The OG Wu-can't-make-tea truther

thing thats pissing me off the most is that in rtd’s post, he’s acting like the christmas special being written and the casting of the next doctor are some crazy fandom conspiracies and not. things that we were fucking told were happening. the fuck do you mean, “sit in that chair and wait to be proved right?” YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID THOSE THINGS WERE COMING.

this is not a secret fourth sherlock episode situation, sir, you said multiple fucking times that things were in the works for a christmas special. you commented on the doctor’s casting and whether piper was the next doctor or not. no one made this up. you did that. what the hell are we being mocked for, believing what we were told by the guy who was supposed to be in charge of making it happen???

there are many villains out there who will try and advise you on how to write a woman (unproblematic, never causing conflict, a pretty ear to listen to the real characters' problems, a good example to an imagined audience of little girls of every age that haven't learned the bliss of silence and obedience yet, happy on the sideline, little to no agency, sometimes with the honour dying to motivate a man, a pleasing set dressing above all else) as if it is an entirely different skillset from writing a Man (complicated, nuanced, multifaceted, a profound reflection of What It Means To Be Human). it is important to identify that many of these half baked creative writing professors with a monetised youtube channel don't see women as fully realised people in their real lives so the woman they want you to write is a pretty doll

you need to pinocchio her right now. you need to give her the curse. you need to make her selfish. you need to make her cruel. you need to make her kind. you need to make her a bad listener. you need to make her a big fat hypocrite. you need to make her a liar. you need to make her tell the harsh truth. you need to make her love conditional. you need to make her love too easily. you need to make her not love at all. you need her to ask 'what's in it for me?' you need to give her convictions. you need to make her ruthless. you need to make her flakey and fickle. you need to make her loyal. you need to make her a traitor. you need to make her loud and quiet and soft and hard. you need to make her say 'no' and mean it. you need to make her a coward. you need to make her the bravest person there is. you need to make her arrogant. you need to make her actions and their consequences have weight in the story. you need to make her indecisive. you need to make her a hulking great monster. you need to give her conflict. you need her to make choices. you need her to make mistakes. you need her to say and do the wrong thing. you need her to not know what to do. you need her to ignore good advice. you need her to give bad advice. you need to make her ruled by her own pride. you need to make her respected in her field. you need to make her sort of a loser. you need to make her a womaniser. you need to make her a child killer. you need to make her a bigot. you need to make us root for her. you need to make us pray for her downfall. you need to make us pity her. you need to make us frustrated with her. you need to make us understand her, yet abhor her. you need to make us tune in next week just to see what she'll do next. you need to make us think about her on our lunchbreak. you need to make her care too much about what people think. you need to make her not give a fuck. you need to make her strong. you need to make her dirty. you need to make her sanitise her hands and sneer after she touches someone. you need to make her manipulative. you need to make her a great shot. you need to make her a terrible one. you need to make her a sex god. you need to make her bad in bed. you need to make her just sort of ok. you need to make her smart. you need to make her an idiot. you need to make her change over the course of the story for better or worse. you need to keep her stuck in her ways. you need to save her. you need to let her tragedy play out. you need to make her want what she doesn't need and need what she doesn't want. you don't have to like her. she is a storytelling device; she is not a person but you need her to make sense as one.

the idea that the british empire accepted their decline with grace and peacefully and willingly withdrew from all their colonial territories and took their loss quietly is commonly expressed as fact but it's very much untrue, it's a successful propaganda campaign for them to claim that this is what happened but they were busy committing war crimes throughout their colonial territories long after supposed "independence" & they continued/continue to maintain economic control over these regions and actively killed local movements that wanted economic sovereignty, land reform, nationalization of natural resources much like the united states did/does within their sphere of influence. i say this not to minimize the atrocities the us has committed but to make a point that the uk is also guilty of these crimes up to the present as much as they'd like to pretend this was an era that ended a century ago. british colonial violence isn't something that ended after ww2 it continued throughout the 20th century and still to this day if you look at the actions undertaken by the british military and their mercenaries throughout the former empire

for the past handful of years ive seen people say stuff like "well the british empire accepted their decline with grace and pulled out when they saw the ship sinking so why can't the us do that" and it's important that you understand that the british empire didn't actually do that and neither will their son lol

i know this is shocking to many of you but this is the mainstream belief in the uk + the narrative that is pushed at a state level, in school, by the bbc, etc. and i've heard it expressed by many canadians/americans/australians as well. "they quietly withdrew" is not just a media propaganda thing but a programme the british colonial office undertook to cover up their crimes, see operation legacy

just so we’re clear if you’ve never actually seen a cybertruck in person and have only seen photos of them i cannot stress enough how much worse they look in real life. like i honestly don’t know how it’s possible. most things look basically the same in pictures and in real life. but as stupid and ugly as cybertrucks look in photos, every person i’ve spoken to who has seen one in real life agrees that they somehow look even worse in person. and i know you’re thinking to yourself “tah they already look so bad in photos, how can they possibly look even worse in person?” I DONT KNOW. the first time i saw one on the road i was on a phone call and i literally cut myself off in the middle of a sentence just to be like “oh my GOD.” just an incredibly, laughably, unbelievably bad vehicle. i’ve never experienced anything like it. they’re just so bad
