ETA: I didn’t mean the post by @Pardel-Lux above mine. I was talking about my own post that I accidentally posted here instead of where it belonged. 🤦‍♂️ ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > Given the comments about sleepy Joe and Trump falling asleep in the court room, it seemed to me that lack of energy was an effective insult independent of gender. And completely ineffective against either of those two at turning votes around or getting anyone out of office. In the Doctor Who episode, she was out practically overnight. > [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > As for it being the worst and most sexist thing the Doctor has ever done I specifically wrote “tactic,” as in an action used against an enemy (or just someone he was mad at). Of course, I don’t have every episode at my fingertips, so it may not be “the most” sexist tactic he used against an enemy. My own reaction when I saw it was severe disappointment in the writers, at the end of what I thought was a very good episode. I thought she (the character) was very wrong, but then attack her for what she did, not for how she looks. ---

I thought she (the character) was very wrong, but then attack her for what she did, not for how she looks. He wasn’t attacking her for how she looks. He was making use of an admittedly unfair but common prejudice to bring her down _because_ of what she did. Full disclosure: when I saw the episode, my impression was that we (the audience) were allowed to merely infer that the sinking of her political fortunes was to be an inevitable outcome of Dr. Who’s comment. I don’t know if that’s a result of my not paying sufficient attention, or whether there was an edit for BBCAmerica. ---

Given certain revelations from a particular type of film star, I’d think “America-hating fuck-twig” would be the moniker. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > He wasn’t attacking her for how she looks. He was making use of an admittedly unfair but common prejudice to bring her down _because_ of what she did. To either go off on a tangent or merely make your point explicit, I thought the whole gag was that _he wasn’t even doing that_: that he told her he could bring her down with six words, and then showily strode over to utter that sentence (a) in front of her, but (b) to someone just out of her earshot — figuring, correctly, that it wouldn’t get repeated to her, and that she’d only _then_ tire herself out trying to get someone to repeat it to her. ---

Mildly amusing but doxxing is not cool. ---

Yeah, that was my thought, too. Ngo is reprehesible and while I know nothing about “The Post Millennial” I magine it is similar. But any doxxing is bad. ---

Doxxing is like punching - it’s usually bad, but not always. Some people deserve to be doxxed. ---

I can’t agree with that. Doxxing, apparently, puts people in the sights of some dangerous people. And nobody deserves to be the victim of any kind of assault. ---

Not quite nobody. Doxxing can be the only remedy when the anonymity of the internet is weaponized. ---
