Straight white men held the franchise together during the wilderness years.....

Holy shit, they actually said that.
Some sanity in the comments, at least. And I'm guessing they got some feedback on Twitter as well, because:

It’s amazing really. Especially because the people complaining about why stuff is failing now were the same people being taught ‘if you want to convert and pass on the message do it with things people like’

I’m convinced RTD is the only sane one left in the room and is internaly screaming ‘this won’t work, trust me, I know what I’m doing, you got all of your progresdive values from watching my show in 2005. And all of your cool female characters are by and large thanks to the dude I left running the show. Please stop trying to ruin stuff’

Stop white knighting RTD. He's too fucking far gone. Brexit, Trump Derangement Syndrome and his own wealthy out of touch with reality bullshit from being part of the liberal elite and his insane butt-hurt that his protege/BFF Chinball got told to fuck off when Chinball crashed the series with no survivors has made him not human, but an anti-life abomination who would gladly scorch earth the Doctor Who franchise beyond all repair (and then sell the remains to Disney) out of spite towards people who told his BFF he was a hack for YEARS and people who told the black guy I'm almost certain RTD is probably fucking, that people didn't want him as the new Doctor Who.

It's a setting with time travel as the central premise and alternate realities, reality alteration, memory muckery and more as recurring plot tools. If they want to say the original Doctor was Hitler that could be plausibly done within the parameters the setting allows.

I admit I haven't seen the Timeless Child stuff but was that revelation brought by said original Doctor? If so awesome, pick one of a long list of time travelling villains who it could have been fucking with them. The Master is the easiest go to but the list is expansive.

All of which is moot. The current Who run is an attempt to make it seem like selling it to Disney is a reasonable choice. As soon as it's proposed the response should be "nope, created by and owned by the British tax payer. BBC does not have the say and for proposing it should have someone fired." World being what it is it will be one more thing Disney owns and never does anything with as good as the originals.

1. They've explicitly stated Hitler is not the Doctor and done at least one TV episode where Doctor Who had to stop River Song from killing Hitler the second she first found out about time travel.

2. RTD DID give an out for the Celestial Toymaker being responsible for the whole "Timeless Child" retcon in The Giggle, but then backpeddled and said that it was the reverse: that all previous lore was the retcon and that the Celestial Toymaker simply did vague shit to make the Doctor forget that he was the Timeless Child. Sort of like the way that DC has gone out of it's way to say "80 years of lore with Alan Scott being straight and hetereosexual were retcons, because someone removed the Golden Age Red Lantern from lore and without meeting Golden Age Red Lantern, Alan would never even think about being gay".

At least Big Finish is still making Doctor Who stories....

Which are still woke as fuck with canon tranny companions, super woke politics, and a fucking audio drama that was entirely about shitting on HP Lovecraft, to the point of saying he was more evil than the Master, Davros, Fenric, and Great Intelligence combined and how the denouncement of said story was the Doctor (IIRC the Sixth Doctor) and his black gay tranny companion bragging about how glad the future doesn't belong to monsters like Lovecraft and instead, belongs to black gay tranny types.
 
The worst part of all of this is that a boycott is uneffective.

Everyone can literally stop watching, it doesnt matter. Dr Who is basically state funded through TV licences , aka, the tax payer is indirectly funding them, they like it or not.

This show is basically state funded propaganda now, it wont ever go away unless there is some serious internal change of power but thats unlikely to happen so, at least for now, the show will live on and pretend its mere existence is an own to the "chuds" or something.

But hey, the show is a legit reminder that this is what our men died for in WW2, so if it ever comes down to fighting for a nation that hates you, well, dont do it.

Not sure why they bothered, its not like whites are the type to actually do something drastic about it. Now if it were niggers or sand niggers? Oh for sure they should be afraid, streets would be burning or they couldnt leave their house without the fear some fanatic would stab them to death.
 
Anyone else getting hit with shill channels in Youtube recommends lately? The last day or so Youtube keeps pushing these small channels that seem to exist solely to gaslight fans and cover for the show's fuck ups. This morning alone I've seen multiple videos pretending the terrible ratings are actually a good thing or due to weather or whatever.



