I figured as much. This was definitely RTD reading way too deep into things. It's been nearly 40 years since his first appearance and no one has ever uttered a peep about him being "offensive." This is just RTD seeing "offense" where none exist. "Society has moved on." Moved on from WHAT, Russell? Scary villains? The Cybermen are humans augmented with artificial limbs. Are they also offensive now? Perhaps we should do away with Sontarans because potato farmers feel targeted? I've been a hardcore DW fan since the early 90s, but I genuinely can't wait to see this dumpster fire crash and burn hard.

In his own words, times have changed. And one might also note that Rise of the Cybermen / Age of Steel, and Voyage of the Damned were penned by Graeme Harper and James Strong respectively. Perhaps he didn't think much of it to let them write what they had at the time, mm? But now he has returned after much thinking and has set more clear expectations for how they'll handle the matter of handicapped persons. And what part of "we made this change because we felt this depiction of an evil disabled person could be construed as unfair or unkind to the children in need whom we're dedicating an entire annual charity event to" shows that he harbors prejudice. What? Against them? Read and Rethink.

Whittaker has always been a bland actress who somehow got the role and has done everything she can to alienate fans.

He is making something up just so that he can seem impressive to the public and say, ": Look what I did!!!" While it is really dumb to say it is wrong for a villain to be in a wheelchair. Cause that is ridiculous. As you correctly stated. Davos was mechanically and genetically modified. Not at all disabled. RTD is depending on people to be dumb and just swallow something he is claiming when it is in fact incorrect, just to make himself look good. Least that is my opinion.

I wouldn't blame RTD alone for this cowardly pandering. This slippery slope has been building up since at least the 1970s when the episode "Robot" had a female character complaining about "male chauvinism" in response to man assuming she was an assistant. Terrance Dicks was self-admittedly under pressure from Feminists complaining about companions being damsels in distress so he added those lines, and Sara Jane Smith became an investigative journalist. Later, Moffat was being accused of misogyny in various articles and blogs and feminists. He added a bunch of lines of women complaining about "testosterone" and women calling men dumb and egotistical. It wasn't enough. Then Chibnall just made the Doctor, who is the most stereotypical White Male explorer and scientist archetype, (like Captain Cook combined with Isaac Newton, Saint Germain, Percy Fawcett) into a woman. Those who complained were dismissed as "incels/misogynists" Then Chibnall changed the origin of the Doctor to make it seem like his first form was a little girl and a female scientist harnessed her superpower. Total Mary Sue fantasy. Just disrespectful to the original actors and also creates too many story inconsistencies and plot holes, as many have pointed out. It was still not enough. The Overton Window just kept shifting. Now RTD is back and he has changed Davros so it doesn't offend disabled people. Notice a pattern? These are all White men but they're living under an alien culture so they're forced to adapt to it by signalling social support for it. Feminine culture. Women have different personality types on average compared to men, obviously. Women are much higher in "agreeableness/empathy". Meaning they are less likely to want to offend people (except when it's time to shit on men, apparently). With the rise of Feminism, female cultural influence has also transformed Western society into something it never was when it was male dominated in the past. One of the aspects of this increasingly feminized culture is that of extreme harm avoidance for perceived underdog groups. "Political correctness" if you will. Female instincts have shaped Western culture more than ever before since women've gained (a)historic power. The word "misogyny" was a description invented by men but as an insult/accusation, it has become more common under the Feminist era. As have all kinds of "ist" and "phobe" slurs, enough to get people fired and ostracized into submission. You can't have any banter/discussion on sensitive topics because we've been demoralized into not offending outgroups. You just get ostracized or censored. Example: CERN scientist fired for saying there are more male geniuses. Scientist told to apologize for offensive T Shirt. You know the rest. Point is - the slippery slope is real. We are living under an increasingly feminine cultural occupation and these are the results. Maybe you enjoy it, maybe you don't. It is most certainly not what I would call "Western culture". That was defined by men. This new one is defined by women and is quite alien to the society men built. A civilization that used to value truth telling against all odds - Socrates, Galileo, perhaps James Watson?

