who is noncelad?

>>21589
He's a lad with noncey tendencies who likes Doctor Who. We can't say any more for legal reasons.

>>21588
A lot of - what appears to be Americans - people are all pissed off on the chans and reddit that the new Dr is a woman. If only she had a cock.

It's funny because all the doctor who tumblr fans are all 'bi' and so pro lgbt but I bet they don't fancy her anything like they did David Tennant or the one with the fez.

>>21589

Not me, I guess OP was speaking in the third person.

Be right back, checking DM comments.

>>21592

Nice one, lad, you showed those 14 year old girls what for.

>>21591
>If only she had a cock.
Piers Morgan as companion?

As far as I'm concerned, my only objection would be if there was a lack of a plausible in-universe explanation (as in "oh, look, The Doctor is suddenly a woman"), but with the events of the last couple of series it's clearly been set up as a possibility. Hopefully they'll get over the "oh my, what am I supposed to do with these things?" phase fairly quickly and give her a decent chance to fill out the character.

>>21594
They'll be in their mid-20s by now.

>>21597

Oh good, so you've harboured this dream for some ten years now; healthy.

>>21599
That is some astonishingly reaching inference there m8.

>>21600
He does have a point.

>>21601
It's just a bit of schadenfreude at the irony of it, hardly a ten year old dream.

I hope her companions don't summarily become male. That would be really annoying.

>>21606
I fear it's inevitable.

Yet again the white cis media elite have shown that people of colour have no place in their ideal society.

>>21615
I can't enjoy this show because yet again the lead actor comes from somewhere north of Watford.

>>21590

You mean you'll get banned for being a mad stalker cunt? madstalkercuntlad.

>>21615

I for one will not be satisfied that there isn't some sort of Kyriarchy conspiracy at play until the doctor is a black one legged eskimo lesbian mental health user. What are those rich old white men at the BBC afraid of?

the rusted wheel

stepping through a broken wall

Does anyone happen to know the name of the flower at the beginning?
Do you think the twig snapping is significant?

I'm alarmed by how badly large portions of the population are taking this. Between the questioning of how an immortal alien can look like a woman all of a sudden, to not understanding "doctor" to be a gender neutral title, it's properly mental. Do most people get violently fingered in the arse by big burly women as a child and I just got lucky, so I'm not privy to how scary women actually are?

There's a war in Yemen, you know! Whatever...

>>21619
>Does anyone happen to know the name of the flower at the beginning?
Yes that's Greg.
It looks most like Lotus corniculatus but it's hard to get a really good look at it.

>>21620

> Do most people get violently fingered in the arse by big burly women as a child and I just got lucky

You mean you were off sick on burly school nurse bum-mangling day? Sounds like you got unlucky to me m8.

>>21620
Yeah, check out these lads (>>21615 >>21618), I think they have some issues to explore with a therapist.

There is usually smoke blown up peoples arse when the doctor changes (the only person I don't remember it happening with is Capuldi) I wonder how much of this is that, just viewed through the lens of 'because they are a woman, it must be sexism'.

I think Doctor Who is popularist swill that can't remember its own cannon for more than an episode (shouldn't this doctor be the Valeyard?) so I can't say I care that much what they do creatively.

>>21624
Well you don't need to 'wonder'. If you can't take that criticism and phrase it in the form of :

Jodie Whitaker is miscast in the role of the Doctor because...

without ending it with 'she's a woman', then it isn't that, is it?

>>21624
>There is usually smoke blown up peoples arse when the doctor changes
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, unless people are somehow giving each other faint praise for hating on the newbie at every cast change.

I don't know about this. Last I heard the ratings have been in long-term decline and most of what I'm seeing is reactions to a minority to score sassy points with a certain crowd. The whole fiasco looks like vagsploitation and even when I haven't seen the show in 10 years it is starting to get my back up.

I would've started watching again if it was Tilda Swinton or someone of a similar caliber

Rage button ticked because I foresee myself getting a ton of shit for this for no reason.

>>21591
>If only she had a cock.

My suspicion is if she pulled a big cock out of her trousers during an episode there would be even more complaints.

>>21624
>the only person I don't remember it happening with is Capuldi

I remember people becoming angry about that as well. Mostly because he was white, male and worst of all old.

>>21625

People aren't that rational or constructive in why they like or dislike things. It drives designers crazy, usually people can't constructively phrase these things and look for ways to rationalise their irrational feelings, and no it isn't just tripping over their dicks to come up with a reason why they aren't sexist, usually people just don’t like change, paticularly if they feel it is change just for the sake of change and they want to find a better reason than just that.

