Doctor Who Fandom

My best friend called me the other night. He said "Man, are you crazy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life. She said "Boy, you're lazy."
Give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

Doctor Who fandom has been scientifically proven time and again to be extremely annoying. And wrong. And gay.

Stop enjoying things

Fan-made forums, /who/, DW websites and tumblr accounts about Doctor Who reveal no consensus of opinion on any aspect of the show other than the fact that it's currently being ruined by any number of influences both outside the product or from deep within.

Some fans still enjoy the show and have hope for the future. Fortunately there are plenty of true fans out there willing to expend great energy to prove that these people are idiotic for enjoying Doctor Who in any way, shape or form.


The great hatred of Doctor Who that all true fans share is what fuels their obsessive marathon viewing of every episode left available, not to mention their reading of books, audio consumption and DW-related shitposting on 4chan and other websites.

How to deal with fandom

  1. Run.
  2. Hide.
  3. Realize the show is shit (and I say that as a fan) and join it.
