Yeah, many of us knew Jodie Whittaker was the end when she went on about feminism in her opening at being chosen to play the Doctor. Instead of talking about how much she cared about the character and series.
I'll even be nice about that, and say that an actor doesn't need to be a fan of a role that they're going for. Doesn't always need to be like that for an actor to do a good job (though I think it certainly helps).
What is the much clearer issue is the fact that the role wasn't just about a successful and interesting character, it's that it was a vehicle, a carrier, to further her ideology first and foremost.
An actor doesn't necessarily need to be an enthusiast about what they're acting (though it certainly helps), but if they're using the roles they get as a means to an end? That shit is cancer no matter what their cause might be.
Whittaker also mentioned that previous Dr Who was the white make gaze
