These people accuse others of overreacting and being "too quick to anger", and then try their hardest to be more reactionary and idiotic than even their flimsiest strawmen.

Lets not focus on the garbage, I'm sure there's a lot of people on there excited and happy about this news, and while I'm all for mocking MRAs, I think we shouldn't act like there's more of them then there actually are. They raise a fit for these things so their dumb hatred and outrage will overshadow and control the…

I think there's something wrong with his spacebar.

… oh fuck you're right! It's like they did everything possible to remind fans that this was possible and prepare people for this, and some dense assholes still decided to act like this "came out of nowhere".

50 of those question are from my own works of fanfic, but if you're a big enough fan, you should be familiar with them as well.

So even less influential and important than I thought.

Hey pal, stop describing me, it's getting weird.

How do these people who claim to be diehard fans of the show forget that it's a established fact that Timelords can change gender between reincarnations and that they've mentioned and hinted that this could happen to the doctor quite a bit?

Hmm, fair point. Here's my counterargument.

We'd better get a three headed Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker, and David Tenant doctor after this.

It's like they conveniently forgot the point of the series is that he's a regenerating alien that can turn into anything so they could be outraged.

gotta be better than Moffat!

This is a good attitude to have.

These guy never see the stuff they're mad about. They get angry at the mere fact that there's a woman in it now, post a few angry tweets, and then move on, not bothering to watch it to see if it's what they assume it was.

I'm glad I don't know who that is.

It's pretty sad to me that giving a woman a role for a character who has been stated multiple times to have the ability to change gender during reincarnation is called a "sjw" gimmick.

For those who are upset about this, remember that female fans of the show have been watching this show with a guy playing the doctor the entire time.

You know, I've alway been disturbed at the idea that "trolling" and the dickish ways people interact online could influence peoples behavior offline.

Being a shitposting troll seems to have more consequences than just being a sociopathic asshole though, strangely.

Good to know this guy is still a petty asshole bitter about the fact that his idiocy cost him his company.
