Question that might be too mean, but why are Doctor Who fans so… self pitying? It’s never “eh I don’t really like this Doctor, maybe regeneration will be better”, any posts I see are “oh woe I don’t care anymore”. It’s either really bizarre or I’m feeling particularly low on empathy. -allisbornagain
That’s….a really good question. I don’t think it’s unique to Doctor Who fans though (look at what happened to Star Wars fandom!) I think maybe it’s a combination of usual fannish entitlement (I have that too, I think most folks do…), dislike of Moffat as a person, and just general Internet exaggeration.
It can get a little annoying though, especially on GB where everything is exaggerated to heck and also requires several exclamation marks
