It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

like they made the doctor a woman: cool and good, there is no reason the doctor has to be a man and it's well beyond time that they regenerated into someone non-dude
they got a good actress to play her! Jodie Whittaker is pretty good from what i've seen of her
then they made her an arch neoliberal totally-not-amazon stan??? who murders a labour activist????? and his not-involved partner????? for like no reason???????
I mean, the amazon episode was pretty dumb, but the rest of Chibnall's episodes were pretty good imo. "Partition of India" and "It takes you away" were pretty memorable episodes among many other good ones and I also really liked "Flux" and the idea of the timeless child finally brought something new to the table. Chibnall managed to overcome Moffat's unnecessary labyrinths of plots as well as his misogyny while not abandoning big ideas in general.
I would've liked to have him continue running the show, especially after the last special by Davies, which I didn't find that convincing.
didn't she like explicitly out a black character as black to the nazis for "lol, pwned" points? (for context for outsiders, this series has space magic at random as it suits the plot)
and also murder various sentient species for no reason?
Like you said, it's space magic and it was the master, who was working for the Nazis at that pont, so he probably just teleported away after getting captured. Also it wasn't just for laughs but the Doctors only out, as I remember it.
you know that's way more fucked than 90% of doctors have done before though right?
i'm not a who scholar or anything, but i have watched a fair few episodes of the "tinfoil and gaffa tape" era and i'm very sure they never did something quite so heinous as out a black character to the nazis (literal, actual, ww2 era)
still extremely fucked though
like if i was menaced by (for example) someone of Jewish heritage during the 1930-45 era of continental europe, i would not, in good conscience, out them as "untermenshcen" to the literal fucking nazis
that would make me a fucking subhuman fascist
you see the problem of the "hero" of the story doing this, right??
