SO! If you're a Whovian like me (or even if you're not - because the internet is going crazy), you know about the 13th Doctor. Jodie Whitaker of the Broadchurch series on the BBC has just been announced as the next actor to portray the title character of the tv juggernaut Doctor Who.
There has been a lot of discussion (some of which very civilly, others not so much) about this casting choice. That being because the Doctor has always been played by (therefore having the physical body of) a white man.
Beginning with William Hartnell in 1963 all the way to Peter Capaldi who first took up the role in 2014, the Doctor has regenerated 13 times, the 14th to occur during this year's Christmas Special. This is the first time the Doctor will regenerate into a female body, however.
What I want to know is, what are your thoughts on the matter? And please, let's be civil. If I wanted to start a $hitstorm, I'd ask a Dalek.

Doctor Who: The 13th (technically 15th) Doctor

Personally, I think the whole thing has been artificially inflated into a so-called "outrage" by the media and BBC because it's all good publicity. All the press need to do is search for two or three negative tweets, and bingo, you've got an outrage.
I just hope she gets some better material to work with. Peter Capaldi was good, but the last series was embarrassingly poor.

I don't know Whittaker's work well enough to know if she's a good choice, but having the Doctor become a woman isn't a problem. As I keep pointing out in these threads, The Master, who is also a Time Lord, regenerated into a woman (Missy) a few seasons ago. The fact is, Doctor Who fans have been putting forward women's names for the role at least as far back as the casting of Eleven (Matt Smith), with Tilda Swinton and Whittaker's Broadchurch co-star Olivia Coleman having been championed by fans in the past.
So, as far as I am concerned, most of the roar has been from the usual "we have to save white, hetero, cis-male privilege or Western civilization is doomed" crowd. The same guys who whine about the lack of a white male hero in the new Star Wars trilogy and that sort of thing. These aren't true fans, just sexist, racist assholes with axes to grind. Most of the serious Doctor Who fans I know online are cheering the decision.

Actually, most of them aren't sexist racist anything. They're just trolls, who delight in stirring things up. If we just ignored them, they'd soon go away.

Honestly? I don't buy the whole "I just do it to troll people" argument. Anyone who freely tosses around that kind of speech is being racist and sexist. If someone started spewing sexist, racist garbage on the board I admin, they'd be shown the door unceremoniously, even if they yelled "I was only trolling" all the way out.

I am. she def. has the chops. I think she'll be amazing in the role.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Let's suppose time lords are able to body swap with other time lords, an event they call regeneration. William Hartnell's time lord was a grandfather travelling with his granddaughter but little or nothing has been heard of her since the 1960s. Jodie Whittaker can't be a grandfather. I rest my theory.
