This morning, while watching the morning news, there was an unexpected confluence of what appeared to be independent themes. Disney for the past few days has been lambasted for going "woke". Basically, some consumers (viewers), as with the Bud Light fiasco, are abandoning watching Disney's "woke" content.
For whatever reason, Doctor Who also made the news this morning. Turns out that BBC (Doctor Who) made a deal with Disney for a collaborative effort that has now appeared on the Disney channel (The Star Beast). We watched it this morning. It was entertaining, but contained an overlay of "wokeness". (We only occasionally watch episodes of Doctor Who so we are not very knowledgeable about the series.) Below, is one of several articles that we also received today. Seems like Disney, to a degree, has subverted Doctor Who.

- The Doctor's pronouns are clarified in the 60th anniversary special; the character uses the definite article instead of traditional pronouns.
- The Doctor's gender identity is complex and can be described as nonbinary, genderfluid, or omnigender.
- The current Doctor is still perceived as a man by most characters but doesn't fit into traditional gender labels as a whole.
