Hey so if it’s your headcanon that the Doctor isn’t asexual that’s fine but if you ever try to say that the Doctor CAN’T be asexual then I do not ever want to talk to you or see you or be within ten feet of you, ever.
a·sex·u·alnounnoun: asexual; plural noun: asexuals
- a person who has no sexual feelings or desires.
OOC: Yes, because it hasn’t been canon since 1963 that the Doctor has a granddaughter which (as it was presented long before the audio’s idea of Looms, which has never been shown on the show and actually goes against evidence on the show) sort of implies he also had a wife. And don’t forget the Aztec woman.
Let’s go forward a few regenerations. Rose, Elizabeth I, River, Clara. I’m not saying he can’t be asexual, but for an ace guy he’s sort of a space whore.
And it may have just been a non-canon skit, but…
- The definition you’re using is outdated. “Never or rarely experiences sexual attraction” is a more accurate definition
- having children/a partner doesn’t make you allosexual
- ooh they formed a close relationship with someone I’ve never heard of an ace person doing that
- no “wife” has ever been mentioned. Please specify.
- Looms are from the books, not the audios
- Plus, when does it go against canon? There’s nothing to suggest gallifreyans give birth
- At what point was it implied he felt sexual attraction towards anyone? Rose? Clara? It’s possible to form close relationships without feeling sexual attraction.
- “space whore”
- ‘non canon’ is a key word here
- Ace people still have the ability to talk sexually/make dirty jokes
In addition, the whole fucking point of this post was to tell people like you to stop shitting on people’s interpretation of a character and your first instinct is to shit on someone’s interpretation of a character
all of the people arguing against an ace/aro interpretation of the doctor equate ‘asexual/aromantic’ with ‘unable to feel emotions towards other people’
how many of us, as children, have had creeping thoughts of “i think i have a crush on somebody of my own gender” or “i wish i were the other gender” and dismissed them so swiftly and so effectively because those ideas were unnatural and unconscionable that they never had the chance to grow into our identities? how many more of us, when finally told from childhood that queerness is a real and good option, will be queer and will love it?
Not all men!
Yes but enough men that every girl is terrified of smiling to that guy on the bus or talking with the boy in the coffee shop. Every girl has been walking late at night at one point and been afraid of who might be following her. Every girl has referred to someone as a “creep” and every girl has refused a drink from someone she doesn’t know.
Not all men.
But enough men that all women are now afraid of most men.
It’s gotten so bad that we have to be afraid of even telling you we are afraid. We can’t ask that you please stop talking to us. Because if we do we run the risk of being labeled a “stuck up bitch” and blamed for murders and rapes in which we are the victims.
So we speak to you with body language that we hope you’ll understand. We cross our legs and look out the window and wear giant headphones that are giant signs that subtly read “DON’T TALK TO ME!” But you insist on ignoring those signs because you have it in your head that our body language doesn’t mean anything. That our bodies aren’t our bodies.
Not all men.
You can start fucking saying that when all women can stop being afraid. But that’s not gonna happen if every man a women opens up to about this issue dismisses her by saying “Not all men.”
an unofficial letter to the skeezball at work all men.