You were right Bowlestrek. When I first saw this Children's in need sketch, it bothered me because of Genises of the Daleks, a story that remained with me from childhood, I still remember anxiously waiting each week for the next episode of that story (it was so long, but great). I could of let it go......if it was pre Davros even though it doesn't match up. But then hearing Davies talk about Davros, he has completely lost me. And for this show to completely loose me, that's something. I never watched Chibnall era after the first few episodes, couldn't stand it, but I still held some hope for after that nightmare......even the timeless child thing didn't phase me because I consider everything Chibnall did as a spinoff parody........but this seems to be the end of my hope....../sigh

The only real way for the retcon of Davros to actually work would have been if the white and black guardian were to use the key to time to reset the temporal balance. That would thus retcon the episode of the timeless children episode and having Davros like this as a consequence of it. That would make the change work as the Doctor would have been aware of the change of the timeline.

If he's serious and intends to go the route where 'Davros' has _always_ been this black clad generic facist, he is never going to sell it as he is going up against nearly 40 years of established Davros stories that are NOT going to go away. The reasons Davros has been such an enduring villain, and iconic enough that even random people on the streets of Britain would know who he was, is largely down to the image, and the Concept. He is horrific. Half man half Dalek. Davies seems to be either winding people up here for his own amusement and the publicity, or he has developed a god-complex. But there is no way that he, or the BBC can whitewash this character and make people forget what he is/was. It's almost a rerun of Chris Chibnall's folly. Thinking you can rewrite the fiction, and the origins, and make decades of established canon and marketing suddenly disappear. The canon is bigger than any one Producer however.

RTD went about this the completely wrong way. Intentions and Ramifications do not always coincide with one another. His reaction to fans and disregarding their genuine queries and criticism is a joke. He has engineered an issue in which people only now see because he manufactured it. No one looked at Davros this way, and those that did only say that now to support their own narrative and defend this decision. Honestly, I’ve wanted to see this version of Davros for many years, but the reasoning behind it and his reaction to genuine questioning is appalling, egoistical and outright counterintuitive to what a show runner should be doing and how he should be presenting himself to fans who may actually want to watch the show after the massive decline in ratings. His idea of representation, as well as many other entertainment industries, is so inherently flawed that he is now under presenting a certain demographic in the face of trying to represent them in a certain way. There are good and bad of all walks of life. Actually counteract this ‘trope’ that now seems to exist, by adding morally good representation of disabled people, as opposed to actually, backwardly removing them from media because you feel your moral pedestal needs looking up to. His interview is so vague. It has created so many questions, yet if you don’t fully accept and agree with him, you are bigoted and deserve to be ignored. Maybe when Show-runners can distinguish actual, creative difference and difference of opinion, from bigotry, maybe we will get inspiring Entertainment for all fans, not just ‘certain fans’ who are actually sheep who just follow any decision they make. Russel, the British people fund this show, your job is to entertain, not make statements that have no real value to the narrative. You have completely accomplished the antithesis of your goal with this, and instead of explaining why, you disrespect fans. It’s shameful. If he didn’t want to create controversy, and didn’t want to exacerbate the trope of evil disabled people, why choose Davros for a children in need special? Not only is it an incredibly dark scene in the lore of the show, which is completely unfit for purpose for the Charity anyway, why would he choose Davros to deliver a children in need scene, if he wants to reduce bad representation? It’s so illogical and the logistics do not match up with what he wants to achieve, hence the massive confusion of so many fans at his decision. Why did he create the issue? Or at least feel the need to address it, in a charity clip where many young children are disabled? He is segregating and isolating them more than anyone else ever could, by trying to appear virtuous. He feels the need to protect a group of people from ending representation, for what reason? His reasoning is completely backward and makes no sense. Changing Davros for this purpose does not remove or reduce the representation of disabled people as Evil, him using that as his reasoning has done the exact opposite, and created a divide and isolated Disabled people as if they need to be a protected class from appearing a certain way. Mind-boggling decision.

I watched Genesis of the Daleks last night - albeit the truncated, omnibus version that I hadn't seen since December 1975. My first thought was 'how could RTD believe that his Children in Need pile of shite was in the same league as this?' Even cut down, and some of the cuts were obvious, it was light years ahead. It then occurred to me that Davros had been like that - looking a bit rough round the edges - for a very, very, very long time. I came away with the impression that he probably hadn't had an 'accident' at all and that his look was more to do with some kind of genetic debilitating disease or something. He didn't actually look 'radiation scarred' to me... just very old and having lost the use of his eyes, legs and one arm. The impression I got was that he had probably designed his 'mobile life-support unit' himself and had then designed the Daleks in his own image... that fits with his megalomania and ambition to be a 'god'. I'd even go so far as to suggest that he genetically engineered the Kaleds/Daleks to have one eye. I would agree that his backstory doesn't really need to be told, as with the Doctor the mystery is better... but I do think that RTD has totally, completely and disastrously misread it and got it all hopelessly wrong.

