That is not a real fan, or a real opinion, or even a real person. Pure trolling. Don't give them the oxygen.
Stop using Twitter.
Always good advice, as I said I'm only viewing tweets (through nitter) to make heads and tails of news items. The link above is also to a nitter instance so you guys don't have to visit twitter either.
I gets it my dude. Imo it's not about how you view the content, it's consuming the content at all. It's not that the site is bad, it's just that it seems nowadays everyone involved with Twitter is just kinda shit. Again - my opinion.
I am not on Twitter. I did find the first episode of the specials way too heavy-handed, but I absolutely loved the other two episodes. I love when Doctor Who has progressive messages but I want them to feel more organic and less like a morality tale. I love the appearance of the new doctor and I hope they will not do the preachiness in the same way in the coming seasons.
They are clearly just a bigot and twitter is a safe space for them.
People were the same when it was women.
Basically if the doctor isn't a straight, white and cisgender man people lose their minds.

Don't forget that Chibnall is just bad, and that letting him showrun the first female Doctor was a horrible idea. Genuine discontent allows for biggots to more easily insert their own agenda and steer the course of discussion.
I need to say, Chibnall wasn't bad bad. He just looks that way following runs by RTD and Moffat and, honestly, so would most other showrunners in the scifi/fantasy genre.
He did some middling series with a couple of clunker episodes, that's all. We've just been spoilt for quality in Doctor who post-2005!
I haven't kept up with the series and I'm probably not going to start again right now, but is the doctor canonically gay? Like did he regenerate gay, or is the actor just very obviously gay and they don't address it otherwise?
So the new actor, Ncuti, is IRL "gay"- David Tennant is not, he has a wife and children and there's a whole Doctor Who story behind that too. But the Doctor has never been "straight", at least not for NuWho ( but there was some serious flamboyance in the classic series too). Jack and the Doctor kiss in the first season of NuWho and 13 fell in hard like with Yaz, her female companion. Plus there are scattered remarks throught the show that would make one question the Doctors sexuality if it mattered.
The Doctor is essentially omni-sexual. They fall in love with a personality not genitals or species.
It's twitter. What did you expect? That is just the average twitter user about anything.
The few civilized people on Twitter left. It's just assholes now.
