Furry normalisation on the BBC

I'm starting to fear we are living in a very messed up simulation. How is this actually happening. A storyline on Doctors where a bigotted grandfather is helped by a social worker to love and accept his grandson's furry lifestyle.

Tbf the Doctors thing is accidentally hilarious so I doubt it’s going to convince anyone that fursonas are completely normal and not at all creepy.

I do worry that the backlash against this kind of thing is going to hurt the gays the most though, because some people do bundle all this stuff up. And that’s not helped by TV like this trying to create parallels.

I haven’t watched Call the Midwife in years, but I did tend to enjoy the sensation of being beaten over the head with the guardian if I’m being honest!

Are mums supposed to be excited about and ask for previews of their children’s teddy bear themed fetish wear now?

Are adult children supposed to want to involve their mothers in this shit?

Oh god. Doctor who. Why? Normalizing this shit so my 14 yr old DD is reconvinced it’s ok, the binder is ok, the rogd is ok, the mental confusion and distress is ok.
BBC, this is NOT ok.

Just seen the review in the Times about Dr Who…..turns out my worst fears were realised . And the rant from the writer is inexcusable.

Ramblingnamechanger · 25/11/2023 19:44

Could someone deconstruct Dr Who please? I tuned in at the end to hear the female character shouting out Binary and I will not be kind, her daughter , possibly a son declared that male presenting Doctors don’t know anything and now they could be themself. Curious but problematic I think.

The US livestreams court hearings from a rich diversity of places.

Judge Middleton's court is in a small town (e.g., he attends trivia nights with aunts from his classmates from high school; most of the town stops what they're doing so they can attend someone's funeral). Not furries but in many ways this encounter is very sweet and typical of him (he encounters, "I'm not a 'Sir'"). Play the short clip from the URL timestamp to about 1.11 or 1.37.

I wonder if these are BBC 'diversity' tickbox hires? Doctors is an entry point for new writers and I can envision a scenario where a white male could claim to be 'diverse' if he identifies as something pronouny and then whatever he does is waved through unchallenged because it's his 'lived experience', blah blah.

Grandpa knows exactly what's up, he's right on the money.

I thought this was a comedy sketch tbh. I must be old and behind the curve. Is this for real??

So glad this has been cancelled. It deserves it. Normalising paraphilias on daytime TV is f###ing weird and breaks a boundary, as ever. And one wonders what type of person is drawn to this paraphilia...

Froodwithatowel · 25/11/2023 15:48

And why are tax payers funding this tripe? If it's going that niche then it can be funded by the people watching it.

As opposed to those the BBC are aiming to indoctrinate. Call the Midwife has become like being beaten over the head with a copy of the Guardian while a nun tells you "Nice people think like this. You want to be a nice person don't you? Nice people Think This."

I always half expect a quiz at the end with a "now what have we all learned?" moment. Although I am appreciating more and more the nun who listens smilingly to all the crap, the docks have blown up/burned down/invaded by rabbits, and then says sweetly that the grand silence is about to start so good luck with all that and do drop by tomorrow and tell her how it went.

My kind of woman.

Jeez. It's one thing for programme makers to try and shove in paraphilias, to normalise them, it's quite another for the bloody BBC to be complicit.

what the fuck is wrong with them???

As if furries would allow him in the pub, they missed the bit for the willy holes too. But yes if that really was what they did it would be fine 🤣

And the buttplug tails😂

woopdedoodle · 25/11/2023 15:26

Doctors is so far gone it's unsavable, and luckily the BBC has cancelled it so we don't have to worry.

It turns me into a raving madwoman almost ever lunch time, OH having watched from almost the beginning refuses to stop.

It's nuts, and the story lines as it disappears up it's own bottom are ludicrous.
Try the episode were all the flags are explained as the gay nurse had a melt down as the NHS had nicked the rainbow and he wanted it back.

Or the middle age female gang leader who had a doctor beaten up as she couldn't get a repeat prescription.

Just now they are busy painting women as the destroyers of all that is good, every thing is our fault . The only odd thing in Furryland was that the adult baddy was an elderly male, but then it was thrown in that Mum had done a runner years ago.
