Too bad RTD's entire filmography is crazy biphobic. Man don't give a fck about bi representation.

while i have only actually watched doctor who and casanova and this video essay i feel kind of pretty safe dying on the hill that he does care a lot about queer rep (bi rep included) he's just, like.. unhinged about it. refuses to make it palatable. i think it's fair to say that the rep he makes doesn't resonate with every bi person or can perpetuate biphobic stereotypes but i think it's also fair to say that he did a lot for pioneering it in the first place. i never watched torchwood but if every main character's kissing a guy and a girl on screen there then like, i do think this is something that matters to him

#(the video essay was made by a bi trans woman and she talks a lot about rtd making queer rep encompassing lived experiences rather than #making it appeal to everyone.#this is why i make the assumption casanova is evil bi rep rather than a straight character. this is just how rtd writes queerness)#im not a rtd stan i think casanova has. many problems. i think his doctor who also has. many problems. even if i love it a lot #and i am not bi! i cannot speak on this topic wholly! but i am queer and i do know that his work is important #to lots of other ppl in the (bi) community. for being so messy and full of humanity and also for being the first of its kind #and i cant knock against that. and i can certainly appreciate someone like him fuckin..#going for disney's throat for making such shallow easy-to-miss rep in loki and patting themselves on the back for it
