'Doctor Who' Makes History With Its First Ever Same-Sex Kiss In 60 Years https://t.co/snaggz3x6i

@AdamJasper9 They really should add a clause to their contracts to stop giving actors residuals if they're ever involved in anything heinous, but until they do, I really don't think disrupting the residuals/livelihoods of hundreds of creatives to punish one vile prick is the way to go.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

Respectfully, I think removing an episode that a whole crew invested months of their life making because someone did something awful is just dumb.
Btw: Charles Dickens was a monster who left his wife for a teenager after being abusive and the show has an episode celebrating him.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@AdamJasper9 This is why I'd understand removing shows he's the lead of and that are earning him a substantial amount of money, but he appears in The God Complex for around 3-4 minutes (not to mention the hundreds of other creatives that are having their residuals taken away because of this).

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@Jayden6411742 Yup, after being abusive to his wife/kids, he left her for a teenager & tried to commit her to an insane asylum/write articles to ruin her reputation. He also saw his kids as financial burdens & was a racist imperialist who didn't think black people should have the right to vote.

@yummyoghurts I agree about the disconnect & that DW often waves a magic wand at problematic figures because "yay Britain!", but I don't think there's a contractual obligation to remove eps with problematic people. If there was, they'd have to remove every ep with N*el Cl*rke and B*rrowman too

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@TheMalesOfGames @D0ct0rCLIMMOMS Like I said, the point isn't his screentime, but a whole crew's work being lost because he turned out to be a vile prick. I think the correct way to handle this is adding a content warning denouncing the actor to avoid giving them further power/hurting the livelihoods of artists.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@TheMalesOfGames @D0ct0rCLIMMOMS I get that his role may have felt important, but he really doesn't have more than 3-4 minutes of screentime. Not that the amount of time is the point here, I think the right move would be putting a warning before his episode (plus all the ones with N*el Cl*rke and Barr*wman too)

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@nomadicwondera I just did a quick google search to estimate how much an actor from series 6 with 3 minutes of screentime would earn in residuals today, and it's between £5 and £15 per year. It's not like they're handing him a fortune or anything, he'd have likely made around 2-5 cents 😅

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@sadbatcat10 @reecepst I also think the same warning should be put in episodes with N*el Cl*arke and B*rrowman as well, I just don't see the point in erasing months of work from so many people because someone who was in it for 3 minutes in heavy alien make-up is a vile person.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@sadbatcat10 @reecepst I think the main point here is that he's not a lead, he's in it for about 3 minutes as an unrecognizable alien. I think putting a warning at the start of the episode would be more appropriate than erasing the work of hundreds of artists bc a side actor did something despicable.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@D0ct0rCLIMMOMS He plays an alien who appears so little and so heavily in make-up that almost no one recognized him, it all just adds to the absurdity of removing it. I'd understand a warning before/after it, but deleting all of it feels wrong. It's such an important episode for the Ponds too!

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@D0ct0rCLIMMOMS David Walliams, who has about 3 minutes of screentime in The God Complex, was accused of sexual misconduct and the BBC have removed the episode from iPlayer. My sympathies are obviously with the victims, but I don't think erasing the work of hundreds of artists is the way to go.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@Zachary90888 I'd understand adding a disclaimer before/after the episode or something like that, but erasing the work that so many other people have put into this feels incredibly unfair to them.

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@Zachary90888 I have a bigger issue with their portrayal because they glorify monsters, I can assure you I wouldn't enjoy an episode treating the actor in question as a hero, but that's not what TGC was. It isn't just him being erased, but the work of hundreds of people who made that episode.

Segundo Doctor Who, esta é a sede do Governo da Terra no século 26.

No clássico arco de 1973, "Frontier in Space" (com o Terceiro Doutor), Brasília é de fato retratada como a capital do Império da Terra no ano de 2540.

@imstuckinjam You'll get there someday, believe it! I have officially given up, I took ages to get to 12, I think it's as high as I'll ever go 💀

Wake up, the Avatar version of the Thirteen game has dropped

[Korra Universe @heartofkorra]

Why did I genuinely watch this 😭

[🩷Eddie Who🩷 @LPOTHC]

@imstuckinjam I got to Capaldi one time, but it's super hard, bc the regular 2048 game would stop at the 10th Doctor, to get to 12 you need 8192 and to get to 13 you need 16384, so it's nearly impossible 💀
