Doctor Who’s New Writer Sparks Outrage: Accusations of Homophobia and Misogyny!

by

The acclaimed sci-fi series Doctor Who finds itself at the center of distress among its dedicated fanbase due to recent developments. A notable figure in the show’s history, Russell T. Davies, has invited a writer with a contentious past, Juno Dawson, to join the team. This individual has authored several books that have stirred up quite a commotion.

Juno, a renowned author, has seen their works grace the top of the Sunday Times best-seller list. They’ve penned titles such as “This Book is Gay” and “Her Royal Coven,” but some schools have pulled these books from their shelves due to content that others deem inappropriate for young readers. This controversy has sparked questions about whether they would be an appropriate choice for a show typically enjoyed by families.

During Davies’ leadership, it’s worth pointing out that the company responsible for Doctor Who, Disney, has consistently been open to depicting same-sex relationships and drag queen characters on screen.

Juno considers this a long-awaited realization as they’ve been an admirer since their teenage years. However, certain statements made by them regarding transgender issues in the past have sparked controversy, causing some to question if their perspectives align with the show’s values, and raising concerns among fans that the new season might delve into content deemed inappropriate for families due to Juno’s portrayal of youth in their literature.

Upon the revelation of this new writer, social media buzzed with a significant response. Many enthusiasts expressed their disapproval, voicing concerns about how this decision might alter the series in directions they find undesirable. Some are deeply disappointed, believing that the show’s quality is deteriorating.

Juno Dawson unveiled as a writer on Doctor Who

A person who considers women as objects for sexual gratification and views gay men as a consolation prize, since they can’t be women themselves. (Alternatively, A man who degrades women to mere sex objects and regards gay men as an alternative option because he cannot be a woman himself.)

Misogyny and homophobia are very in vogue at the BBC at the moment 🙄

Despite his controversial views on LGBTQ+ issues and women, which include homophobia, misogyny, and allegations of sabotaging women’s careers if they disagree with him regarding his gender identity, Juno remains surprisingly popular on Radio 4 arts and magazine programs. This post is not typically about individuals, but I feel compelled to bring attention to the case of Juno.

James “Juno” Dawson is an anti-woman, anti-parent incel in dress. Disgusting

Future generations may recall Juno Dawson as the decisive factor leading to the show’s termination, even if other factors had come before. This situation can be considered a Pyrrhic victory, where though a goal might have been achieved, the cost was so great that it was not truly a victory at all.

This might not seem important – it’s just a silly (overrated) TV show past it’s best…

However, it’s important to note that Juno Dawson has made some remarks perceived as discriminatory towards homosexual individuals, and has contributed significantly to the harmful discourse surrounding gender discussions.

If he was on the gender critical side – no way would he have this job.

Given Disney’s takeover of Doctor Who, fans are understandably concerned about the series’ future due to the recent uproar over Juno’s hiring. Will the show continue its decline with this new direction? Is it possible they should concede that Doctor Who might have reached its end?