There is an argument for 'can the doctor be a woman?' that isn't pure sexism, they obviously changed the cannon in the last series so that the master could so the answer is: yes. But if they randomly gender/ race swapped a character in a piece of media you liked normally you might be a bit miffed, the fact that the doctor seems asexual and lacking in machismo most of the time probably helps it to be an irrelevant point.

There is also the concern that the makers become hung up on the fact that the doctor is a woman, from what I understand of the lady Thor comic book they can't help but talk about it constantly in a way that detracts from them telling a story about anything other than that Thor is now a woman and how you should get over it.

>>21628
Fuck me it's CANON, okay? Canon. As in canonical, it's not bloody cannonical.

What the fuck is a mental health user?

I honestly couldn't give shit either way. It's like when they didn't cast that black fellow as James Bond even though he'd have been perfect.

However I can see why people might not like it. I mean the only counterargument is "why shouldn't she be a woman?" to which the only counter argument is "well why should she?" It' sort of like, you've been eating your sunday roast with mash and gravy for years. Why on earth shouldn't you put curry sauce on it? There's absolutely nothing wrong with curry sauce but you can't blame someone for wanting to stick to their gravy. The point is that we've had 13 dudes, which sort of sets a precedent. Lots of people were annoyed that they even made him look younger than 40, remember?

I think the shitstorm has much to do with virtue signalling and what I can only describe as the rapidly growing "fuck off you sanctimonious twats" movement. I mean lets face it we're leaving the EU for precisely the reason that people are sick of hearing everything and the kitchen sink getting called racialist and rebelled.

>>21623

You need to learn to take a joke mate. Also it is kind of a valid point to ask why they feel the need to consciously put a female in the role, but not a black person.

>>21588
Couldn't give a fuck about the whole gender thing. WHO THE FUCK IS SHE. Never heard of her.

Also, most Whovians are already on the sex offenders register, lets be honest.

>>21635

I remember reading an article before, apparently 99% of convicted paedophiles in the state of California are star trek fans, I don't understand what the connection is, but apparently there is one.

>>21636
There's also a strong correlation between sex offenders and right-handedness, with as many as 90% of them or more being righties.

>>21637

Oddly enough, nonces are significantly more likely to be left-handed than the general population, as are schizophrenics, transsexuals and musical geniuses.

>>21639

Didn't noncelad cross dress? I vaguely remember a thread in IQ.

Who cares? It's simple sci-fi for kids. Just like how Quantum Leap is sci-fi for mawkish housewives, though a great guilty pleasure at that. Dr. Sam Beckett did this becoming a woman thing yonks ago.

>>21588
What do you call this hand gesture? I think of it as what doctors do before beginning the operation in Trauma Center.

>>21631

Someone who hasn't quite become a mental health addict yet.

>>21631

It is the state official euphemism for being mentally ill.

>>21643
It's the 'magical puppet-master' hand gesture.

>>21645
"service user"

Apparently mentally ill people don't like being called mentally ill. I literally hate myself for typing this - it is this kind of political correctness around words that stops us having grown-up conversations about mental health. Describing yourself (or others) as mentally ill should be equivalent to saying I've got a cold, or the flu, or I sprained my ankle.

>>21648
But it isn't, though, is it? Isn't that why we have political correctness - because we don't live in a state of perfect equality and devoid of prejudice?

>>21648
Mental illness fundamentally affects how you interact with people though, I don't think it ever can be thought of in the same way. It's a part of your personality, to some degree inextricable.

>>21648
>mentally ill should be equivalent to saying I've got a cold, or the flu, or I sprained my ankle.

Not really, mental health has a stigma for a good reason because it can mean that you are a danger to yourself and to society at large. Obviously not all mental illnesses are the same but there is a reason we associate manics with violence, schizophrenics will paranoid destructive behavior, depressives with wallowing and self destruction, and autists with actually caring about doctor who canon.

I'm saying this as a person who has friends and family crippled by all of the above. In all seriousness I've had to deal with manics and depressives who have used being open about their problems as a way to absolve themselves of guilt for their shitty behavior and lack of self control, and people think they are helping by being 'understanding' and shifting the burned of their behavior on to everyone in their path, but this is tacit to abuse. Your cause is more short sighted than you think.

I agree an openness about depression for the introverted is a positive as it is for anxiety, and any learning disorder where people need to admit they fall short would be a benefit and there are plenty of milder cases where it would be relevant, but you can't treat all mental illnesses as being helped by people being accepting and open, and like it would always be of benefit to the problem, sometimes the best thing is for people to feel they should solider on and strive for a life of managing normality without drawing attention to themselves and people moving the bar to excusing their failures.

Why is the main discussion in a Dr Who thread about mental health?

>>21654
Too easy.
