Why can't aces just say they hate lesbians and be done with it like normal homophobes instead of dressing it up as progressive.

I just saw an asexual activist on twitter ask people to list times they've experience institutional acephobia and among the replies a 16 year old replied saying that their teacher at school taught her class about safe sex and it made her uncomfortable. Fucking hell.

I like how this posits the sexual assault of a man simply doing his job as a good thing...

let’s talk about how doctor who took a child who’s considered “disruptive” and obviously criticized by teachers - a child who, in real life, and many pieces of media would be demonized by everyone and simply dismissed as lazy and unintelligent - and made her the first woman on the moon, gave her the bravery and intelligence to stop a huge, terrifying spider and – in the doctor’s words - “save the earth”, and made her the president of the united states.

like that’s so great and important

[tardistrouble]

he also refused to tell her she was special and made her feel unimportant for no reason whatsoever, but whatever

[tardistrouble]

'remember when clara oswald sacrificed her life to save the doctor’s and consequently everybody in the universe'

no, because the narrative framed it as only saving the doctor, and she didn't even sacrifice her life, she jumped in and walked out unharmed offscreen for unexplained reasons

"i do not understand people who think rtd's work was super progressive i'm sorry, WE'VE NEVER EVEN HAD A GAY KISS ON THE SHOW UNTIL JUST NOW"

we literally had one in 2005

a kiss which was full of gratitude and love and fear, and just as meaningful as the kiss given to rose, showing how jack loves both genders equally and naturally

lets be honest, the jenny/vastra kiss wasn't even a kiss, it was her sharing oxygen

the way eleven manhandles his companions is so gross, it just makes me feel uncomfortable, he's slamming poor amy against a brick wall? obligatory nine/ten would never etc.

(before anyone chimes in, this is not the ganger. you're meant to think it is, but it turns out to actually be eleven)

[tardistrouble]

thank god we have these two straight white dudes to enlighten us all that steven moffat isn't sexist

whatever would we do without them!

river song is bad bisexual representation because if you asked a hundred viewers who aren't in fandom i can guarantee that 100% would be under the impression that she is straight

a comment on twitter and a line about not fancying someone are not good visibility, it's even worse than dumbledore because at least there was heavy subtext with him

maybe if there was a plethora of bisexuals showing the variety of the spectrum under moffat it wouldn't matter, but all there is is oswin "it was just a phase! i'm straight really don't worry" oswald

"And there's a moment with two [Amys/Claras] in it. If you're a red-blooded male surely that's enough! You've got [Amy/Clara] flirting with herself.”

anyone else find this gross and fetishising?

Expectations were sky high for Doctor Who’s Christmas special, which doubled as a farewell to Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor. For better or for worse, showrunner Steven Moffat delivered an episode brimming with the excesses of his tenure. “The Time Of The Doctor” features a frustratingly complicated plot, unnecessary retcons for past inconsistencies, and a painfully unfunny nudity joke, leaving little time to explore its characters’ emotional arcs. A new antagonist slots neatly into Moffat’s oft-used “flirty and aggressive woman” archetype while the main female character maintains an unwavering faith in the Doctor even after he betrays her trust and strips away her agency—twice. The 11th Doctor finally dies of old age after spending hundreds of years of his life defending a random planet—hardly a fitting end for Smith’s exuberant, active Doctor. Moffat fans were happy with the send-off, but everyone else was left hoping for something better from Peter Capaldi’s run as the 12th Doctor. Arbitrary Tournament superlative: Winner of the Steven Moffat Memorial “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” Award.

Thank you for doing your best with your responses. I just had to block tardistrouble. He/she accused me of lying about my cousin's suicide attempts and him staying in a mental hospital! I got really angered at that.

Oh my god.

Yeah I blocked them too so I didn’t see that. What a total piece of garbage. I’m sorry you had to put up with that.

They seem very ableist and a bully, I won’t be engaging with them.

[tardistrouble]

can you not read? i said you lied about stfu-moffat saying every-day daleks represented mentally ill people

you're even doing it again, you're lying now! you're lying about me accusing you of lying about something which i didn't, i deliberately didn't touch on that subject because it was sensitive and not my place

[vigilforgallifrey]

People REALLY need to know that the Daleks were originally based off Nazis. That makes fans painting them as metaphors for mentally ill people severely insulting and offensive.

This is very important.

[ahsndkm-deactivated20141104]

People keep comparing the Daleks to mentally ill/autistic people (and therefore comparing mentally ill or autistic people to a genocidal imperialist fictional race) but what the fuck else would you expect from the fucking terrible godawful doctor who fandom.

[tardistrouble]

nobody was comparing normal run of the mill daleks to the mentally ill, stop making up lies to paint anyone who has critical thinking skills as evil

people were discussing the fact that there were insane daleks placed in an asylum (an asylum being a place specifically created to house the mentally ill, that connotation is still present) and then destroyed

[ahsndkm-deactivated20141104]

lmao are you literally claiming that literally no one on the entire internet has compared daleks to the mentally ill—despite the fact that several people in this thread have seen it happen?

like. is that seriously your argument right now? you haven’t seen it so it’s never happened ever? yeah fab critical thinking there.

i’m telling you i’ve seen that comparison. not once, but several times.

what you’re talking about is a completely different incident. people comparing daleks to the mentally ill or autistic long pre-dates AOTD.

stop talking.

[tardistrouble]

the incident with stfu-moffat you were all pissing yourselves over was specifically regarding Asylum of the Daleks

you stop talking

Sorry, but I’ve seen people with autism and other mental disorders get offended by the fact that Daleks in the Asylum were getting compared to mentally ill people by tumblr users.

My cousin recently spent time in a hospital because he nearly committed suicide. I don’t think he’d like the fact that other people on tumblr are comparing him to monsters on a fictional show.

[tardistrouble]

people on tumblr aren’t the ones linking daleks to mental illness, steven moffat is by putting mentally ill daleks in an ASYLUM

google “define asylum”: an institution for the care of people who are mentally ill.

do you not know what an asylum is?

he chose to not put them in a prison but in a place with connotations of mental illness

stop ignoring what i’ve written and respond to my actual points and also apologise for lying about us thinking normal, every day daleks represent the mentally ill, which was your main point and what fluffykeldora was spreading lies about to rightnowbb who also spread these same lies

moffat stans who are so thirsty that they’ll state it like it’s undeniable fact that he wrote jack harkness better in 2 episodes and rose better in gitf ('the only episode where she wasn't a catty selfish jealous clingy bitch~~') and martha jones better in 4 seconds of blink than any other writer

y'all think it's a coincidence that we went from the variation of a young working class companion and her poc working class boyfriend, a very visibly Not Straight companion, a woc companion and an older, lower middle class companion, to two young, thin, white, well-off middle class companions and also a white middle class boyfriend
