Drinker's Chasers - Doctor Who: This Show Hates You

there was there was something I was curious about right because I have divorced myself from Doctor Who at this point I just cannot take it anymore I'm smart move reliably convinced that it's hazardous to my actual physical health um but it is out now the the 14th doctor is now into his first proper series uh it's past the Christmas specials and we we've been treated to some Delights of characters like I saw this clip of maestro who are you my notation is and I just [ __ ] character this is one of the worst characters I've seen on anything ever it was Inseparable it is viscerally disgusting listening to this thing PR and dancer on screen the actor was just one of the worst [ __ ] actors I've ever seen I I was shocked at how bad this was I was shocked well I was curious about what this thing is and um how it factors into the story and I guess maybe you guys can help me out like what is going on here it's the toy Maker's son first I want to thank you Drinker I had managed to to avoid watching any clip from this new Doctor Who because of how like horrible it looked now thank you for subjecting me to it for the first time this is I won't make you watch the rest of the clip partly because the BC will demonetize me but also because I don't want to see it I just thought here just what are they doing so it's not so they've sheld the master the master is gone uh and uh they're going to replace it with the Maestro uh not to be which is weird because there's the music Meister Ryan you know the music Meister uh in Batman uh who was voiced by Neil Patrick Harris uh now they have the Maestro who is the son of Neil Patrick Harris uh who clearly a dude and um it's it's it's supposed to be a replacement for the master it's also uh he's a god he's Godlike which would have been a great thing for Doctor Who to kind of really get into because it hadn't for a long time uh in better days but now it's just used this thing is clearly activist Russell T Davies he's trying to get out everything he couldn't get out before he uh also he's just a changed man right so uh but this yeah this villain it it controls music so it feeds on all the unsung songs which is kind of like the we Angels feeding off of potential energy you know so it it does something similar and it remove removes all the music from the world and it can like tie you up in musical notes and stuff it's really gay yeah it sounds [ __ ] the most disturbing [ __ ] rarded like the most disturbing [ __ ] about like the this clip here with the introduction is when the the guy says get away from him and he corrects it and says no them I'm a them like correcting the pronouns and then the little kids saying uh they're my daddy or whatever the [ __ ] it's just disturbing and weird is gross to be honest you're trying to shake this reputation Disney yeah you oh wait maybe they're not uh maybe they're not aware of the reputation they have earned and this does not help in any usually oh sorry g i I was gonna say like because you you mentioned Russell T D as being a different person now and like I guess there there's three possibilities with all of this one he has been pressured by the BBC to include stuff like this um two you know this uh he's changed over the years U and he's now a different person and this stuff just means a lot more to him now than it used to or three this is just who he always was and he was perhaps under a certain degree of control and restraint before and now it's just he's been fully Unleashed uh as a as a creative because I was reading an interview with him um just before doing this open bar and it it was along the lines of and I'm paraphrasing slightly here but it and I quote it more or less for btim though um Doctor Who's queerness is now front and center and I'm not going to apologize for that that was essentially his take on this well he's right yeah I mean well when I see characters like this it seems pretty irrefutable but um yeah he he talks a lot about how he did uh it's a sin and how he did queer his folk and he's very proud of those shows and now he's bringing that same energy to Doctor Who because he couldn't do it before uh and I thought that's such a strange attitude to have because it's no longer like the 199s when like the idea of having gay characters or trans characters on screen is some revolutionary piece of creative Rebellion uh it's everywhere now it's it's common place and so you're not really uh you're not really reshaping anything and you're not really taking some like bold stand you're doing the same thing that everyone does so I don't really know what kind of weird Time Warp he's stuck in there um and also just his uh his whole attitude to this seems to be like that that one aspect of having gay representation on screen means a lot to him and you know he's a gay man himself and I guess he's lived through a lot of stuff where in previous decades he couldn't be honest about who he was or he couldn't come out with it and stuff um and that comes out in his work now but it's not necessarily what you need to work into a Sci-Fi show that just there to entertain General audiences like it can be a thing that you you address and that's why you did shows like it's a sin and queer is folk great um but you don't have to necessarily work it into everything because it's not going to function prop and everything and especially a show that is supposed to be kid friendly all right family friendly familyes sit down together and watch this and they really can't like this is it's it's disgusting this this particular character there's a lot of TR stuff there's the pronouns uh there's some really nasty ad hominum abortion straw man in episode two and like Pro abortion stuff and it's really thank you for catching that it was nasty nasty yeah really nasty sorry go ahead trinker uh well it's just I wanted to draw your attention just to a quote here and this is from Jinx Monsoon the actor who plays this character uh they were getting they were getting interviewed about um the backlash that doctor who might receive for doing storylines like this having characters like this and they said um who gives a [ __ ] what bigots think a more optimistic and idealistic way of looking it is that popular opinion is not their on their side they're a very loud group and they're growing louder as they grow smaller with every way they lash out in this way uh the conservative right has decided to take an allout war against trans people career people