Furry normalisation on the BBC

[alittleprivacy]

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.

@Boomboom22 Yes Karen died, it was shocking, Rob found her at home, it was so sad he was begging her to wake up, if you can find it on IPlayer it’s well worth watching, how he dealt with his shock and grief over the coming weeks was so well done.

What a load of old shit. And the acting 🙄
Grandad was right, it's weird.

RE the Dr Haskey story line, I'm sure medical staff being attacked is a real problem and Al's retreat from the world is one of the best story lines they've had. My problem is how we got there.

A middle age woman suffering from thyroid issues, complaining that without her medication she is too lethargic to do anything, manages to persuade 2 men to follow her to the surgery after work to teach the Doctor a lesson. That is the problem.

The "issue" episodes are obvious, but there is an insidious creep of mother blaming running right through the show.

I admit I fast forwarded a bit, so may have missed it.

But they didn't seem to mention the sexual fetish element, or the crossover with ABDL (adult baby diaper lovers) and paedophilia.

I really just do not understand how anyone has been convinced that wanting to dress up in a bear/cat/whatever costume is a manifestation of some essential self (that we can call identity) rather than a hobby.

Why is dressing up in costumes somehow different to playing golf or knitting or anything else that is clearly a hobby? Regardless how big a role that hobby plays in someone’s life. Why are there no doctors episodes about re-educating older men who aren’t affirming their grandson’s passion for salsa dancing?

That’s setting aside the fetish aspects of the whole thing.

So just completely normal but feeling the need to declare it then?

A few years ago I was home one day and Doctors came on the TV.

I watched in disbelief as the opening shot panned over a coffee table strewn with sex toys and landed upon a provocatively dressed woman speaking on the phone, presumably to a man who was furiously masturbating on the other end of the line.

I have no idea what the storyline was, or why this was on the BBC at 2pm. Needless to say I reached for the remote in haste, but I often wonder how such a thing was allowed to be shown.

I used to listen to a Buffy podcast, with two insufferable hosts. They were two gay men in a relationship (sorry, one gay man and one bisexual man) who claimed to look at the show though a feminist lens - all well and good until they referred to JKR as "fucking trash" and a "bitch".

Anyway, one of their peak moments of insanity came when they were talking about an episode of Star Trek and an alien which appeared on the show - played by a woman and by all intents and purposes was meant to be a female alien. But they refused to use female pronouns because the show didn't officially declare them.

I thought that sort of batshittery was confined to the internet, but RTD clearly thinks it needs to be unleashed onto primetime BBC1.

It's embarrassing.

"fursona" - shaking with laughter😂

as if the reality is just being cute in animal suits.

Even if it were just being cute in animal suits, why do people have to act like it’s an essential and core part of your self.

It’s like those tik tok memes based around ‘this is my entire personality from now on’ but somehow everyone else is supposed to respect and affirm it. Weird.

The BBC normalise and try to normalise far worse than furrys!

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.

And who could blame her?

Why are posters confusing Doctors with Doctor Who?

I'm confused - is this thread about Dr Who or Doctors? Or both?!

Apologies if being a bit thick, shit night sleep (thank you peri F*ing menopause) last night and still not enough coffee had been had

I think some posters (not you) are being a bit thick and not reading the link.

People are bringing up Dr Who, I think, because the latest episode was very much in the hectoring transactivism vein too.
