I’m so curious! Everyone seems to be blocked from whatever it is!
It was my first experience with them and they could have been exactly that if Capaldi’s acting didn’t sell them.
Most of the hate dissipated over the course of his first two seasons but didn’t completely die until halfway through Jodie’s first season.
I very clearly remember a couple YouTubers shitting on the return of the Mondasian Cybermen and calling them pathetic nostalgia bait.
The first couple episodes of the season were pretty explicit about the themes too!
I just watched people whose opinions I respected not understand the explicitly stated ideas.
It made me realize how much I was relying on others to think for me.
This was me as a young teen. I learned to think about these things for myself when a ton of YT channels were hating on Peter Capaldi playing The Doctor in Doctor Who.
I loved him from his first episode and saw the themes of the season which went straight over the heads of the YT Commentators.
