Sexual assault, such as [[rape]], exists in the DWU, sometimes even happening to our beloved companions. [[Dodo Chaplet]], in particular, is given an unfortunate life after the events of the tv show, and her wiki page reflects that. And where there are victims, there are assaulters. [[Oswald Danes]], for example, was sentenced to death for | Sexual assault, such as [[rape]], exists in the DWU, sometimes even happening to our beloved companions. [[Dodo Chaplet]], in particular, is given an unfortunate life after the events of the tv show, and her wiki page reflects that. And where there are victims, there are assaulters. [[Oswald Danes]], for example, was sentenced to death for such crimes against [[Susie Cabina|a young girl]]. A more extensive list of characters who fall victim to sexual assault can be found [[:Category:Sexual assault victims|here]], and a list of in-universe rapists can be found [[:Category:Rapists|here]]. | ||
Sexual assault also happens in the real world, and unfortunately Doctor Who has not escaped being connected with such events. [[Jimmy Savile]], who has a large history of sexual assault against children, featured in a [[A Fix with Sontarans (TV story)|mini episode]] that tied in with [[Jim'll Fix It|his own show]], albeit long before his crimes became public knowledge. | |||

While standards are slowly changing, bigotry and prejudice is still prominent in our society, and therefore is mentioned on this wiki, both in narrative context and when discussing real world people or events. | While standards are slowly changing, bigotry and prejudice is still prominent in our society, and therefore is mentioned on this wiki, both in narrative context and when discussing real world people or events. | ||
[[Racism]] is a subject matter of multiple stories in the DWU, and there are characters that are intentionally written as holding racist views, such as [[Krasko]], who tried to stop [[Rosa Parks]] from igniting the [[Civil Rights Movement]]. But not every depiction is done with an intentionally negative light. Doctor Who | [[Racism]] is a subject matter of multiple stories in the DWU, and there are characters that are intentionally written as holding racist views, such as [[Krasko]], who tried to stop [[Rosa Parks]] from igniting the [[Civil Rights Movement]]. But not every depiction is done with an intentionally negative light. ''Doctor Who'' has been around since 1963, and there are things that were considered less controversial in its beginnings but are now condemned. We absolutely could not talk about racism in ''Doctor Who'' without mentioning ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story)|The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]''. Not only does it feature negative Chinese stereotypes, but it also has a very prominent example of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrayal_of_East_Asians_in_American_film_and_theater yellowface] in [[Li H'sen Chang]]. | ||
Other forms of bigotry | Other forms of bigotry that may be mentioned on the wiki include, but are not limited to, [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], and transphobia. The mention of [[Vanessa (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|Vanessa]] in ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]'', for example, has generated controversy. As has the First Doctor's depiction in ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]''. | ||
[[:Category:Derogatory names and insults|Slurs]] are also occasionally used in the ''Doctor Who'' franchise, and therefore may be mentioned in relevant articles.

As with sexual assault, Doctor Who is no stranger to being connected to prejudice and bigotry of real world people. [[Gareth Roberts]], for example, was subject to controversy due to | As with sexual assault, ''Doctor Who'' is no stranger to being connected to prejudice and bigotry of real world people.

Some of the stories | Some of the stories we cover contain depictions or mentions of domestic violence. [[Fear Her (TV story)|''Fear Her'']] is one such story, with [[Chloe Webber]]'s [[Chloe Webber's father|father]] being the abuser in that case. | ||
