They're screenshots from roles which featured on-screen nudity, which they consented to in the first place, the like of The Scum and The Fail Online are just basically reprinting them to go "hey, look, boobs are apparently news"...
Jodie Whittaker is the 13th Doctor
- Thread starter Emperor-Tiberius
- Start date
Yeah, that was a bit presumptuous on my part, I should've said it might've contributed but I made it sound like that was the only reason people were throwing Colman in the pot. I should familiarize myself with some of her work. The quirky factor you mention is one of my questions with Whittaker.
And certain types of fans still, to this day, make 'first woman captain and she gets the ship lost' jokes about Voyager, or 'they let Troi drive and she crashed the ship' jokes and with Discovery they are complaining about SJWs and feminists ruining "cuck" Trek.
Just a idea but what if they made no statements at all why they chose who they chose beyond the basic, we like her acting skills and so forth. People don't always need to explain their choices. If at some point you do need to talk about the character simply talk about what the character is going to bring to the show from a artistic point of view. Leave all the political backlash to the people yelling at each other on the internet and try and stay above it.

That's based on another character's perception of the Doctor, nothing to do with the Doctor's behaviour, etc.
That's what I meant. In fact if anything, I'd say the Doctor more closely resembles modern interpretations of Wonder Woman (avoiding fighting at all costs, trying to get others to do the same, seeing the best in humanity) than the likes of Captain America of Thor (don't necessarily go in swinging, but are trained as soldiers and will generally solve things physically).
If they consented I guess their is not much that can be done other boycott anything that runs those pics. Well that or protest their places of business. I wonder if you can nail them for making any money off those photo's. If someone tried to run a movie on youtube for example and they didn't have the rights they would be shut down. Not sure how screenshots are seen by the law.

Alot of people do boycott them, but they're still among the best sellers
I'm guessing under a fair use review policy. Technically even just saying "phwaor, hasn't she got nice tits", that counts as a review...
It probably comes under fair use. If you're writing a review of a movie and use a screen grab for illustrative purposes, the studios are unlikely to unleash their lawyers, especially if you have a disclaimer recognising that the image is the property of the studio and is copyrighted.
I think the thing I'm finding annoying right now is all the people who think the term SJW is something to beat people over the head with. All it actually does is make the person using it look a little silly.
Help me out here. How does saying that someone is in favour of treating all people equally and with common decency work as an insult? I've never been able to work that one out.
SJW usually refers to more extremist parts.
Still not an insult though. I'm extremely in favour of social justice. Pointing that out in no way insults me!
Perhaps at one time it was but now it seems like PC,SJW and Snowflake are all the supposed pejorative of choice for the thinking-impaired.
Social Justice Warrior just sounds like a fucking awesome superhero(ine).
"Oh, you're a misogynist? *pow*"
"Hey, stop racially abusing those kids! *krak*"
"C'mon, pal - Naziism? *twunt*"
"Don't call white folk honkies, we're all the same species... yes, I know there's a Senator pushing a Mutant Powers Act... *kerfuffle*"

"Some people just hate change"
Then, again, they should have left with Hartnell. Who the Doctor is has changed THIRTEEN FUCKING TIMES. Looks, personality, wardrobe, age, height, body mass, sanity level, everything about the Doctor has ALWAYS changed.
No, it's not JUST change they hate, it's a very specific change relating solely to gender. And that has a name.
Oh, and being opposed to change just because it's change? That's not being conservative. That's cowardice.

The French news site Le Monde has a nice opinion piece supporting a female doctor:
http://seriestv.blog.lemonde.fr/2017/07/18/edito-pourquoi-doctor-who-doit-etre-une-femme
Basically, the article gives 5 arguments for having a female doctor:
1) For the series itself
Doctor Who is fundamentally about change so having a female doctor fits the DNA of the show.
2) To go with the times
In 2017, we now have male and female heroes so keeping the doctor a male hero would be anachronistic at this point.
3) To go beyond traditional male and female gender stereotypes.
Having a female doctor that might sometimes act in masculine ways will get people thinking about gender stereotypes and how a lot of them are merely cultural.
4) To combat mysogeny
Why not a female doctor? Mysogeny in geek culture should be denounced. Men should not be afraid of a female hero.
5) For the courage of changing
Fans are not guardians of some sacred orthodoxy. True courage is being able to accept change.
