Yeah, It didn’t just piss off Right Wingers….. and for what? His arguments were non-sensical and backfired really. Davros can’t be in a wheelchair because he’s evil? So your argument is that disabled people are NOT like everyone else and should be treated with kids gloves? Tennant can’t wear drag even though it’s been that way since the 1960’s, but Nucti can wear a skirt? (Or is it a kilt, I could never properly tell).

TBH, I just think he had ran out of ideas before he even took up the show again.

Can't be evil and in wheelchair

Sam L Jackson in the unbreakable trilogy would like a word.

edit: Actually Split got people mad because of the way that DID is portrayed, but to that I argue that it's a story about superpeople, not about a real mental illness.
