this change will cause certain people to either consider the show great solely because there's a woman or denounce it for the same reason.
I mean I personally dont care but this is almost the same as if they made James Bond, Jane Bond.
You think people have no reason to be mad and that if they are mad that the doctor is now a woman then they are just sexists? And it has nothing to do with the Doctor being a man ever since the shows birth in 1963? Or that this changed the main role simply to pander to "progressiveness"?
All of this. Genderbending regenerations wasn't even a thing until that SJW-panderer Moffatt became showrunner.
Despite my anger at the casting choice and my great disdain for Jodie Whittaker, I
will be giving her Doctor a fair shot. I'm a fairly new fan, only picked up in Tennant's first season (have now seen all the new series and all available episodes of the Classic series), but I love the series too much just to drop it because I hate a casting choice.
She gets 1 season to make her mark as the Doctor. If she fails, I'll skip until the next regen.
But I hope she succeeds
