Hes just scottish.
I would love her if she wasn’t a hugenisist and it ruined her character because she would have been a victim and she still is so I feel like it shouldn’t have been there
the fact that your audio cut out at the end for me when you were preaching the gospel of capaldi being hotter then smith just proves that it is a true thing that mainstream media will do anything to cover up /hj but fr tho capaldi is hotter
Also, Eldrad.
The eleventh doctor is also verryyy autistic Its like the older the doctor gets the more autistic he gets
This video has me convinced that the reason why I hated Clara as the 12th Doctor's companion is because she reminds me so much of how most people behave around me whenever I show the real me. I'm not diagnosed with autism, and I'm not sure I ever will be due to financial reasons, but I very much can relate to many autistic coded characters like the 12th Doctor.
I wouldn't say I laugh at doctor because he's strange. His strangeness is the part of what makes me like him. 9th bluntness, was the force that helped me regain self-respect, and learn not to care about people's opinions when I got bullied in junior school.
I am not autistic, however I am neurodivergent, ADHD* to be specific. I am here because I am obsessed* with the doctor, and got the gut feeling that the Doctor is neurodivergent, and I feel that your perspective might be interesting. *(Not my opinion, my psychiatrist's, and still am not comfortable with using the term "hyperfixated")
whatever you say beautiful
tbh Claras freaking out didnt read as "the doctor isnt hot anymore" read more as "I just watched the doctor die of old age and now hes regenerated into someone old, how much time will he have?" until just this moment right now.
I'm 5 months late to the party, but if you are still reading comments I would love to hear how this analysis works when you factor in the scene where Amy tries to force herself on the Doctor. I feel like this directly goes against your reading of Amy's love for the doctor being something that does not get in the way of her love for Rory. If the answer is that Amy is poly I could totally get behind that (however would then put some very questionable representation and polticis of polyamory into Doctor Who as the show partially does push the idea that Amy has to choose ONE partner (in Angels Take Manhatten) even after a period of a polycule.). Amy's advances on the Doctor undeniably to me demonstrate that Rory's insecurities were NOT unfounded, and that Amy, in fact, had not made up her mind of who she would rather "be" with, even the night before her wedding. If the 11th doctor was not as Aro-Ace as he is presented, I wonder what could have ended up happening between them (ala Rose and 10 "cucking" Mickey). Also I do wish you had talked more about the (IMHO quite explicit) emotional and physical abuse Amy does to Rory throughout her time on the show, while I think some of this is fairly explained away as Amy being emotionally unaware, I think some of it crosses the line of what is definitively unacceptable and morally wrong (yes morality is psychology is a can of worms). However, I was very enlightened by your analysis of Rory as a character who was also toxic to begin with, just more in the way of weaponized incompetence, passivity, and immaturity that is often cultural accepted for men to fall into putting the emotional burden on women to pick up the slack. As an AMAB who watched these seasons as a teen I unfortunately never picked up on this and only ever saw Rory as the victim. Also I would be curious to know more about the Amy is autistic thing, because outside of her unawareness towards the minds of others and assuming that others just *know* how she feels (something I definitely have a habit of doing as an autist myself), I dont see anything more that would classify her as autistic. Thank you for the thought provoking content, have a nice day.
@@DuncanJMcMillan this is a really good point, honestly I don’t really have a straight answer. I think a lot of these inconsistencies and the fact that amy really does mistreat Rory in certain ways that go unchallenged is just a genuine example of bad writing and Moffat being Moffat. I think the show presented a queer narrative accidentally and didn’t quite know what to do with it, hence the inconsistencies. But I do think that we did end up with an equally accidental polyamorous coded relationship, between Amy Rory and the Doctor. I read *that* scene (which I hate and try to pretend never happened most of the time) as Amy’s impulsivity under the internal conflict she was going through. She was definitely attracted to the doctor, I’m not denying that, I just see their relationship as more “queerplatonic” and her relationship with Rory as more conventionally romantic. The show presents the solution to this as her choosing, on the surface, but as I think I said (idk this video is old I don’t really remember what I said tbh), in the end she ends up keeping both of them in her life and maintaining significant relationships with each of them. I also think *that* scene was an example of Steven Moffats boner getting in the way of his character writing though and was wholly unnecessary.
