Stunning and Brave: Fake Doctor Who Falls to Lowest Ratings In Thirty One Years; "Batwoman" Tells the World She's a Lesbian, and Loses Almost a Half Million Viewers in a Week

Get Woke...

Doctor Who is the need of a defibrillator as the show continues to have one foot in the grave as its latest episode is the worst viewed in 31 years of its 57-year history.

Sunday's episode, "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror," was only watched by 4.04 million viewers in the UK.

We have to go way back to Season 23 of September, 1986 to see a lesser amount of viewers as "The Mysterious Planet" Part Four only had 3.7 million viewers tuning in.

And the first run of Doctor Who was cancelled a couple of years after that terrible rating.


Here are the season's ratings so far -- and these already are a huge drop from last year's ratings, which themselves dropped throughout the season:

Episode 1 "Spyfall, Part 1": 4.9 million

Episode 2 "Spyfall, Part 2": 4.6 million

Episode 3 "Orphan 55": 4.19 million

Episode 4 "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror": 4.04 millio

Peter Capaldi's average ratings in his last season-- which were deemed so low as to demand a major shake-up in the series -- were 5.4 million.

And this article says that the current season's ratings are inflated by including "Live + 7" ratings -- not just the ratings on the night it was aired, but including everyone who then watches a download of it for the next week -- whereas previous seasons' ratings were just for the first night of airing.


Meanwhile, on Rotten Tomatoes, viewers of the show have blasted it with incredibly low positive ratings -- only 5% positive, a couple of weeks ago.

So Rotten Tomatoes does what Rotten Tomatoes does -- it started deleting negative reviews to appease a corporate friend.

Rotten Tomatoes is once again being accused of removing reviews, this time for Doctor Who, and doctoring the Audience Score.

The movie review aggregate site owned by Comcast's Fandango and run by a former exec at Disney has been accused of similar behavior for Captain Marvel and Disney Star Wars.

Even when they're deleting negative reviews, they can only get Doctor Who's positive audience ratings up to... 13%.

The #Woke Reviewers, of course, love it, giving it the Stunning and Brave rating of 81%.

The BBC will probably cancel the show. It can't go on with such low ratings. But they also won't just fire the current star and the terrible showrunner (Chris Chibnall) because that would be to admit that they made an error, and they would far rather destroy the show entirely than admit that #WokePolittics don't make for popular entertainment.

Let the whole house burn down, but be sure to preserve the precious Narrative. That's irreplaceable.

They'll claim that the premise is simply exhausted. Nothing we can do. Shrug.

The comic book review channel Comics Matter always points out that SJWs do not mind destroying franchises -- if a "Boy's Franchise" cannot be successfully remade into a viable propaganda organ for the left, then the next-best option is to simply eradicate it. Destroying it is a good Plan B -- at least you've taken something away from Men. (And White Men, especially!)

Meanwhile, the Strong Empowered "Batwoman" TV show made the Stunning and Brave choice of having the main character, who is an out-and-proud lesbian in her civilian secret identity, also proclaim to the world that her costumed avenger identity, Batwoman, is also an out and proud lesbian.

One would think that if you were a superhero with a secret identity, and you had a trait that you shared with 1% of the population, you might keep that uncommon trait quiet, for fear of simply telling the world "Hey, I'm Batwoman."

But Batwoman told the world she was a lesbian, making it a matter of hours and days before someone figures out, "Hey, maybe that lesbian that looks just like her is secretly Batwoman."

But at least Batwoman told the world she was a lesbian for a good reason: Because a man had pushed her out of the way of a bullet, and the tabloids began falsely reporting she was dating that man, and she decided she could not let the world believe that Batwoman was a straight woman.

This, reviewers tell me, is real. This is what happened on the show.

So she announced she was a lesbian, with a full magazine spread and cover photo that would almost certainly identifier as former special forces trainee Kate Kane.

Who is also a member of a family of billionaires, and so would be in position to buy a lot of bat-themed tech.

Secret identity, secret shmidentity!

She just could not abide the thought of the world thinking her costumed vigilante bat-themed persona was a damned breeder. And so she'd rather risk the lives of her family by telling every criminal "Hey, I'm really Kate Kane! Please kidnap my father!"

The result? Batwoman's ratings collapsed.

