learn your fucking history

(IMAGE ID: A man sitting in a pew in a church labeled “Modern Who is too political”. Behind him is a person with a gun labeled “Vengeance on Varos’ election subplot”. Behind them is another person with a gun labeled “Genesis of the Daleks’ fascism allegory”. From a hidden corner is a sniper pointing a gun at that person, labeled “Barbara saying trans rights in The Aztecs”.)

#for reference those stories came out in 1985 1975 and 1964 respectively #and that’s barely even scratching the surface of this show’s history of political commentary #there’s the thatcherism arc with a pink tardis #eight saying that he’s never had a gender #three casually mentioning that he’s good buddies with chairman mao of all people #(watching several decades worth of writers for the show try to figure out what to do with that is fun)#nuwho’s gotten in on the fun too since like. aliens of london #i’m not saying it’s perfect but i am saying that i would like to know the definition of political commentary that #exists in the head of people who make these kinds of dumbass complaints #doctor who #classic who #vengeance on varos #genesis of the daleks #the aztecs #barbara wright #with genesis of the daleks it’s not even an allegory as much as it is terrance dicks beating you over the head with theconsequencesoffascis #how the fuck do you miss that
