Remember to avoid personal attacks, folks, even if they're pretty low-key ones.
Since I'm apparently the resident expert on Batman Beyond, I'll just say that I liked Terry McGinnis as a Batman replacement because I thought he captured the spirit (and themes) of the original Batman while still maintaining his own distinct identity. However, I'm not going to get involved in the debate about Ironheart and the female Thor because I don't think this is the thread for such a discussion and frankly, I don't find that debate particularly interesting. Perhaps we should all get back to the subject of Doctor Who.

Female Wolverine (although X-23 had been around for some time prior) X-23 isn't female Wolverine though. Sure, she donned his costume for a while but for the most part she has been her own person who happened to have the same powers as Logan due to her being a clone of him. Here's female Iron Man, who isn't just female, but also black with a huge afro (how's that ever gonna fit on that helmet?) and a teenager... The Title of X-23's current series is "All New Wolverine" and her current costume is a combination of the old Yellow and Blue and her costume from X-Force and her ongoing series I bring this up because she's one of the few characters whose books I actively read To be fair, the most established one between Riri X-23 and Lady Thor is Jane Foster

I can see that position. I think what really put me off was the glare though, like she seemed actively enraged that this teacher was not racially or sexually discriminating against her. She craves challenge but it came off in a rather twisted way to me. Yeah, Riri was actively trying to bait the teacher to discriminate against her in that scene and annoyed that she wasn't falling for it. Really reminded me of when Lisa Simpson tried to join the football team;

What a great way to say nothing and pretend you said something. Isn't this a prerequisite of being a BSNer?

Did that dude just like...not scroll of down to the comment section of the announcement video? I mean not that I blame him for that. Those comments are cancerous. But I do blame him for writing a shitty article that can be so readily disproven.

The fuck are you talking about? I just clicked your link, read the comment section, didn't see any comment displaying outrage. Sometimes I really think you leftists live in an alternate universe connect to ours, or something.

Who takes youtube comments seriously? For that matter, I only see a few complaining aboutthe new doctor. There's more complaints about the writing quality of the last season!

Top Youtube comment on Dr. Who vid:
Diversity to-do list
✔ A gay companion ✔ A female doctor ❎ An attack helicopter villain
Better respect those Helicopters....they will frack things up. XD

But not taking pathetic lunatics whining about Doctor Who being a woman seriously isn't the same as pretending they don't exist.
The outrage is there. It's even here in this thread. It's silly to deny it.

I read that article Iakus posted, and it looked to me like the writer was merely saying that the level of outrage had been exaggerated, not that the outrage didn't exist at all.

The fuck are you talking about? I just clicked your link, read the comment section, didn't see any comment displaying outrage. Sometimes I really think you leftists live in an alternate universe connect to ours, or something. Not sure if blind or has a different Youtube algorithm. First two pages alone: Well, lets see, shall we? I already saw that comment. That's just a funny comment, clearly not made by someone who is outraged. Saw this one too. Not seeing any outrage here either, just someone stating his opinion in a calm and respectable manner. Saw it. Not outrage, just a statement. Saw it. Perhaps this guy was outraged, but not at the doctor being female, but about how Doctor Who is becoming a liberal shit show (imo he's rather late to the party, Doctor Who has been "progressive" since 2005). But, I will be generous, and give you this one. So, 1 outraged comment so far, lets continue. Saw it. Not outrage, just someone calmly stating the facts and his opinions. Saw it. Not outrage, just someone stating he's gonna stop watching his favorite TV show, which (s)he has every right to do. Saw it. not outrage, just someone asking a question. A girl actually. In fact, that brings me to another point. Most people who seem to dislike the idea of a female Doctor are other women. But I guess they all just have internalized misogyny, amirite? Saw it. Not outrage, just someone sharing his opinions and ideas. Saw it. Not outrage, just someone who saw the like-to-dislike ratio on the video and made a comment about it. Saw it. Not outrage. Okay, I guess this person is showing a little outrage. So I'll give you this one. 2 comments displaying mild outrage so far. Okay, 3. Not outrage, just someone making a joke. Not outrage either. Not outrage, just someone stating the facts. Not outrage, just a trolly joke/remark. Not outrage, he's just sad. Not outrage. Not outrage. So, you managed to find 3 comments that are sort of mildly outrageous. You had to go through a rather big pile of comments to find these 3 outrages comments, and even they are rather mild. Honestly, I'm surprised about how well-behaved and calm the comment section is. Maybe it's because it's moderated by someone at the BCC, maybe all the actual outrageous comments are being deleted - or - maybe, JUST MAYBE, people don't actually care all that much about the Doctor being female?

Behind every troll is a desperate cry of disapproval about how things currently are. And if both take the form of mindless screeching about PC and Doctor Who being ruined, the difference doesn't much matter, does it?

That's exactly what it says. A few knuckleheads say something stupid and it gets blown out of proportion by OUTRAGE!!!!! Which some trolls feed on and poke at for lulz, creating more OUTRAGE!!!! And so on.

All in all, either the show will fall or succeed based on story mostly. You could totally diverse the cast like they did with that spiderman home coming thing and still get people that say, "There's not enough X. Y or Z!"
Honestly, I could care a less who the doctor is. If the story sucks I just wont watch it.

Someone clearly doesn't understand trolling. Trolling is a form of art. It actually takes patience, self-restraint and the ability to play 4D chess to be a masterful troll. Disclaimer: I'm not a master troll, I'm just your friendly neighbor shitposter.