Now, hold on: I don't really think the ratings collapsed because of this one episode (subtly titled, "How Queer Everything is Today!").

I think the ratings collapsed because the show was a piece of shit since day one and only SJWs were Obligation-Viewing to support this Stunning and Brave show.

But SJWs are terrible fans who do not support franchises.

And you can't just watch a boring, terrible show out of nothing but Political Spite forever.

So they have, predictably, checked out. As they always do.

Bad news for The CW's Batwoman series as following the big Crisis On Infinite Earth's crossover, its ratings collapse, as the show suffers its worst viewership to date with the "How Queer Everything Is Today!" episode.

Not including the Crisis crossover episode, Batwoman has been averaging around 1.26 million viewers, but the post-Crisis episode that aired Sunday, only managed a series low 780k viewers.

That's a 38% drop from the season average and a loss of over 480k viewers.

This is also the first time that Batwoman has had a lower amount of viewers than Supergirl.

A lot of people point out that the CW is trying to milk Batwoman for SJW points by claiming she's the first lesbian lead on a superhero show, ever, but that's not true.

It's not even true of CW superhero shows. Which any of the reporters and reviewers of this show would know if they actually liked the shows they claim they love.

On Legends of Tomorrow, the lead character -- leader of the team, first billed in the credits -- is a "bisexual" but she's increasingly just been a straight lesbian for some time. She's currently in love with a woman.

The main male character in recent years is also bisexual, and mostly just gay. He was only shown to have a truly "love" type relationship with one person, who was a dude.

So this is really not Stunning and Brave at all. It's less SAB, and more SOP.

But at least Picard of Star Trek: Picard isn't going to be gender-swapped, or announce that he's transitioned into a male lesbian.

But he will have the signs of full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome, as CNET -- owned by CBS, just as Star Trek is -- is all too eager to report.

When we last left him on Star Trek: The Next Generation or the final TNG film, Star Trek: Nemesis, there was still hope and belief in the Federation. Two decades later, Picard, played with full-throated vim and vigor by Patrick Stewart, instead rants about its failings and why he resigned.

"The galaxy was mourning, burying its dead, and Starfleet slunk from its duties," Picard barks, a nod to the destruction of Romulus that sets off the chain of events from the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek film. He calls the Federation "downright criminal."

"I was not prepared to stand by and be a spectator," he said.

See, Starfleet "standing by" as Romulus was destroyed (they didn't "stand by," by the way) is a crude metaphor for Trump closing the borders to refugees, and Britain exiting the EU to control the uncontrolled levels of immigration.

Picard has said as much in other interviews:

"I'd say the leadership of both countries (the US and UK) is somewhat questionable," Stewart said in an interview earlier this month. "And that is the same situation we find Starfleet in -- and the Federation."

So if you wanted the show to be about a Starfleet that is a force for good in the galaxy -- you lose. Starfleet will be a "a mirror to our modern dystopia," trumpets this corporate synergystic advertisement's title.

This won't be Star Trek: TNG part 2.

It'll be Star Trek: DNC.

The scene is also the clearest statement to fans that Star Trek: Picard, which premieres Jan. 23, isn't just a rehash of TNG, which ended its run nearly 26 years ago. Like Star Trek: Discovery, the first Trek show to run on CBS All Access (disclosure: CNET and CBS All Access are both owned by ViacomCBS), Picard embraces the conflict and shades of gray embraced by contemporary television but that some fans may see as a departure from Gene Roddenberry's hopeful vision of the future.

But some fans forget Star Trek has always reflected society.

Ah, the "some fans forget" gambit.

This is the standard media play every time they turn a franchise into an SJW propaganda vessel and wind up losing ratings -- they immediately start weaponizing the friendly shill-media press into labeling ex-fans as "toxic fans" that they're better off with anyway.

But now Star Trek: Picard is picking up the pace to label their former fans as "toxic" before the show even debuts. Fans who have spent literally thousands of dollars buying and re-buying movies on various formats, and buying merch and toys and models, will be written off as "a small group of alt-right misogynists and racists and transphobes" to deflect blame from the latest SJW disaster.

As they literally always do.

Burn, baby. Burn.

24 When people are talking about *that*, whatever it is, they're not talking about the story. They're not talking about the SHOW.

This is happening in written entertainment, too. When all the "buzz" is about the attributes of the author, no one is talking about the book.

