If someone is using tv shows as role models they are already lost.

Didn't used to be. Used to be heroes were heroic, inspiring, and aspirational. Can't have people being inspired to become better. Tell them they're already perfect and all their problems are someone else's fault.

I kind of looked up to Crichton from Farscape. He was smart, resourceful and did not let him being weaker then others stop him.

Honestly he was a great role model.

Most kids don't have dads anymore. We can't force women to make better decisions (god I wish), so we could at least let them see what real men look like to have a chance of growing up right.

After his speech gained attention on social media, Mr Fletcher released a statement on Twitter, saying his point "in no way linked Dr Who being female to crime being committed by men".

Tell me you're over 45 without telling me you're over 45. So many useless Boomercon thoughts coming from older Gen X'ers.

Feminists have spent decades linking media depictions of women to rape, domestic abuse, lack of career success and more, and this spineless jellyfish immediately rolled over and backed down on the idea that maybe if young boys had rolemodels worth emulating, they'd be less incline to grow up to be shitheels.

Cowardice!

Hit them with the their own argument and do not back down! This spineless, gutless, conservatism is so ineffectual, it's embarrassing.

Weak. Feeble.

Fuck Doctor Who. I'm sick of this modern comic and pop culture garbage trying to supplant the real heroes of antiquity. Idolizing shit heroes like Doctor Who instead of literally anyone who ever actually made a difference in the world is how you get a generation of basement-dwelling Funko Pop collectors.

Dude, they have every incarnation of the Doctor available as a Funko Pop, every last character and villain and several incarnations of the Tardis. Dalek and Cybermen Funkos. Some of them cost more than a hundred bucks.

Sorry for the Walmart link, but it's apparently the go-to place for these little abominations.

So, you not only directly link to the BBC but do so intentionally and knowingly. Got it and blocked.
