Verilybitchie just released a new video on transness in Doctor Who, their videos are always great, and their last video on doctor who (about feminism in doctor who) was also really good, highly reccomend giving both a watch

I loved this video! verilybitchie is one of my favorite video essayists, i think her analysis is always spot on. I really like their video on Commodifying Bi Validation and the one on how Good Representation is Boring, really interesting, insightful, and funny essays. Iāve been thinking about putting together a list of doctor who video essays I particularly like, and if i do iām sure itāll be at least 40% her stuff lol

oh i LOVED thisā¦ everything she said about the costuming were just about my thoughts exactly, costuming is SO important to characterization and really deserves a lot more consideration than i think it gets sometimes. also cheered when they brought up Jadzia Dax lol. since iāve been doing my first for-real watch of DS9 i think that Dax is almost exactly what a really well executed Genderful Doctor would be written likeā¦ somebody who continues to be the things they were while also being who they are now, without the two cancelling each other out, but still occasionally coming into conflict. Dax is 20-something year old woman but sheās still a āfatherā and āOld Manā. she makes me so happyā¦what a wonderful character
i REALLY loved her previous essay about RTD and bi rep, it gave me a new appreciation for the characterization in Nine/Tenās era. huge respect for people writing representation that isnāt āgood representationā, and i really love hearing about his commitment to writing about gay men in Queer as Folk that werenāt ārespectableā, and who fell into stereotypes the way real life people do all the time.