I doubt there's many people who quit watching *because* of the thing, whatever it is. And I don't know what is cause and what is effect.

Are they talking about the *thing* because there is nothing in the story worth talking about? Or does focusing on the *thing* take the creator's eyes off of Story?

Audience reviews are a much better barometer, but even those are suspect to where I don't know what to believe.

I watched part of one episode out of curiosity.

Should lesbian Batwoman get dropped by the CW I'm sure there's any number of adult websites that could fund a continuation of the series, albeit with a different focus.

When they have them as characters they often become a show favorite -- two examples being "30 Rock's" Jack Donaughey and "Parks and Recs'" Ron Swanson.

Notice, too, that in both those shows the character starts off as a caricature, a joke, but quickly becomes the voice of reason and mentor/father figure for the feminist lead character. LOL!

88 This is the standard media play every time they turn a franchise into an
SJW propaganda vessel and wind up losing ratings -- they immediately
start weaponizing the friendly shill-media press into labeling ex-fans
as "toxic fans" that they're better off with anyway.

What's interesting to me is where they find the money to do this?

Vaporizing IPs may be entertaining for the SJWs, but someone ponied up investment cash. These are trendy non-profits, they're supposed to make money back.

The good thing is that eventually these beloved franchises will be pawned off for pennies on the dollar and then maybe they can get their due.

Really. Just an awful show.
Posted by: garrett at January 22, 2020 05:24 PM (0zK06)

Yeah...I'm a fan of the show going on almost 3 decades, and I'll agree it does pretty much suck in terms of stories. What it had going for it was that the Doctor was a really great character and his universe was really fun, and also it had that quintessential British charm to it. An acquired taste, I fully admit, but it was what it was, and there wasn't really anything else like it.

Now, however, it's the same flavor of boring Woke as every-f-ing-thing else.

Screw it. Let it all burn down.

They seriously would rather preach to us than make money. By not preaching you're not alienating anybody. Nobody is going to watch a great sci-fi story and say "But why aren't they tying in global warming or the evils of capitalism?"

Hell, they're probably even alienating half of the gays that do watch. Not all gays believe white men are bad or global warming will kill us all. They're whittling your audience down to a very particular demographic. One that might not even exist.

I never saw it. Never plan to see it. I'm not gay. I don't need to be told that men, when left alone with other men for extended periods of time, will sodomize each other to make up for the lack of women, which turns into love.

If you're gay, fine. Go be gay. I'm not. I don't want to watch movies about being gay. I don't want my favorite TV shows turning the main characters gay.

I believe in God and The Bible, which are pretty specific about the whole gay thing.

I don't know about recent shows but Good Neighbors, Keeping up Appearances, and Red Dwarf are incredibly funny. Old. Yes. Old shows.

Dr. Who was always that weird show you watched as a college student because it was odd enough that you felt extra smart for being able to enjoy it.

TOS was all about the stories, against a common backdrop that kind of evolved.

Later series ended up being about world (or universe) building, and lost the great story aspect of old Sci Fi.

174 But now Star Trek: Picard is picking up the pace to label their former fans as "toxic" before the show even debuts. Fans who have spent literally thousands of dollars buying and re-buying movies on various formats, and buying merch and toys and models, will be written off as "a small group of alt-right misogynists and racists and transphobes" to deflect blame from the latest SJW disaster.

And those fans will go right along buying movies, merchandise and toys, all the while saying "thank you sir, may I have another?"

Just like NBA and NFL fans who keep watching even though the anti-America, anti-white, anti-you hatred couldn't be more in your face.

Things like this won't die so long as people keep fellating the SJWs spitting in their faces.

-When the remake showed up on prime several years ago. I watched a few episodes and liked some of the first new doctor guy. It was not great, but ok for boredom fodder.

- Tennant did not seem bad. The frantic energy kind of picked things up and there were a few stand out episodes that seemed fun.

-I liked The Matt Smith stuff to start off with. They seemed to be going in a more serious direction and kind of had a better dramatic feel to them. This quickly changed to a feeling of Drama Queen, so I started kind of zoning out.

-Capaldi, the one or two episodes I watched just seemed... strange. So I kind of stopped watching entirely there.

