[uk-pol] Sort of. So the queen has covid and people are like lawl 9 would totally shoot the queen go 9


๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and I'm like firstly

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
can we stop wishing death on people? Please?

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
like yes what she represents is problematic but at the same time she's a person and a life is a life. She's also not taking lives or anything like that

Flash Bastard
Also, uh, no he wouldn't? From what I remember of that run of episodes, anyway.

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and secondly 9 wouldn't shoot the queen. He didn't kill a dalek and he sure as hell wouldn't kill a human

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
like someone might die tangentially

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
but this is all based around the idea of Eccleston calling the queen a parasite

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and such like

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
which is one thing

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and I don't know him enough to say that I doubt he actually wishes her dead but

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
please

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
can we not make death and covid a joke just because it's someone we don't like???

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
how many of these people even go there?

papermint tiger
...9 is the last fucking Doctor who would kill anyone

papermint tiger
Literally any other Doctor would be more likely to, for a variety of reasons

papermint tiger
But 9????? Wtf, never

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
yeahhhh

papermint tiger
Just because he looks like an edgy punk... Sheesh

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
yeah

papermint tiger
Also best of wishes to her Majesty, I honestly hope she pulls through

papermint tiger
She's a pretty awesome person imo

๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
/nod! I don't know enough one way or the other but I hope she pulls through too

Cerise โข
Auggggh. Why must people be like this.

Cerise โข
Like, I have heard both sides of why people do and don't like royals. Fine. This has literally been an issue for centuries. But that is not a place to wish sickness and death on anyone over it!

Cerise โข
Never mind on someone's elderly widowed granny.

Cerise โข
And yeah, on a character level that's just plain 'what'. (Now I feel like I need to go rewatch The Empty Child.)

Cerise โข
Anyway, yes.


Tanarian
Cerise โข
: I like how you said it.

Cerise โข
Tanarian
: Hehe, thank you. I always worry about phrasing these issues badly because it's such a big subject, but ... well, yeah.

Tanarian
Cerise โข
: I hang out with Welsh Nationalists who are utterly fed up with anything English imposed on them, and forget that even as privileged as they are, the Royal Family are as trapped by English expectations as any of the Celts.

Cerise โข
Oof, yeah, I can imagine that; I live in Wales myself (British mutt, more Welsh than anything else but vague handwave?) so I know the sort of attitudes.

Cerise โข
I can respect wanting less England to happen in Wales, the historical beef comes from legit places. But there are so many levels of history and complication that I just tend to say I know where my limits are and don't get into it...
