New Doctor Who features queer, black protagonist, men in skirts, and monster-slaying twerk

Lauren Chen lost interest in the "Doctor Who" franchise some time ago as the productions have been saturated in woke propaganda.

“At this point, any discussion of ‘Doctor Who’ that happens on this channel ... [is] 100% from the standpoint of ‘let us sit back and enjoy the dumpster fire that is happening in front of us,”’ she says.

That said, she dives into the latest iteration, featuring Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. Gatwa is celebrated as “the first Black and first openly queer man to take on the role,” according to an Entertainment Weekly article.

“It's crazy because for four years, now, the reviews and the ratings for ‘Doctor Who’ have been falling and falling,” and yet, “for the first time ever, the BBC is partnering with Disney+ to launch the show worldwide. And when the new season premieres May 10, it will air simultaneously around the globe,” says Lauren, citing the article.

If that wasn’t enough to turn you off, “the creative team behind ‘Doctor Who’ are just total ideologues,” says Lauren.

According to screenwriter and producer Russell T. Davies, “[He] searched the galaxy, auditioning men, women, and nonbinary actors from all sorts of diverse backgrounds” to find the perfect actor.

Gatwa, who’s expressed his affinity for wearing skirts, may just get to continue donning his favorite clothing item during filming.

“It seems like they are going to make skirt-wearing part of this new Doctor's identity,” says Lauren.

According to the article, “[Gatwa] quickly befriended costume designer Pam Downe, and together they dreamed up an entire TARDIS closet for the Doctor.”

“She laid out her sketches on the table, and I saw kilts and skirts and all kinds of gender-pushing, societal-pushing outfits, and I was like, ‘Yes, let’s do all of them,”’ he said in the interview.

But skirts aren’t enough for the actor.

He also said: “I need a big dance number! That’s what I’m going to put into the universe: I need the Doctor to have a big, fierce dance routine that, like, destroys a monster with twerking. Or maybe some death drops, and that’s what will drop the monster.”
