Another area of humanity that’s really letting down the side is all the hate culture on YouTube. You name a nerd culture show or franchise and YouTube has got hundreds of channels with videos to help you realize how horrible they are. Why they now suck and who ruined them and how. Let’s take an example.
Doctor Who. I feel I can speak intelligently on this subject.
There are plenty of videos where you can get all the details about how RUINED Doctor Who forever more. How it’s been eviscerated and utterly destroyed. How Satan has taken a squat on it. Anyway…
Now, I’ve shown my immense displeasure at what Chris Chibnall has done to the show since he came in in 2018. His stewardship of the show and his writing of it have been pretty bad. It has diminished the show and the ratings have been falling steadily for two straight seasons, even though season 12 was *slightly* better than 11.
*The YouTube HATE brigade will inform you in no uncertain terms that the show is now whimpering at the mercy of “feminazis” and “SJW’s” and that Doctor Who is utterly RUINED! FAIL!!! Etc. and they will go on and on about agendas and how dare they make the Doctor a woman, blah blah blah.
That’s unfortunate because there is a ton of raw hate out there and YouTube gives us all of it.
Now, IS there an agenda to these Doctor Who eps? Yes. There’s almost always been agenda to some extent with most shows because all writers usually like and want to send a message in their work of some sort. The problem comes when the writer in question is such a hack that it becomes blisteringly obvious what the agenda is and the viewer feels like they’re getting bludgeoned over the head with said message. This, unfortunately, is the kind of writer Chibnall is.
Classic Doctor Who quite often had messages and agendas, but they were woven neatly cell into stories with heart, action, drama and humor.
So make no mistake, it’s not women or SJW’s that are hurting Doctor Who, it’s just Chris Chibnall.
The nice thing is that no matter how bad Chibnall or his ideas are, he can’t “ruin” Doctor Who. He can give us a pretty bad era– currently approaching the worst era ever at this rate– but it’s one era. We’ve had a bad era before. When he leaves and a new showrunner comes in, it’s a new beginning.
But DW is just one example. Star Wars, the MCU, Batman, the DCCU, you name it, you get the same anger spewing forth. DESTROYED!!! RUINED!!! Lots and lots of anger in the fan community. REALLY a lot of anger toward women in general. It really speaks poorly of any group but the nerds get very vocal.
Star Wars is another one. It doesn’t help that the sequel trilogy was such an unoriginal, uncoordinated rehash, but when Rian Johnson wanted to think outside the box for a second with The Last Jedi and try something new, the closed minded SW fans blew a gasket. And the hate poured in. Hate, hate, hate.
It’s unfortunate but then again, there’s a lot of that going on in real life in 2020 too.
Aside from the advice “be nice”, I got nothing.
