Thorn Wilde Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) 49 minutes ago, BHopper2 said: They did get Snowflake Preachy by the end, and the change from Christmas to New Year's day was because of that too. The new showrunner is proving to be an SJW activist. They need to keep politics out of entertainment. Couldn't agree less. There has never been, nor will there ever be apolitical entertainment. People don't just stop having opinions when they create art. On the contrary, how you feel about something is integral to the process of telling a story, be it through writing, music, painting, or film. I haven't finished the new season yet. Have had too much on my mind. Really liked Jodie Whitaker, I think she's a fantastic Doctor, though I agree Chibnall's writing leaves something to be desired. Not cause he's political—sorry to break it to you, but Doctor Who has always been blatantly political—but because he's just not that good a show runner. With any luck, he'll get better, though. EDIT: Also, they didn't do a New Year Special because of 'snowflake preachy SJW' stuff. They did it because they were out of ideas for Christmas themed specials and wanted to do something new. Whomever told you that must have been some crazy conspiracy theorist, because there really is NO 'war on Christmas' in the UK. They don't even say Happy Holidays.

Thorn Wilde Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) 31 minutes ago, Starrynight22 said: TOTALLY AGREE. art is a reflection of life. Life isn't a vacuum Entertainment reflects values and though I don't watch that show I do know it's long been considered a show that isn't afraid to confront controversial issues. Sometimes the argument that entertainment or celebrities be apolitical remind me of people who demand religion be taught in school but then balk because they only wanted a particular kind of religion. Just because something isn't your own view doesn't necessarily make it worthless. Exactly. Telling someone to keep politics out of their art is most of the time actually telling them to keep politics I disagree with out of their art. Edited January 1, 2019 by Thorn Wilde 1

I feel almost as if it wasn't worth posting Don't let it get you down. It's New Year's day, everyone's hungover. I made the mistake of posting new stuff right around Christmas. Hard not to get a little down when no one seems to read and no one comments, but it's really just cause they're all busy.
