10 Things You Should Probably Hate About Doctor Who

8. The Crazy Fandom

Yup. They're crazy and proud of it! If you've ever been fortunate/unfortunate (delete as applicable) enough to meet a Doctor Who fan first hand, you'll know that they don't just watch the ongoing liaisons of their favourite Time Lord. Of course they don't. Simply watching each episode and taking it for what it is (which is a TV show, by the way, if the lines between fact and fiction are becoming blurred...) would be just plain daft, of course, so they live, dream and breathe it instead. In fact, their obsession can make it particularly difficult for them to maintain any sort of 'normal life' away from their all encompassing admiration for a certain man man in a box, but that's OK because it's a widely cited fact within the show's community that a world without the Doctor wouldn't be a world worth living in anyway. Seriously. They're that obsessed. There are different types of Doctor Who fans, of course, and further varying levels of obsession within that, but, generally speaking, all of them would go out of their way to defend their beloved hero until the end of time itself... and then some. God help you if you ever p**s one off or get caught up in a community crossfire. The Twitter ones are the worst. Any outbreak of Whovian warfare is guaranteed to be one of the most violent, deadly and fasting spreading forms of fandom fracas you're every likely to come across. They're just so damned passionate, which makes them so damned crazy in equal measure. And just don't even mention a female Doctor, unless you're harbouring an untimely death wish. You have been warned.
