"The more gays are tolerated, accepted and even celebrated, the more paranoid he becomes that it could all reverse at any moment."
No. In America, blacks have behaved the same way. The higher up the dominance ladder and success measurment they get, the more likely they are to vociferously bash the system.
It isn't paranoia. It is cause and consequence. You get to the top. Now, you consolidate your gains by doing more of what got you there and you do it harder.
The issue is that some of the "good" writers were edgy back in the 80s and 90s 40 years ago. That was an era where edginess was going against the grain of the satanic panic. That forged many young writers into staunchly anti-Christian extremists that saw edginess as some how holding its own moral virtue. That's why the sin of Pride has an entire celebratory month in the modern calendar. These people were raised with the benefit of strong cultural morays to bash themselves against, but lacked the self-awareness to understand that those taboos existed for a reason.
The damage to television like Dr. Who (09 to 15 was pretty good) is due to the fact that these edgy kids never outgrew their highschool years. Instead of seeking to understand the culture they fought against, they sought its destruction. Edginess became the dominant culture and everything else was, to them, fascism or whatever other 'ism' they felt like putting on that morning. We live in a world where perpetual children in their 50s have become the czars of acceptable culture. From that position, they have foisted onto society an anti-human and anti-social ideology where base degeneracy is considered high art. It's a bizarre inversion that stems entirely from individuals attaining institutional power after basing their entire personality around being anti-establishment. Self-reflection is not their strong-suit.
Unfortunately that quest to deconstruct everything eventually lands on the very things that they treasure. They destroy the most thoroughly those things that they treasured as children because they cannot create new culture for themselves. All they can do is deconstruct that which was created by better men. The dissident Right is creating new culture, and it's starting to become a real thorn in the side of entrenched Marxists. Keep an eye out for new properties and do what you can to enhance their coverage. We're on the verge of a new right-wing cultural renaissance. Or a catastrophic civil conflict.
I've been watching Dr. Who since 1987, when it came on KERA in Dallas/Ft Worth.
I often feared that I would never get to see the very first episodes, and still haven't, but I've come across some of the very first one's at conventions. I found the idea of a time traveler to be absolutely fascinating and the fact that he had a cheeky British accent amused me to no end. My favorite incarnations were Tom Baker and John Pertwee. When the new series launched, I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but Eccleston and Tenant won me over. It's just too bad they had to turn it into something nobody wanted to watch. I hate seeing a good show die.
“And, though the smarter among them hate to admit it, Americans feel there is something gross about a man using his brains to defeat baddies when he could just as easily use a bazooka.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I grew up with Tom Baker as the Doctor. Chicago was the first to air it in the US, on WTTW Ch. 11 on Sunday nights in the 1980s. The Doctor’s cute and sexy female assistants were certainly a draw for a high school boy, so its queerness is nothing but psychological projection. I recently downloaded classic episodes from Apple TV. Thus, it still has the same effect on me, albeit some of which is nostalgia.
Agreeing so far and keen for the next installment.
Watching Queer As Folk for the first time I thought it was ground breakingly honest. A few things stood out - the author's hetero-phobia, misogyny, and lurid celebration of underage sexuality. It was like watching the creepy sex fantasy of an old queen pining for when he was a teenager - or for the teenagers he wished he'd had. All honest things that gay men in real life made no secret of but which official portrayals in the media actively concealed.
At some point I'll be doing a study of Queer as Folk. I remember it well, from the time, but I haven't watched it in 20 years and I'm sure it would be very interesting to revisit - so many changes later.
Gays constant paranoia about their rights being evaporated is actually rather rational. The recent tolerance for them is a blip in history, and it is inevitable that it will correct itself. Also I loved your evaluation of the American audience, it's very true. My spouse loves the show and I enjoy some of it but the doctor does get under my skin as a character. His moral platitudes about guns bad but poisons an entire race or blows up a spaceship makes my Ami blood boil
Right, I wondered because you said the Doctor gets under your skin. The squeamishness about guns is actually rather ridiculous when his actions indirectly kill people all the time! LOL
But it does sound more weak, catty, dodgy a phrase than how I would imagine a man would put it. As far as the effeminate men being unnerving; to me(millennial American)very. Though I'm a questionable source.
A colleague's daughter was an ardent fan of Dr Who for years and she suddenly stopped watching it or being in the least bit interested in it and her dad asked her why she never watched it anymore. She said, "I get enough of that stuff shoved down my throat at school without having it shoved down my throat at home". The Dr had just "become" a woman and she was sick of this destruction of everything that was good.
As the tyrant tightens their grip more and more people slip through their fingers so Davies is almost certainly onto something that his freedom to ride roughshod over heterosexual people will soon be totally reversed, and not just because of Islam in the West. More and more young people are getting sick and tired of being told how evil their normal heterosexual feelings and values are.
I feel that's one of the tragedies that'll play out over the coming years. The gay people who are "innocent bystanders", as it were. Because of a handful of overly-vocal, paranoid and delusional narcissists like RTD and the rest of the Rainbow Mafia, the everyday gay person who isn't into all that stuff is going to be in for a rough time when the backlash begins to rear it's head.
I think the overwhelming majority of people aren't "homophobic" as RTD believes, as the majority of British people don't really care at all if someone is gay as long as they behave within the confines of polite society. I never cared at all before but I, like many others, grew resentful after having been lectured and berated constantly for being evil homophobes for years on end. Funny how that works.
I'm wondering if it's time for a new gay counter-culture to push back against the LGBTIQAZ hegemony... But "we just want to get on with life quietly" isn't much of a rallying slogan. Ha.
Lol true, something tells me that the fate of such a movement will end up similar to the "we just want to be left alone" boomercon group. Just because you want to be left alone doesn't mean you will be.
I wouldn't know how such a gay counterculture would be formed either, tbh. By this point I think any kind of gay media or group or what have you will just provoke hostility from either the Right who will just see it as yet more Rainbow stuff and the Left who will attack you for not being 1000% on board with the hivemind.
RTD's treatment and ultimate destruction of Doctor Who is like a microcosm of the way the wider LGBT hegemony and those calling the shots within will eventually, through heavy-handedness and a profound inability to "read the room", ruin the wider gay population, as those nasty demonised heteros turn away from and become genuinely hostile (not made-up hostile like in RTD's head) towards them.
I would say paedophilia is the natural conclusion to all of this stuff, which many of them have been secretly working towards as their end goal for years now.
Want to really rile up a Rainbow Mafia LGBTQ+ member? Ask them "What does the plus + stand for?"

