the extra layer of all the kids being rich, too

because of course riches and wealth are reserved for the white in a racist society

[nutmeggery]

there was no true "phone bad message"

the people live in their own personal bubble, choosing who to interact with, who listen to, they refuse to look outside their bubble, they take directions from their personal bubble, even their city is in a bubble! a 'pure' society. It's about the racism, the colonialism, the indoctrination of the new generation to uphold the beliefs of their society.

you’re not supposed to like Ricky guys just because he smiles and is nice and attractive doesn’t mean he isn’t as bad as the rest of them

Lindy is easy to hate on purpose. Ricky is the level 2 media literacy challenge

I personally don’t understand how people are getting “phone bad” from the new Doctor Who episode when privileged socialites created a colony to preserve their status and race, and technology to keep them constantly connected to each other and separated from anything else outside of them just so they can preserve prejudiced values…

"why couldn't she walk without the arrows?"

it's a commentary on critical thinking and common sense which ties in with the broader theme of the episode. hope this helps!

I don’t care what you think. Okay? You can say whatever you want. You can think…absolutely anything. I will do anything…if you just allow me to save your lives.

Love it when the kinda half-formed observations you make about an episode finally come to the forefront.

Watching the start of "Dot and Bubble": Hmm, everyone in this episode is very... white.

Halfway through: The Doctor certainly continues to stand out, especially in that bright red sweater amongst all the pastels

Lindy freaking out about the Doctor and Ruby being in the same room together: I suppose that could be due to some cultural taboo about interacting in-person when everyone is supposed to communicate via bubble, but that doesn't track with what we've seen of her work day...

The "twist" that the chronically online, all white, super rich, entitled to the point of satire, willing to sacrifice others without hesitation, oh so eager to colonize people living in a literal bubble (TWO bubbles) are *gasp!* actually, devastatingly racist...

Yeah, that's not a twist. That's all deliberately interconnected. The episode didn't suddenly move from an argument about social media use to an argument about racism; the two historically go hand-in-hand.

the people complaining about the racism message in dot and bubble by saying "who is the demographic for this??" are telling on themselves so hard

[nutmeggery]

the moral of the story:

maybe we should let the slugs eat the rich, after all

[nutmeggery]

When the episode looked like it was just a “kids these days with their tinktonks” and then suddenly the protagonist kills harry styles and then reveals she’s been racist this whole time

[nutmeggery]

that kpop boy who posted to boycott SB on IG definitely got a call from a manager because that post did not stay up long

anyway keep boycotting starbucks

and fuck the kpop companies

[nutmeggery]

okay but do we genuinely think Ruby's origin is some Netflix's Dark type shit

this season of Doctor Who is basically a long game of spot Susan
