you click on the wrong video and end up not on an analysis of the queer history of doctor who, but on someone going on a rant about how doctor who has never been queer and to shove it in now while pretending it always has been is "gaslighting" and "narcissistic" and it's not homophobic to not want doctor who, the show, to be overtly gay, because none of its fans want that
and this is why - quite apart from anything else - we take the terms gaslighting an narcissist and put it on a shelf and then go wash off the grime of that corner of youtube
but also this is why it's being so overt -- it's not to convince queer fans and just... chill fans... who already saw the queer subtext (and uh... text) -- it's to hammer it home to people who will be turned away by it, and also I guess, simply to say, "we're overt now, that's the kind of show we are"
it's not deep but for the part where anything queer text is always pulled apart, and so might as well not beat around the bush. just fuckn. is the doctor gay now? sure. to anyone who didn't already know

a fair number of people are adding to my post "but only trans people should play trans characters" and like. I still disagree, because we run into the same problem, and we HAVE run into that problem e.g. people getting on John Cameron Mitchell's case for starring in Hedwig (which he wrote and directed??) forcing him to come out as non-binary in an interview.
unless there is something inherently physical to a role (race) for which an imitation has been historically fraught and meant to demean (blackface, yellowface) a character expressing gender fluidity / breaking gender norms and an actor exploring that from a place of respect is fine.
there is a conversation to be had about equity in hiring practices across the board for actors from minority backgrounds...but I guarantee it predates this entire discourse by decades and all of hollywood needs to change.

Seeing Elliot Page’s character wear a suit in s1 of the umbrella academy is such a fucking power move. Like holly hell he’s hot in a suit
He's not just hot in a suit; he's just hot
