I’m really not here for bashing on anyone for being a fan of Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock or – gasp! – even all three. It’s grating to see people having to loudly declare how embarrassed they are of their “superwholock past”, or making disparaging remarks about those who still enjoy said shows. I’m sure there’s a longer and more in-depth post to be written about this, but idk man, I’m tired. I’m just not here for this shit.
As a Doctor Who fan, one of the most frustrating things about this was that Doctor Who is a children’s show. (The other two aren’t.) Kids like it because… it’s for kids. I don’t know how it’s marketed in America but here it’s aimed towards children, with tie-in children’s magazines and books and what have you.
Not only that, it was a children’s show which featured gay and bisexual characters and couples and kisses pre-watershed on the BBC. It was a huge deal. It was awesome. It helped. It’s all forgotten now.
