Well I don´t agree with you on the feminazis though I can understand your problem with the new wave of feminism. I have had that debate with my son many times but he has similar ideas about it as you. But I also see where my daughter is coming from when she is discovering all kinds of shit regarding gender equality. (She is 11 years old) and she gets stunned when she´s told that women once coudn´t vote and still have lower income and blaaa. I think young women today just get very pissed and frustrated when they hit genderwalls in any ways. They just don´t except it any more as the woman rights movement started hundred years ago so the young feminists today are really, really angry. And the young men become afraid of them or even hatefull towards them as well as insecure about their own gender. But regarding dr. Who....In some ways it reminds me of Dallas when everything you wached turned ot to be Bobbys (or Pamelas) dream. Maybe it´s about not sticking to the original story or something. But I also think that they´r just playing with the imagination as well as trying to be just to everyone. And why not do a twist on comic characters. That´s just postmodernism reaching to the fullest in the comic wold / the movies. It´s harder and harder to make something new. Easy´er to take a twist on something old. And changing a man into a women or a white person into a black, why not? You know some african Americans are also ginger heads ;) And for that matter some people are born intersex so you can be both a woman and a man :o I would actually love to see a lesbian James Bond with another women on her arm. That would be rather cool ;) Hahahha :D
I think they should have gone all out and made a gay Jewish ginger black girl or something, that would have offended absolutely everyone and been side achingly funny to watch the screaming tantrums.
Hahahaaaaahaa...wait....haaaahaahaha!!! Oh my God that was the best sentence I've read all day! Side achingly funny indeed!! Screaming tantrums that are soothed with coloring books and hot chocolate no doubt ( I still can't get over that shit, the college 'time outs' young men and women weeping like toddlers, give me a break, that was so damn embarrassing!)
I think this was intended as a reply to @ryivhnn's comment instead? :D haha!
Oh jeeze, I told you I was tired, hahaha, yes it was meant for @ryivhnn :)
I notified her all the same :)
Oi I soothe myself with...erm...well okay I pretend to be grown up by drinking coffee and colouring my own drawings but similar enough principle XD Erm, the stuff in your parentheses, I think I missed something?
Glad to be entertaining ;D
I was a overtired and going on a bit of a tangent, haha, I was actually referring to what happened after the last US election. Maybe you didn't read about that, but it was ridiculous! They cancelled classes the day after election at a whole bunch of colleges so kids could mourn and sit in rooms coloring and yes drinking hot chocolate and talk to trauma counselors---Really?? With the true horrors that go on in the world? That's why it was embarrassing. Then again, the elections themselves are ridiculous so what do I expect? Well, not for masses of older teen/younger twenty year olds to behave like babies, I guess I expect that haha!
Ahh no I didn't hear about that o_O I...don't even know what to think about really.
That's the beauty of it. We don't all have to agree on everything, we just have to respect each other's opinion :D
It's good that you're daughter is developing a strong stance at a young age. Good for her! I feel like I wasn't able to illustrate my dislike of feminazis very well, mainly because I didn't want to name names or point out exact topics. That's a fair point you stated, though in that discussion, I was really trying to support them but they misunderstood where I'm coming from and I became a target of their barrage. Not something you would want to do to someone in your corner, I think.
I agree that it's hard to make something new, but with drastic changes, they run the risk of alienating the established fanbase. Why would they need to change someone's race if they could easily just create a new character that could easily be put in an apprentice position until he/she is fully equipped to take on the mantle of the predecessor? Wouldn't it be cooler if it's instead James' lesbian cousin Janice who takes up his position when James' leg becomes amputated? I think given time, if Janice is established slowly, fans wouldn't have any problems with her becoming the main character as James takes a bow.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it and I enjoyed the discussion. Lots of stuff to think about for sure :D
Hahahaha :) Thea Janice and the amputated leg of James is a grate idea :D Now I really want to see that movie :D
See! Much more intriguing than inexplicably changing James Bond into a woman, yeah? Really though, I'm all about the logical explanation. With the Doctor, they could easily explain it through regeneration, but for other characters? Well, that's the tricky part haha!
Oops, I was informed that I put my reply on the wrong comment, this was meant for ryivhnn as she's the one who said that. Sorry! I was a bit overtired when I wrote that!
