'Doctor Who' actress tells fans to get over show's extreme woke content because it's 'pure and beautiful'

The Blaze: Actress Millie Gibson praised the woke narratives of the "Doctor Who" franchise and said fans need to simply ignore the overt LGBT tones and watch the show.


Gibson, whose real name is Amelia Eve Gibson, said in a recent interview that she was not concerned with how woke the show was, despite hordes of backlash and criticism over its extremely sexual and liberal storylines.


Last year, the show pushed rampant progressive politics right from the onset of its reboot, ushering in actor Ncuti Gatwa as their new "queer black" lead. Writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies also expressed that he had looked at other "nonbinary" actors for lead roles.


After The Standard's Martin Robinson framed the series as a critique of society that fights fascistic thinking, he asked Gibson about fan reactions to the show's strange direction that has included a drag queen and gay dance scenes.


"I'd just watch the show for what it is," Gibson said, excusing the content as nonpolitical. "I remember watching an episode where David Tennant goes back — I think it's with Martha — and they meet Shakespeare. And he's like, 'Oh yeah, Shakespeare's quite hot.' [This is] literally what Who does."


Gibson further excused the stories as "the way the world is" and said critics have been "making jabs" anywhere they could over the content.


"The show is so pure and beautiful and is literally about two best friends traveling the universe, so just watch it and get over it somewhat!" the 20-year-old requested.


The young actress then praised the aforementioned drag queen, "Jinkx Monsoon," and referred to the male entertainer as a woman.


"I'm her biggest fan. I don't think it's a problem at all."


Gibson's suggestion for fans to remain blissfully unaware of the show's politics strays from the methods her co-star has implemented to deal with the show's record-low ratings.


After critics took issue with dialogue from Gatwa's character like, "I spent a long, hot summer with Harry Houdini," the actor told the audience not to watch if they were not in support of "queer rights."
