Brace yourselves. This gonna be a muthaf*ckin’ thread. 🧵👊
 
This BRILLIANT article in the @guardian proves how OFFENSIVE the new series of Doctor Who is.
 
By pretending to be woke, this series has been able to mask its obvious white supremacy and anti-LGBTQIA+ hatred...

[1/8]

Firstly, the producers of Doctor Who have fooled viewers into thinking that their stories are trans inclusive by including trans people in their stories. 
 
It’s the oldest trick in the book. 🤦🏽‍♀️

In one episode, a gay security guard is killed by a dalek, clearly implying that all gay people deserve to be murdered by cyborgs.

How many robotics experts will be exposed to this dangerous material?

This isn’t science-fiction. This is incitement to violence.

[3/8]

In the episode ‘Angstrom’, a lesbian character is revealed to have married a corpse.

They want us to believe that all lesbians are necrophiliacs, when it can’t be more than 30% at most.

Then the Doctor tells Graham that there is a moral problem with killing a genocidal alien, thereby CLEARLY endorsing the fascists at Charlottesville.
 
This isn’t subtle, people.

[5/8]

The plotline about a delivery company TOTALLY fails to tackle the evils of capitalism and institutionalised power structures.

Instead we have to listen to the Doctor giving some wishy-washy speech about how you shouldn’t kill people because of peace or ethics or something

[6/8]

Oh, and Rosa Parks has only appeared in ONE episode.
 
Surely the most respectful thing would be to make her the Doctor’s permanent sidekick?

[7/8]

Thank you @guardian for bravely calling out this problematic TV show.

We must #BanDoctorWho & erase all previous episodes so we can pretend it never existed.
 
As George Orwell wrote in one of his motivational self-help books: ‘Who controls the past controls the future’.