Great villains are fun and compelling ( not to mention fun to play for actors) when you say " we can't make villains x diverse category lest people associate that category with evil " what that effectively means is " villain roles are off limits to diverse people and villains can't be written as complex, flawed broken or interesting " I have Cerebral Palsy and I usually find villains more interesting than heroes because villains usually get the coolest costumes/aesthetics, the most epic powers and while the hero is usually weighed down with the burden of responsibility and restraint, the villain gets to be indulgant and have fun, not to mention that a well written villain is usually an iconoclast and rule breaker with a philosophical edge and a mastermind who's the smartest person in the room. Does Russell think we shouldn't be allowed to be that? Lol

People are latching on to his suggestion that disfigured and disabled villains is a trope. I have two counter arguments. First is that the majority of disfigured villains are disfigured BECAUSE of their own villainous act. Freddy Krueger, Darth Vader, Davros etc. It's like showing gang members with scars on their faces - the scars are a result of them being evil, not because they were born disfigured and that turned then crazy. As a writer hinself I am shocked that RTD doesn't understand this storytelling cause and effect. The second argument is that the crippled and disfigured trope is something that doesn't even happen nowadays. You could argue that Bela Lugosi as the hunchback in Son of Frankenstein back in the 1930s or The Phantom of the Opera, or even the Emperor from Return of the Jedi (before the prequels showed how it happened) are maybe examples of this but again, the story is connected to their disability. Its not just plucked out their ass that these people HAPPEN to be evil. Lugosi's hunchback and the Phantom of the Opera both showed characters shunned by the masses for their looks. This gave reason for why they were so bitter and resentful. But lets not forget that the masses who shunned them are the same brainless sheep who are seen as an angry mob in the films, so even back then it was balanced. The hunchback in Hunchback of Notre Dame and House of Dracula were both synpathetic characters so even back in the 1930s there was balance to the way they were shown. The only people who think thos is an ongoing real problem are academics and perpetual victims themselves. Look at the replies on X, where almost every defender of this change is self labeled as autistic, or having some sort of mental health conditon, with pronouns and flags in bios and the need to see the world as victins and oppressors. The rest of us, both able and disabled, see this nonsense for what it is.

I've never heard anyone associate being disabled with being evil (let alone a wheelchairs user) in my life. As we all know t Terry Nation based the Dalek's on the Nazis and racial purity was always one of their primary motivations, which Genesis showed was a trait inherited from the Khaleds superiority over the racially impure Thais and the mutants created during the nuclear war. The Khaled elite are literally modelled on the SS. RTD cast an asian actor as one of new Davros's staff (an impossibility given their racial purity). We all remember Chris Chibidiot sending his asian Master back to the SS as well. Out goes the SS allegory and the basis of dalek racial hate in the name of RTD's DIE agenda. Using RTD's BS, you also have to eliminate the Daleks as well. Genesis was written to include that the Dalek blob was the ultimate mutated form of the Khaleds and Eric Saward (and Moff) later showed Humans being converted into Daleks blogs. Surely these are the ultimate disabled and must be banned as well ? RTD hasn't exactly excelled himself telling fans who disagree with his DIE wheelchair ban to fuck-off either. I wasn't going to watch any RTD's new season as there was already enough evidence it was going to be more (but probably better written) of Chibnalls woke BS rather than Doctor Who. This just proves RTD, the BBC and Disney+ aren't making Doctor Who anymore. I wont watch at all. I'm done. RIP Doctor Who 1963 to 2016.

The Daleks were always a vested allusion to the Nazis. These days we're seeing more and more people like Bowlestrek himself, who is an outright neo-nazi. You should see some of his opinions on Jewish people! Anyways, I rather think Russell is just focusing the lens... Not all white men are bad. Far from it, come off! I'm white, you are likely white, Russell T. Davis is white, David Tennant is white. But you knew who were perhaps the whitest? The Nazis. For those wheelchair bound people who appreciated his representation, sorry to say it can be construed as iffy - and the era already has at least one wheelchair bound person on the side of the Doctor. That is unless you're not really so concerned with the representation itself... But for those like Bowlestrek, and perhaps you reading, this is a great opportunity to see more of yourself in one of Doctor Who's greatest villains! Yes, this will *all* be Stooky Bill TV!
