4. The Hater
Also known as 'the Complainer'. These are the ones who claim to unequivocally
hate Doctor Who with every fibre of their being, but guess what? They're
still there every Saturday night watching it along with the rest of us! A hater can be particularly difficult to deal with. They'll inundate message boards with abuse and project their own feelings of self loathing onto the show itself. For whatever reason, they're harbouring a lot of suppressed anger and they've chosen Doctor Who as their vehicle to express it. With a hater, it's not just that they detest the programme and everything it stands for, but they just as equally detest every single person who likes it, too. They're kind of like the Daleks in that way. As such, they'll dedicate their lives to bringing the show and its fandom down and vow to spam every related comment board, forum and tweet with an outpouring of hate and abuse. Usually it's aimed at Steven Moffat (or the current showrunner at that time) who they claim has killed their favourite site. A hater is the next step up from the aforementioned bitter fan because Doctor Who is no longer just a simple irritant, it now makes their blood boil. Seriously, though, for someone who hates Doctor Who so much, they don't half go on about it. Why don't they just turn it off if if's bothering them so much? It's one of life's greatest mysteries.