I watched the Baker/Pertwee ones back in the early 80's on PBS, and found them mildly entertaining if I smoked enough dope.
However, when they rebooted the Doctor in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston, I was totally sold. Here was a modern, cynical and not particularly jovial Doctor. In a leather jacket. He was responsible for breathing life into it. They had some really good stories at first "Bad Wolf". Tennant was good, "Blink" was a classic horror story. But the slide began in earnest by 2010, and I bailed.

The wokeness wasn't very well covered up even then, and it apparently had to get to the point of being totally embarrassing to catch anybody's attention, which it did when Capaldi signed on a few years back. The current Doctor is the equivalent of pissing on the grave.

248 Ok, you wanna know something odd? Days Gone.

If you do not play games, Days Gone is a zombie open world game on the PS4. It has the one guy from Star Wars Force Unleashed. Not a bad actor.

The odd thing about the game is that usually zombie fiction is a race to see how dark, hopeless and lost you can go. How gritty. How miserable. It gets old real quick.

This games twist was that there was a happy fucking ending. An old school, hero succeeds, evil defeated, sunset happy ending (now this is still a zombie apocalypse so it is not like Bing Crosby is singing White Christmas at the end.)

It floored me. Completely unexpected and damn refreshing. I recommend the game based on that fact alone.

Datwoman - watched one or two episodes and couldn't stop laughing. Sorry, but the protagonist is what, a buck fifty? I mean, she's tiny. And skinny. I'm no super villain but I could toss her around like a bag of potatoes. F=MA, force equals mass times acceleration. In other words, you hit someone it helps to have big fucking arms and legs, unless you intend on moving those arms and legs at super human speed. And dear lord, she's a total asshole, in episode after episode. No class. "I'll show you" is the theme of every single show. Also she has this skinny little neck, then this bulbous head covered in her bat armor helmet. She looks like a black Q-tip.

At least the chick who plays white canary on legends of tomorrow has some meat on her.

It was "here is a parallel dimension where different things happened".

I didn't mind this at all. I rather liked it, really. At least for the first movie. And I felt that overall the end result was more optimistic. Which may seems counter-intuitive. But I liked that they didn't have to fix everything at the end in order to go forward.

The second movie I thought failed on that potential because it worked to the same end point instead of continuing to have history diverge.

The third was okay and entertaining enough but seemed like a television episode because nothing big or impactful of the direction of history happened.

318 And, maybe this is just the American in me, but I always hated Doctor Who. He's this annoying, smug asshole with a holier than though attitude and is a pain in the ass.

I spent most episodes hoping he'd get the shit kicked out of him. To this day, I don't know why he didn't get punched, constantly.

Once I figured out he was never going to get thrashed, I stopped watching.

Tom Baker was charming, though.

327 At least in this country - with the the exception of PBS - you can make the networks, studios, streaming services, etc. bleed. Just don't watch. Sure, someone may subsidize it like CNN gets a subsidy, but at least you can make red ink flow and make some billionaire make a choice as to whether to keep vomiting money into it.

I am sure BBC "telly license" payers would like even that meager, largely symbolic ability.

356 "But some fans forget Star Trek has always reflected society."

During the original run of TOS it was the height of the Cold War. The US was in Vietnam War & the accompanying civil unrest was tearing the country apart. The great US economy of the '50's & early '60s was headed down the toilet. There were race riots in the big cities. MLK was assassinated. The Tet Offensive took place and I was born.

And yet Star Trek still had a hopeful version of the future.

I have avoided calling them for years, preferring to dig through documentation rather than talk to them. It was a good improvement.

One weirdness, though. They are pushing their mobile app. Hard. Really hard. The agent pitched it to me four times during the call. Since the call, I have gotten two follow-up E-Mails, one singing the virtues of the app and the other formally inviting me to download it easily today.

No way. Not putting medical insurance spyware on my phone. No bid, no sale. But how hard they are flogging it was surprising, even to an old cynic like me. They must *really* want your data. Can't imagine why ...

I've long thought that the Giant Planet Destroying Ice Cream Cone from Star Trek Original Series is a good metaphor for the Left in the Western World. Set in motion by a long-gone ancient enemy (the Soviet Union / Comintern), it keeps mindlessly destroying and consuming. Even the Russians are disgusted by it now.

Like many others, Patrick Stewart is a component of the mindless autonomous weapon. Maybe a rivet in his case, on account of his bald head.

