What exactly has to end? The existence of drag performers?
Bro, I did not mean it this way. Drag shows can still go on, but I do not want this stuff to get into my favorite television series. Politics should stay out of Doctor Who. It is okay to have ethnic diversity, and male or female roles, but imagine having to explain to a young Doctor Who fan what the meaning of "they/them" is. Man, take me back to 2014, where this pronoun stuff was not talked about as much.

Also, so you know that I am bi, I do find guys attractive, especially Asian guys, but I will remain celibate unless married to a wife. :)

I don't care about doctor who, and neither do I care about your sexual preferences. I just wanted to know what you mean with your statement.

That does not strike me as a particularly difficult discussion. Certainly not as difficult as soothing their fears after seeing the weeping angels episodes.

My statement is that we must be careful of having regular television shows depicting drag performers to kids, as kid's brains are not developed enough to understand the gravity of transgenderism and gender changes. Once the children turn 16 or 18, then shows can depict trans stuff (rated 16+ or R, or however the rating system works in Germany).

Okay. And what does that have to do with this defamation case?

Yeah, the weeping angels creeped me out. These angels first debuted in 2007. I was 13, in 2012-2013, when watching Doctor Who for the first time, and the alien angels were kinda scary.

Weeping Angels, for those who do not get the reference: https://www.doctorwho.tv/characters/weeping-angels

Same exact thing was said when gay characters started being included as something other than objects of mockery in shows.

Not much, which I am sorry for, but the trans movement has gone a little far, compared to a decade ago, where things were much more tame.

That is true, and I see your point. But at least gay folks do not change gender. As a bi guy, I wear clothes traditionally for guys, and do not want to cut my plantain off (XY chromosomes here), as that goes against the natural order, especially against my faith, and I do not feel any inclination to change gender.

Good. It’s not ok to lie about other people.
Agreed 100%. The far-right blogger needs to get some jail time also. Any "far" prefix before a political party affiliation means that we must avoid them.

Keep drag in gay bars and other private areas. I personally wouldn’t attend, but don’t care at all what people do in their free time.
Yeah, we should keep the drag in private areas, not to be aired on public TV. I would not attend either.

Interesting you mention that because there is a lot of gay men that don’t find Asian men attractive..,.but we are getting off topic.
