it also baffles me to see several different people in the notes, when trying to explain why they are voting for martha instead of thirteen, inadvertently mention some variation of “well thirteen was badly written” as if that somehow makes character-directed misogyny more understandable or justified. blaming bad writing on the female character is literally the oldest trick in the book! it’s just disheartening to see even the people in this tournament repeat the rhetoric that thirteen’s era was somehow Uniquely Bad; martha had to suffer through a lot of racist writing and I still love her, just as I find thirteen a compelling incarnation of the doctor even if I am not a big fan of the material she was given you can vote for whoever you want, you don’t have to re-participate in fandom misogyny to do so
