DOCTOR WHO Star Hits Back At "Doctor Woke" Claims: "[It] Means Inclusive, Progressive And That You Care"

@bobevanz - Like moth to a flame 😂

@bobevanz -

I'm glad I'm making a difference.

Liberals hate when conservatives tell people the truth and expose liberals' tricks, deceptions, and lies.

@bobevanz - 😆

@MakeAmericaGrea - (a small but unfortunately vocal minority)

@Vigor - I don't know why most of them insist on commenting on shows they likely never watched or if they did at one point probably stopped doing so at least three seasons ago. Dr Who has always evolved to fit and address issues of the time, the regeneration trick helps with that as does companions mostly only sticking around for a season or two and for a show that was originally created in large part by a female (Verity Lambert) and a dude born in India (Waris Hussein) I am all for the new companion being a British-Indian actress.

The trailers look even better than they did for last season and IMO last season was the best the show has been since Matt Smith left. Capaldi and Whittaker were strong actors in the role of the Doctor but were let down a LOT by the scripts etc, esp Jodie who felt sidelined too oft in her own show by the male more comedic companions with the constant splitting of the team.

I know some took issue with a couple episodes with little of the Doctor in last season but the one almost entirely about a branch timeline Ruby Sunday was brilliant IMO.

Anyway, hope the writing is great and it is well recieved cos the Ncuti is a brilliant Doctor, one of my top three of all time (inc against classic Dr Who actors) and want him to have the greenlight and stick around for a third season (as the norm is only three seasons per actor in the titular role).

@TheVisionary25 - Like all modern Who to varying degrees, and tastes differ, just Capaldi more due to narrative reasons than the actor was a step down from Smith and Tennant for me and always tended to prefer the more high energy incarnations like Tom Baker from classic. Ncuti feels a lot like a mix of my first two Doctors, Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker from the classic era so...

@Django79 -
"woke"

Woke is referring to the concept of people being awake and asleep.

When applied to society, in the view of the 'woke', they are awake on social issues. Everyone else is wrong because they are asleep and therefore complicit. As someone 'woke' it is your duty as a chosen one to lecture them, they are beneath you as they are not as enlightened as you are. It has become a religion combined with a fashion statement. Your every action is that of a martyr because only you know whats right and wrong. As we know from the marketing for Eternals, these people are so deluded they believe they are legitimately saving lives by making media that people don't even watch because of how bad it is.

That is the mindset of the majority of people who have been making entertainment for the last decade or so.

If they shut-up, wrote strong stories and just let the work speak for itself then characters would connect with people and they'd potentially inspire people to create an actual positive change through strong representation. Instead they drown everyone in their politics before the media is even released because they need you as the audience to know that you are evil and that they are in the right and look at them for being so brave to do something as basic as cast an actor or write a character that exhibits traits.

People gravitated to Mickey Smith, Jack Harkness, Martha Jones and countless other characters who represented varying groups in Doctor Who when it was revived in 2005 - and it wasn't because the show runner and/or actors did an article calling everyone racist, sexists, homophobic, etc...

"extra barriers black people"

What barriers exist and what barriers remain?

"It doesn’t mean taking away from other groups"

By definition it does because you are giving a specific group favoritism, even at a simplified level favoritism creates resentment, entitled/spoiled individuals and a feeling of unworthiness. We see that reflected in societal structures and with those who benefit or lose out based on such favoritism.

Anthony Mackie has recently spoken out about questioning the value of hard work because he no longer believes that hard work creates results - instead believing that the black community will be gifted things by others. This actor no longer feels he earned his role because of how he's been treated over the last five years or so. I imagine it must have been rough having been given the mantle of another character, be raring to prove yourself as an actor in a leading role and then you get relegated to a Disney+ show focused on how you are black and how the world is racist. Disney took a look at your character and his potential and came away with 'hes black' and nothing else.

Ncuti prides himself for achieving his acclaimed role after an incredibly long and grueling audition process that lasted so long he was tempted to quit acting all together. To go from being awarded a role because he earned it through literal blood sweat and tears (being homeless, having no money to his name at the time) to stating during his first ever interview after they revealed he was The Doctor, he stated he never had an audition and was selected because his history of fleeing genocide, according to RTD, mirrored that of The Doctor - is devaluing his abilities and work as an actor. No wonder he is likely leaving the role to pursue other jobs at the end of this season.

@Django79 - About halfway in they cite the article where the New Gay Black Doctor tells fans not to watch. They listened.

@SonOfAGif - yes it's what they do. Take a term and then rejig it
They did it with black lives matter (all lives matter), woke, and somehow turned Diversity Equity Inclusion into a bad thing

@SonOfAGif - Electric cars are Nazi War machines now - Congress is trading them in for gas guzzling SUVs.

@DudeGuy - Because you guys want to rewrite history for your own benefit.

@DudeGuy - Says the guy that "doesn't need a history lesson" because "words migrate". Is the paranoia of people learning the truth and history of something too much for you to fathom?

@Vigor - yeah, you wear masks and can’t define what a woman is.

@SonOfAGif - I guess so pal. Glad you have it all figured out. Hope you have a good day when Trumps term is done.

@Vigor - Three of the Top 5 EVs are Tesla, so they're the only one that matters

@SonOfAGif - yeah. From Bill Maher. A liberal. I don’t just associate with or listen to one group of people unlike you. Have a nice day madam. Or sir, whatever you folk prefer.

@ObserverIO - we’ll be fine.
