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.

Wow i've turned myself inside out cringing so hard at that tripe!

Boomboom22 · 25/11/2023 15:25

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 🤣

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.

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???

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.

Musomama1 · 25/11/2023 15:58

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...

User0000009 · 25/11/2023 16:03

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

Ingenieur · 25/11/2023 16:07

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

IvyTwines · 25/11/2023 17:41

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.

RethinkingLife · 25/11/2023 18:44

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.

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.

Ramblingnamechanger · 25/11/2023 21:23

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.

Drwhattf · 25/11/2023 21:26

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.

UnremarkableBeasts · 25/11/2023 21:27

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?

TheMarzipanDildo · 25/11/2023 22:30

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!

thirdfiddle · 25/11/2023 23:11

Dr Who: alien being apparently understanding and participating in pronoun ritual was a new low. Although it did declare its pronouns to be the definite article "the", so maybe its English grammar knowledge wasn't as good its woke culture awareness. It'll surely be an interesting record of 2020s cultural excesses, but engaging to watch not really.

AyrshireTryer · 25/11/2023 23:16

I like both Doctors and Doctor Who.

DuckDuckNo · 25/11/2023 23:18

God, this will all look so cringe and dated in just a few years

Boomboom22 · 25/11/2023 23:19

When I was a teenager I has a fabulous tight t shirt from Camden Market that said
I am not a bitch
I am the bitch
That's Miss bitch to you

I loved it so much. This thread just reminded me. 🤣

AzureBlue99 · 25/11/2023 23:31

The BBC has now got people in relative power pushing their own agendas. They have risen up the ranks, and there are enough of them now to keep pushing and pushing. It's blatant. I do think it is time to get rid of the license fee. I don't want to pay to support them.

I agree that I hate the ‘agenda’ episodes on Doctors but it doesn’t happen that often, I think it’s a huge shame it’s been cancelled, they have some fantastic storylines and the one you have highlighted as being ridiculous isn’t ridiculous at all, Dr Haskey being attacked by a patient leads on to highlighting the PTS and agoraphobia he is suffering due to being attacked and how he is trying to overcome it, he has acted his scenes fantastically well. I also like how the problems in the NHS are highlighted, the current storyline of Rhuma the midwife and the lack of midwives being at crisis point, another brilliant storyline, the sudden death of the receptionist Karen was heartbreaking but again done sensitively and acted so well, there are many more I could highlight, those are just a sample.

Doctors is also a great shoe in for new writers and actors cutting their teeth, it gets bonus points that it’s not set in London for once, shame on the BBC for cancelling it, I will really miss it.

Makemydaypunk · 25/11/2023 23:56

I’ve not watched Dr Who today but going by the comments on here I presume David Tennant has had a hand in the storyline as isn’t his child trans in real life?

Boomboom22 · 25/11/2023 23:58

Karen died? Wtf! How is the policeman?
