However, that \u2063excitement quickly turned to disappointment when the first of three specials\u200b aired. Clips\u200c circulating\u2064 on social media showed Tennant&#8217;s Doctor \u2064engaging in what fans considered to \u2062be &#8220;leftist drivel&#8221; rather than the star-spanning adventures they had come to expect from the show.<\/p>\n<p>In one scene, the Doctor is\u200c verbally criticized\u2064 for assuming the\u2063 gender of an extraterrestrial, causing some \u2064fans to comment that the\u2064 show had \u200bveered into social justice-tinged \u2062storylines.\u2062 Other clips showed a perceived anti-male\u200c tenor in \u2062the show. Fans took to\u2064 social media to express their discontent, using hashtags like #RIPDoctorWho to\u2062 declare the franchise dead.<\/p>\n<p>These controversial scenes have\u2063 sparked a wider\u2063 discussion about \u2063how far-leftism can ruin \u2064various forms of entertainment, from sports to film and television. Many believe that it&#8217;s better to disperse\u200b and reconvene elsewhere than to engage with the guilt trips and messaging that often \u2062come with the\u2063 infiltration of leftism into these areas.<\/p>\n<p>While\u200c the future of &#8220;Doctor Who&#8221; remains \u2063uncertain, one thing is clear: fans expect \u200dthe show to stay true to its science fiction\u200d roots and provide the star-spanning\u2064 adventures they have\u2064 come to love.