That's interesting. Are you male or female, out of interest?
Female
Right, I wondered because you said the Doctor gets under your skin. The squeamishness about guns is actually rather ridiculous when his actions indirectly kill people all the time! LOL
Interesting observation, I never realized "get under your skin" is feminine. Makes sense now that you point it out though.
I didn't mean that the phrase itself is feminine. I wondered whether a foppish man is more unnerving to male or female viewers.
But it does sound more weak, catty, dodgy a phrase than how I would imagine a man would put it. As far as the effeminate men being unnerving; to me(millennial American)very. Though I'm a questionable source.

They are evil, from the perspective of an antinatalist death cult. Perceived in this light, much about contemporary elite culture becomes clear.
Davies makes me ashamed to be gay. In fact him and his ilk make me disown the term.
Many of us just want to live lives of quietude without announcing sexual matters to strangers, oddly enough.

I think the LGB group is an example of that. Interestingly, it has been attacked by Russell T Davies.
Lol true, something tells me that the fate of such a movement will end up similar to the "we just want to be left alone" boomercon group. Just because you want to be left alone doesn't mean you will be.

It's all quite sad really.
Yeah, they always eat their own. 'Trans kids' will be destroyed by something even weirder.
I would say paedophilia is the natural conclusion to all of this stuff, which many of them have been secretly working towards as their end goal for years now.