Yes. The stories in the old shows were interesting, and entertaining.
I watched the Dracula miniseries on Netflix, and Stephen Moffat was a writer. It reminded me a little of an old Dr. Who episode without Dr. Who. Some clever twists, and in an overall manner, mostly faithful to the original.

And you'd think'd have figured it out.

When they relaunched Dr. Who and it did amaze-balls well, they made a spinoff called "Torchwood." It was woke AF, lead character was gay, did a bunch of "issues" episodes around gayness, polyamory, etc. It survived four seasons.

When it was canceled, it's viewership had fallen to the low 4 millions.

So let that sink in. Dr. Who - the main-line product - is now doing less well than a woke-ass *spinoff* that got canned after four seasons on sliding viewership.

Posted by: steevy at January 22, 2020 06:20 PM (KNsKs)

448 But SJWs are terrible fans who do not support franchises.

And you can't just watch a boring, terrible show out of nothing but Political Spite forever.

So they have, predictably, checked out. As they always do.


The reason for this actually, is not that SJWs cease doing things out of political spite, it's that have such a vast logjam of virtue-signals to emit that they have to prioritize and have a triage system for how to spend their spite-filled hours.

In the Old Days, there was a buffet of mainstream normal culture to choose from, and then one or two weird outlier "alt" counter-culture choices. So if you were a proto-SJW in that era, you choices for spiteful thumb-your-nose-at-the-squares time-spendage were very limited as thus very clear.

But in the modern era there entire cultural landscape has been flipped, and now there are countless SJW "alt" (not really anymore) cultural choices, and you must decide which of the man you grace with your time.

So, it's not like the SJWs have given up on Batwoman and gone back to watching something actually good and enjoyable - no, they gave up on Batwoman because they deemed it was more important to spite-watch some other leftist piece of garbage -- which they will then in turn quickly abandon for the next one, ad infinitum.

They's all still spite-watching all evening long, but the market is oversaturated with spite-choices.

It isn't like any Republican president in recent history and moved the ball to the right. The Democrat presidents ran left and the Republicans sauntered left at a leisurely pace.

Trump was a gamble. It turned out fairly well. He isn't really conservative on things like entitlements or spending (and these are of course major problems), but then neither was Bush 43 (or 41, for that matter).

The argument that the group that became the NTers was making didn't even really apply - most of the field were more of the same and Trump was the wild card.

Choosing "wild card" in that particular field and against the opposing Democrat field was a very easy choice.

465 There was a real great episode of always sunny last season where the gang gets chosen to preview and review Thundergun 4. Being woke, the franchise decides to introduce a strong female character and surprisingly, it's Dee who hates the character nost because she's basically jealous of her. Dee liked it better when John TG had meaningless sex with the women and then they invariably get killed (like old bond movies). This allows herself to fantasize about hooking up with the hero. Bed 'em and dead 'em she says.

In several episodes later in the series, Gently confronts the Bad Racists, and then the Evil Nuclear Power industry, and then (a long-running theme) Horrible Sexism on the part of his male colleagues. I gave up after enduring too many of these themes.

Same thing happened to Foyle's War -- after WWII ended and they had a new series set in the Cold War, nearly every episode suddenly was about the moral equivalence between the West and the Soviets. "We're just as bad as they are" because the main message of the new series.

503 To me, this morning's discussion of LOTR is a sharp contrast to the West's cultural crisis. Korean dramas are so wholesome they make Hallmark look like the Playboy channel. T Series routinely blows up YouTube. And Japan's presence in nerd culture has been significant for years. It's not that the world has forgotten how to entertain white people. It's that the West in general and Hollywood specifically are controlled by people who -hate- normal Westerners so much that it has made them retarded. Even if I was a Hollywood executive, I would have DB Weiss executed for destroying the value of GoT for me. They'll even betray their superwoke fans for the crime of liking their shit.

He is an unsettling-looking man and he did the part very well. He bowed out early (announced it before he even started that The Doctor was not going to be his career).

Jen Rubin retweeted it. I'm not kidding, I'm not trying to pick on her today, she's just being that idiotic

So many great programs from the BBC such as"Masterpiece Theatre" and "Mystery".

and yet they seem to think a proper use of their time is showing us marathons of the well-known british sitcom "star trek: the next generation".

