Welcome to my blague.

I dislike Moff’s writing as much as the next Whovian, but this is off. First of all, it’s a British programme written by British writers, so unless you mean the writing is anti-monarchy (I’ve found the programme to be very pro-monarchy, to my distaste), it’s not about the USA Republican party because people generally don’t think about supporting foreign political parties in their work. Moffat’s an arse and probably a Tory but I doubt he swings as far right as the USA Republican party. I’m not really disputing the first and third bullet point because I don’t have thoughts on these atm. I’m a scientist but I didn’t get the impression that the recent episode was anti-GMO, I just think it was used as a plot point rather than a moral lecture. I’d only be able to interpret it as anti-GMO if I were anti-GMO myself (as confirmation bias).

I realise now that we are watching the show from entriely different cultural perspectives. You would have to actually believe that GMOs had the ability to destroy the world, which is not a mainstream belief in the UK hence why it’s hard for me to see this as propaganda as it’s more like blatant make-believe, which I imagine it was intended as. As in, it’s on the same unbelievability level as a hospital being moved to the moon.

My original reaction post is because in my brain I’ve lumped GMOs into the statue of liberty category - my understanding was that no one was scared of them in the same way that no one is scared of the statue of liberty, hence why it appeared to me as make-believe when viewing the episode, not propaganda. I’m very willing to accept the idea that people might be scared of them (any other UK-based Whovians please weigh in, I’m just one person with one perspective) but this wasn’t a part of my understanding when I viewed the episode, this is new info. You said in the first post that “GMOs are evil and will end all life on Earth” was an explicit message, I am providing an alternative and entirely genuine perspective. I could well be wrong, but I don’t believe this was a purposeful choice because in my life experience no one is scared of GMOs and I doubt Moffat is either.

The tattoos you get now will one day rot off your flesh. It doesn’t matter if they’re ugly. Nobody will see them in 900 years.