I don't recall this happening in previous seasons, despite terrible episodes and floundering ratings of their own. Plenty of whining by the media, but no channels being pushed on me by the algorithm. But now that Disney is involved, suddenly shills are getting promoted by YT every time I refresh.

I don't even watch Doctor Who stuff anymore, haven't for a decade now actually. I haven't even watched the usual Disney critic channels (Mauler, Drinker, etc) in ages, I've been watching nothing but ghost stories and other paranormal type videos the last month. So it's very weird to see this stuff suddenly appear in my recommends. This really smells like a PR marketing team at work.
 
@MirrorNoir
One retarded Sixth Doctor audioplay shouldn't be enough to condemn Big Finish to the rubbish bin of history
What a stupid story considering how in DW lore the Greater Old Ones exist especially with the Great Intelligence being a later version of Yog-Sothoth
Nevermind the fact that the Doctor is also friends with Stalin and Churchill....

It's not state funded propaganda anymore. Chinball so utterly killed the golden goose that to remove him/get RTD back, they had to take the nasty step of licensing the property out to RTD (something they had threatened to do in the wilderness years, as far as the often mentioned US reboot that was pitched) and his production company and RTD having to cut his deal with Disney, selling international distribution rights to them in exchange for money to make the show to the standard that RTD demanded.

And the BBC has long had a love/hate relationship with Doctor Who. When the show is hot/actually pulling it's weight and making them money, they adore it. But when it's underperforming and not bringing in big bucks via foreign distribution deals and merchandise, then it's an embarrassment and something forever under threat of cancellation.

Disney will keep the show going for a while but one has to also expect Disney only got involved because they want to buy Doctor Who outright after RTD finishes killing the franchise off. And there are definitely people at the BBC who would gladly sell the franchise to Disney if they could, just to be rid of an embarrassing franchise that has long been an embarrassing stain on the haughty BBC copybook.

Idk, man, how many more bad years are they willing to handle? Is the ESG/DEI money that much that it can compensate any looses? That is assuming they even care for money at this point, they might prefer to crash the whole thing if it means getting the message spread.

One must wonder why the rat even bothered getting involved in this. Surely they can see the writing on the wall, right? Or is the rat doing what it does and simply buying just to own the IP?

I mean, I've gotta say, they are playing the long game with them just waiting for the IP to get devalued enough to make their move.

Do it to own the IP and them they get to sell and market all the aspects of the show that people actually like. Like there was basically no merch or toys for 13 for example and it had generally been declining since 12. That is 2 straight doctors of badically nothing after about a decade of merchandising dominance.

I bet they are praying RTD can fire shit up to make a bazillion toys.

Iger recently stop a bid to oust him from power at Disney/replace his woke hatchetmen on Disney's board of directors and has tripled down on woke shit since then even though Disney is bleeding money and has burnt through most of their reserves trying to stay afloat. They'll keep going until they literally crash everything with no survivors at this point.

Also, Disney has been hording IP since the early 10s purely to monopolize everything they can and pervert it with anti-life. Their early excuse was "we want to expand our shit to get the male/boy demographic" after locking up the female/girl demo with their Disney Princess initiative. But they quickly betrayed that basis once they bought Star Wars and stated "fuck men/boys, we want to feminize EVERYTHING and the only male/boy demo we even remotely care about are minorities".

Always bothered me, this claim. Completely disregards the numerous Disney movies Marketed towards boys that disney started actively attempting to sabotage internally for some reason. Hercules, Tarzan, Atlantis, Treasure Planet, all of them pretty solid animated movies but the latter 2 were the ones that got big time hit with that internal competitition/sabotage shit.

Not with more and more people refusing to pay the tv license, It's at least partly why they had to go to Disney.
 
They tell us not to watch it if we don't like it. They tell us the show wasn't made for us. Then they act all surprised when people don't tune in. Seriously. Wtf did you think was going to happen?