and people of color and claim that's not what they're doing but that's clearly what they're doing numbers are not shrinking I your viewing figures say otherwise but exactly I was gonna say that um here's here's the interesting thing though for every transphobic racist bigot Doctor Who fan that we lose this season there are going to be three to five new fans who are coming in for the representation so to those fans who are not fans I say don't let the door hit you on the way out now this is the most fascinating thing because I think if you ask me to provide you with a quote um that that just epitomizes someone who is out of touch with the average person I'd probably give you that because I can't think of a better one this is what happens when you live in a a modern Metropolitan uh privileged Co chamber where everyone agrees with you about everything and you never venture outside it this is what you think the world is and this is what you think average people are crying out for Al feels like they've just they've gotten past the notion that it has anything to do with the story anymore like it's not even about bringing in people with the story it's just about it seems to not be you know and it's almost like I don't know maybe they know the writing's on the wall maybe know this this Show's not going to be around for too much longer because the viewing figures are in the toilet and the best way I I described it on Twitter was this what they're producing now seems to have been created and conceived out of pure Spite and hatred yes yeah we know you don't like what we're doing and we [ __ ] despise you for it and we're going to cram it down your throat we're going to give we're going to dial everything up to 11 all the stuff that you hate we're going to dial it up to 11 and absolutely saturate you with it before we go out because we hate you that much that's what it seems to be no no no not seems that they've admitted it so Rafe Judkins the showrunner for The Wheel of Time adaptation in response to the backlash for what he was doing he he there's a quote of him saying yes I'm Absolut I'm paraphrasing I'm absolutely going to be injecting my feminist agender Into The Wheel of Time adaptation so in response to people upset with what he was doing he said it's easy to deal with them what you do in response make their favorite characters gay yeah so that was him explicitly saying that he is going to bastardize the source material of a of a brilliant author's work his legacy an author that has now passed on and and is deceased right and he is willing to bastardize that work out of pure spite to own the chuds just to own the chuds rafe Judkins right there and so they have admitted that's what they're doing you we we didn't need sorry go ahead I was just going to say the Netflix Witch The Witcher shoe Runners for the netfli for Netflix showe did the same thing especially with blood origin they just said [ __ ] the fans [ __ ] the backlash here's blood origin this is everything we want The Witcher to be and it was one of the worst things I've seen yeah yeah like we didn't need that quote to know that that freak we had on screen for way too Long's [ __ ] mentally ill like we didn't need that quote but the fact that you think that five times more people are going to tune into something because you put a trans person in especially a trans person who's so flamboyant as this is [ __ ] insane and uh the numbers certainly don't back it up we've seen them continuing to lose a bunch of people you look at the backlash you look at dislikes you look at ratios you look at all this stuff the idea that the amount of people who are craving trans representation outweighs the amount of people who would rather just focus on story that's insane I have a I have a quick question to here so so Ron you saw episode three right I haven't seen episode three no who's seen episode three which one's that the one with that weird creature with the orange her seeview I've seen all the clips of her in I've seen it seen it you've seen it ntic like because I was looking at that performance of Maestro and not only am I watching an apoling actor like Ryan might be right like this person could be mentally ill like that is how bad the performance is it's the guy can't get through without screaming and shouting and being flamboyant and and massively over overacting everything it's just an abysmal performance it's like I can I know you can't the the BBC is very sovietized and you can't speak your mind but can imagine some of like the assistant director watching this guy while they were filming just thinking [ __ ] me this is a train wreck I mean how did no one say to the producer this guy can't [ __ ] act get him out of here embarrassing Russell T Davies went out of his way to cast this freak like that's what it was like Russell TVs went to it they knew each other but they went to a show or something which this thing was performing as a drag queen and um like I think they started off as a drag queen now they're trans I think that's what's going on so obviously they are mentally ill but um Russell T Davies went out of the way to cast this I think you'd be perfect for mro this uh this idea I have for Doctor Who so it was very very intentional yeah he has cart blanch because what happened was be careful what you wish for after the jod era and the chibal era a lot of fans were like man that Russell T Davies era was great which it was so uh he cashed that in he cashed it in came to Bad Wolf and said uh because do RW was going to get canceled and uh let's do this last ditch effort to try to bring it to we need to sign to sign a streaming partner uh there was a a partnership with Sony I don't know if that's still around but he got complete control so the BBC doesn't have narrative control over Doctor Who it is it is Russell T Davies it is all him and Disney put in a pile of money so they can now use no they now have some creative control they denied that but that's not true because Russell T Davies later said that they have some creative control um and the BB this really the BBC is in Partnership but they're not in control of this ship and what they did was drain every ounce of masculinity that was left it's completely gone and it's it's it's here completely for the message for the platform of Doctor Who to push Russell T Davy's uh idealistic uh militant uh bitter politics uh which I mean what I don't I don't even care how he got there this isn't the Russell T Davies from from 20 years ago