Clara absolutely DOSE count as an 11th doctor companion, now I can kinda see how 12 has autism but NOW YOU'VE MADE ME MAD (not really tho, that's you're opinion i guess)
12:59 Why does it seem like the word "trans" has been beeped out? There's nothing wrong with being trans
@@vocalsunleashed honestly no idea why I did that I don’t remember at all. I guess I thought it was funny when I was editing this video in a state of pure sleep deprivation lmao
I’m sending this video to everyone I want to know this part of me. Thank you for explaining so well. I’m also autistic with an unofficial NPD diagnosis (from a therapist who isn’t qualified to give actual diagnoses)
@@xx_epic.swag_xx glad I could help you feel seen, I made this video so long ago I kind of forgot about it! Glad it’s still resonating with people
Not the episode, but the Paul Jennings short story it was based on really scared me as a kid
@@thechameleons7868 forgot to mention that omg
I didn’t even remember that line
I love seeing fellow tisms on the internet :)
wait wait,, say more about carlos the scientist having npd
They're not gay. A man and women deeply in love are straight based on the dynamics that are presented in the show.
You didn't watch the video
@@Lokeydin7 pleeeease watch the vid before you comment!! And if you did and you didn’t understand I’d be happy to explain what I meant :)
Im no expert but i think these traits are completely unintentional when it comes to connection to autism etc. In-universe The Doctor is a complex being tightly connected to the time vortex. He experiences time all at once from what i gathered from the scattered clues. Also most of the times he is more quirky shortly after regeneration from which comes learning to control and cope with entirely new body. Also he often comes as a child, i mean he stole a "car" and ran away from home to explore the world
@@Vesp3r1987 oh yeah no I agree. I at no point meant to imply that I thought his autistic coding was intentional, coding can still be present while being a complete accident on the part of the writers.
I didn't expect this video be so serious🤣
I can smell this video
@@TheWizard33 what does it smell like king
Amazing video!!!! I love seeing queer analysis of Doctor who ❤️❤️❤️❤️
what a great little essay
Overall, Amy was one of my favorite companions while Rory was one of my least favorites. But for me, Rory got slowly better over time while Amy got worse. From a “queer theory” standpoint, I would say Amy was “bi”, she saw something attractive in the “normal” and also relished the bizarre.
I found you through your 12th doctor video and am now enjoying the rest of your content as a fellow queer (and trans) autistic doctor who fan :3
Never ceases to amaze me how people keep finding meanings I've completely missed. Literary analysis is what I crave from the community, and this is the best kind there is. Thank you.
@@AlexTheRacoon possible interpretations are literally infinite because the human experience is infinite! It’s wonderful
But they sell pork…
I'm trying to live in denial about being autistic TH-cam, stop it
"I'm impressed you paused to read this" yes I'm autistic as well don't mention it
Thank you for putting into words why I, a closeted queer teen love Amy so much
Imo I believe notch had antisemitic ideas for the villiger atleast in design however never went beyond that and now villagers aren't just anti Semitic archetype npc but well villagers. I do not think Minecraft is antisemitic and it's best to forget thag element of the past of the games creator and enjoy what the game has become. Also I think Villagers are more like Christian On account of their structures. Like the church structure Not being a synagogue or anything like that. ( sry if spelled wrong ) also witch's and totems of undying are more Christian like I believe.
@@ConfusedMoon-yd2bx you’re right there definitely is elements of Christian culture mixed in, witches are more of a Jewish thing historically though because Jews have been associated a lot with “dark magic” in order to villainise our practices. However witches aren’t an exclusively antisemitic idea or character archetype, I’d argue if it’s offensive to anyone it’d be actual pagans not Jews, and I don’t think the witch npcs were specifically designed with Jews in mind. I also agree that it shouldn’t get in the way of enjoying the game, it’s a very small part that can be criticised but there’s a lot more to be enjoyed aside from the few dubious elements. Also you spelled synagogue right, although unlike churches synagogues don’t really have any specific style of architecture since synagogue just means like, a gathering or a bunch of people together. They can really look like anything I know some that are just houses.
@@mercurialrose cool. Also I wonder what villagers were like pre human extinction in minecraft also a cool idea is that the player is a biomechanical golem.
I love how all the negative comments aren't putting holes in what you're saying they're just saying shit like "Ur bad and Jewish💔"
@@insertnamehere12 yeah that’ll be how it goes lolll
Girlie you've made a timebomb of fasco schizophrenics
arnold rimmer from red dwarf is a really good example of a character who's autistic traits are there solely to be laughed at 👍
oh hey a better mic quality
@@Snipbiit lolll my first doctor who video was recorded on my phones voice memos app in the spare bedroom of my grandmas house
i love this video
but are the endermen blacks?
Yuck. Look at you.
I find Sharaz Jek from The Caves of Androzani to be a strangely relatable allegory for gender dysphoria, even though that's almost certainly unintentional and I'm committing several war crimes by even feeling this way.
i cant tell whether this video is a joke or if the author actually has severe brain damage
When I hear that loving Doctor Who is a symptom of Autism, I think: maybe I am Autistic after all. But then I remember that I got tested Years ago and the test basically said "No, you are just weird, live with it."