I read this when they first posted it on Twitter. Women over the age of 50 posting selfies comparing themselves to KellyAnne and wanting compliments. I had to get off of the Twitter thread as it was disgusting what they were saying.

This morning I clicked on this article and LMAO.
The side by side of her and KellyAnne is priceless and the no makeup eyeliner... hahaha.

539 Doctor Who found a competent replacement. The actress playing the role is actually good if I'm being honest. The writing stayed the same woke nonsense that ruined the previous doctor's run. Terrible, hamfisted politics and inane stories.

Batwoman was always a lesbian in the comics. In the hands of good writers, she is actually interesting. A former soldier, uses guns, isn't addicted to the Batman ethos. She was her own person and had some natural friction with Batman despite wearing his logo. I have most of her new 52 run. But then there is the bad side of the writing, where her being gay is a form of a personality. Where she is not capable of healthy relationships as evidenced by her behavior but she has to get gay married because PROGRESS.

Guess which Batwoman the CW chose to write?

542 Cut my teeth on Brit TV with "Are You Being Served?". From there, I got into "Blackadder", "Red Dwarf", "Monty Python's Flying Circus", "The Thin Blue Line", "The Young Ones" and more. Cheap sets and production value, but some good comedic writing.

544 You know the problem is this with the SJW woke shit.

When you craft a story around that stuff, you have to tie yourself in ever more convoluted notes to keep things straight. And you spend a lot of time having to explain things to the squares. And a lot of time running up the score "let's have the lesbian's kiss. Again but more romantically. Okay, again in the shower..."

The whole thing clogs up the narrative to such an extent that the whole mess just caves in on itself.

And it is so tempting to do this. I mean, if you can't craft a good story, why not craft one that scores you social points? then you can pretend that people not liking it are bigots and what not.

545 Anyone notice something about star trek? Almost every series, almost show, is now about how the Federation is the *real* villain.

It used to be a thing where there was once in a while bad apple deal. But now it is every show, all the time.

And seriously, no one wants the villain to be the federation. The idea betray the hopeful, optimistic view of the future. It becomes...no long start trek.

550 In 20 years what will this Era of woke media look like?

Honestly I would bet it ends up being picked apart for its "problematic pandering". Ala, guess who is coming to dinner and holiday Inn.

Look they made these people too Mary Sue and likeability because bigotry in fans and their own subconscious bigitrt made them!

We aren't dealing with deep thinkers here.

551 As a comic book fanboi, I gotta speak up a little. Batwoman started out with tremendous promise. Ruby Rose was pretty good, the guy playing Luke Fox was really good, and Rachel Skarsten is amazing. The other supporting cast is good, too.

But that last episode... yeah, way off the rails. Totally lost it. The twist with Rachel Skarsten now apparently playing two roles has tremendous potential. But her "outing" herself? She's supposed to be a mysterious figure of the night; why the hell should she be open about that aspect of her personal life while keeping the rest secret? She's "no comment" about everything else.
Now, if you wanna see a show that was killed by the SJWs, look at "Supergirl." They had a male interested in her; they got rid of him. They hooked her up with another male; they wrote him out, too. They made her sister a lesbian. They brought in a character who has a romantic history with her in the comics (Brainiac 5), then promptly hooked him up with a tranny. About the only things they got going for them right now are Melissa Benoist's charm and Jon Cryer's phenomenal Lex Luthor (who the hell would have thought he had it in him? After Pretty In Pink, Hot Shots, and 2 1/2 Men, he's a hell of a phenomenal bad guy!).
I can't argue with a lot of the criticism of Legends of Tomorrow, but it hooks you. At least once an episode, they have a what has become known as a "why the fuck not?" moment that is so batshit insane YET consistent with the characters and storylines that it just sucks you in.

552 They could save Batwomen easy.

Woke lesbians are a turnoff to be sure, but steamy lesbian sex scenes could pull the audience back, and even get a lot of new fans. If they want to have a lot of woke rants they just have to do it while she shows her bravery going topless.

554 SJWs aren't fans of the shows themselves as much as they are fans of the anger/sadness that comes from long-time fans of the franchise as it is turned into woke propaganda. So once the actual fans have moved on and don't care anymore, and all that remains is a mediocre(at best) TV show, the SJWs have to move elsewhere to get their fix. Once the pleasure of taking something that someone enjoys away from them fades they have to find new treasured properties to withhold.
