STFU Moffat: Doctor Who and Representations of Colour
submitted by sjaejones
Hey, I saw your call for submissions about Doctor Who and representations of people of colour. I am a person of colour and a pretty huge Whovian, so I thought I’d put in my two cents about it. (Note: I am more familiar with New Who than…

whoooops I’m a queer woman on the asexual spectrum
WHAT? No oh my god I vividly remember my favourite nights of sleep
I can’t remember nights when I didn’t get much sleep because I was goddamn tired

RYAN WHY WOULD YOU STEAL MY IDEA?What if I do a mini-t-Rex mini-giveaway…..??T-Rexes were born in wee little eggs, and they came out all tiny and adorable. I know, I know: paleontologists have been saying this for years, but we never believed them because they couldn’t produce tiny adorable plushies to prove it. UNTIL NOW.
Micro T-Rex is three inches of soft and fuzzy adorable, and comes with that removable plastic keychain clip you see pictured, so he’s ready to hang out wherever you go! He is Down for Hangouts!
I would type more but he’s TOO CUTE, look at his little arms, i’m DYINGGuys these just came out today and I really think you should buy one. Only $8.50! How can you put a PRICE on LOVE
This is a great idea! EVERYONE who reblogs this gets one entry, and tomorrow I will choose one reblog at random and send them one! REBLOG AWAY AND T-REX MIGHT COME LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE / HANG OFF YOUR FINGERS AND KEYS
Whoah we are now have over 400 notes on this giveaway! That’s nutty! And as a 1 in over 400 chance hardly seems THAT fair, I’m going to award ANOTHER Key Rex for every 400 notes this post gets. A reblog is your entry to win, go nuts, according to these rules I could give away HUNDREDS of adorable green dinosaurs if things get really implausibly crazy!!
I am very happy that these little guys will be going to enthusiastic Tumblr homes!

- Charlie: SADDEST THING
- Me: look at our separate ends of the internet
It’s an episode that might look feminist and progressive at first glance (~STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS~), but there are many things that really bothers me about it.
Okay, so Madge succeeds in saving the day and saving the planet and all that, but hang on a tick. She succeeds and is strong but not because of her abilities, but… because she’s a mother. It implies that a woman can only reach her full potential if she becomes a mother. (Also this sort of gender essentialism is super problematic, because being a mother or having a womb isn’t what defines a woman. There are women who can never bear children and there are men who can)
There were jokes about Madge’s bad driving (harmful stereotype, and the idea that women would be worse drivers than men is simply. not. true. If anything, statistics show that women are much safer drivers than men, and that men are the ones who are in accidents the most often)
Also! We’re told that Madge met her husband when he would FOLLOW HER EVERYDAY AND WOULDN’T STOP UNTIL SHE MARRIED HIM! Not cute! It’s stalking!
Feminist Whoniverse has written a couple of really good (and much more eloquent) posts on the episode that you can find here.

Would also like to note that ~romantic stalking~ also happened in Blink:
KATHY: Are you following me?
BEN: Yeah.
KATHY: Are you going to stop following me?
BEN: No, I don’t think so.
(and then they got married.)
It is excruciatingly clear that Doctor Who is written by someone who has never experienced being followed almost all the way home by a catcalling random in the street.
