references to this being possible in the whole of classic Who. The idea that regeneration can gender-swap is incredibly stupid. It doesn’t make any sense, even considering how little sense regeneration makes already.

That said, I don’t really care. I’m not going to sit here and complain about it endlessly because I don’t like watching current Doctor Who anyway. I lost interest during Capaldi’s first season when I just got tired of being constantly disappointed by terrible stories that make no sense. I actually stopped liking the show for the most part when Matt Smith came, but I kept watching because I still cared, and he grew on me a bit after a while. I’ll stick with Tom Baker and Peter Davison mucking about and acting like they’re in charge in a matter of fact way, rather than watch some guy proclaim that he can save the entire universe from destruction simply because he’s “The Doctor,” as if that makes him important somehow.

As I said he’s stuck in the 1950s.

This is even more ignorant and stupid. And your previous “anti-feminist” accusations towards him show that you have no idea what he’s talking about when he refers to [modern] feminism.

I didn’t call him a sexist, I said that he’s okay with changing the actors as long as the actor isn’t a woman. That’s a 100% accurate depiction of the whole stupid-ass conversation.

I think it’s stupider that Time Lords naturally look human (as opposed to assuming such a form) than that they can oscillate between genders.

But then, I’m not a Doctor Who fan.

I think the people that I hate more than anyone are people that think that their kids are my problem. I was talking to this douchebag that was complaining about how media needs to be policed more so that his precious brat can be more easily sheltered. I’m just thinking, fuck you if you want to shelter your kids from reality then do it in a way that doesn’t affect innocent, responsible people like me that didn’t produce offspring.

we all need protecting from reality. reality is a void that will eat you alive. the idea that ‘reality’ isn’t something you need protecting against flies against the basic tenets of biology.

Author

I’m talking about shielding children from the more grim facts of life by shielding everyone from them. For example, “This book shouldn’t be in stores because children might get their hands on it.” If you want to deprive your children of certain media and certain images, then that’s your problem and your children can suffer for it, but don’t do it in a way that affects innocent people, including children that aren’t subjected to terrible helicopter parents.

I agree, you can’t police the entire world for the benefit of one person. but i still disagree with your original take that ‘reality’ is something that should be embraced. the answer of course is somewhere in-between (probably close to the raw truth side, but still).

Author
Time

I never said anything should be embraced, I just said that it shouldn’t be ignored or covered up. Obviously if you stick your hand in a 500-degree oven, the reality is that you’re burning your hand. That doesn’t mean you should do it, but you should be aware of those consequences. I’m very opposed to intentionally keeping people ignorant, or even unintentionally allowing people to be ignorant, so I think parents are responsible for making sure that their kids don’t end up as ignorant as everyone else is.

Fuck my apartment complex’s management.

So I was significantly late on rent this month thanks to other issues that came up that required stuff like…well…bail money and an attorney. Because of this, I had to pay my rent through means other than the usual online portal. Fine, whatever.

I talked to the leasing office people and asked how much I owed (with extra fees), and if I had to pay with a cashier’s check or money order. They specifically said “either.” Went and got a money order today because it’s slightly cheaper, and brought it to them…

…only to be told, oh, no, we don’t accept money orders in any capacity and haven’t for years, it absolutely has to be a cashier’s check.

So now I don’t know what the fuck to do. I guess I lucked out that I hadn’t yet filled out the “Pay to” part of the money order, so I can just fill in my own name(?) or a friend’s and get the cash back that way, then use it to buy a cashier’s check, but I seriously shouldn’t have to do this. I’d understand (maybe) if the money order was issued from a gas station, but it’s from Chase Bank. And they won’t accept it? Are you fucking kidding me?

There are times when I believe these assholes do this kind of stuff on purpose.
