Well to be fair there is a lot of white mediocrity in the BBC atm, and I'm sure there are black writers out there who could do a better job. Wait...let's not give him the benefit of the doubt and pretend like this is the point he's making, because it isn't. He's just being a racist, spiteful little man. Who thinks the Doctor should be f*cking TWERKING for f*ck's sake. I hope it fails and these clowns never work again. I hope Ncuti Gatwa grows old during a lacklustre career following his stint as the Doctor Who that everyone regards as the worst in history, thinking on his death bed "what went wrong?" I got really wound up here, obviously I don't wish a miserable life on Ncuti Gatwa lol. But these people make it so easy to hate them. |

I don't wish him a miserable life either, but this "he seems like a nice guy" stuff becomes less and less convincing every time he opens his mouth.

That interview is a classic example of someone assuming that if you're not 'this', then you must be 'that'. Typical reductionist. People's positions, opinions and feelings don't fall on a spectrum. There's only two polar positions and nothing in between or even around it.
That's how they think. It's moronic. It's so common nowadays, it's actually quite depressing.

Yeah, sounds like another entitled c**t to me. Like Lenny Henry, somehow been oppressed despite being handed on a plate more opportunities than the rest of us will ever get.

Hey, Ncuti, your BOSS is a mediocre white guy. Anyone ever tell you that?

Mediocre is flattering in that instance.

So many great points. The woman is bang on when she says that taking Ncuti's advice and not watching the show will only result in you being blamed for not watching it.
Nice to see people are actually seeing Ncuti for what he really is - an entitled narcissist.

Then why are you already looking to assign blame for your failure, Fruity?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Ncuti as I think he has some issues. Whether it comes from growing up in a macho, horrible part of Scotland or the insane woke cult he's found himself in (probably the latter to be honest.) Going on about how he had to have therapy for internalized homophobia, it sounds like he feels he's not a proper gay unless he does this crap.
There's an episode of Two Doors Down actually where we see the son who is gay meet up with an old friend, and his friend is the RTD stereotype of going to gay clubs, and he pressures both the son and his new boyfriend who is a shy, geeky guy into going with him to a club, (with Cathy the horrible neighbour also making out the son and his boyfriend are boring gays) until the dad has a heart to heart with the new boyfriend telling him to just be himself and that he doesn't need to do this in order to be seen as a real gay.
I can't help but feel a lot of gay people in RTD's vicinity could have benefited from being told that.
I certainly don't think Ncuti and RTD by making the Doctor into such a gay stereotype are going to help his issues with that as all they are doing is making it a bigger part of his identity than it needs to be. Again no one is saying he needs to hide it. Be a flirty gay guy if you want, but when it gets to the point where it is all he ever talks about, where as an actor even when he plays a role like the Doctor it has to be rewritten to be that, then I think it becomes an obligation you have to fulfill rather than just who you are.
Meanwhile back in 2001 over twenty years ago, we had this absolutely gorgeous, beautiful (and a little bit dirty) ballad between two lesbian women that didn't lead to any serious backlash is still fondly remembered.
How wonderful is Amber Benson's singing voice?
Granted this is marred by the fact that they kill her LOL. I remember a lesbian girl I knew online years ago, joked that at a convention the episode with Tara's death was shown alongside the last episode of Xena and she had never seen so many crying lesbians in her life LMFAO.
Still overall you get my meaning. Having LGBT characters who are just normal characters is obviously fine. Hell depending on the show having a flirty, sexy gay character is no problem at all. However completely changing every character to be that and worse making out that if a gay actor is cast as a neutral, sexless character like the Doctor he will have to play it as the most flaming stereotype is dreadful rep for gay people that I seriously doubt will be looked back on in 20 years with fondness by anyone. Hell Ncuti himself will probably be telling it to his therapist.
