    They’re not all upper class, Joey starts as a small background / ad actor, Rachel and Phoebe do small jobs like waitress and massages - Phoebe living in the street as a kid comes up a few times. (well, Rachel is born rich but she starts the series getting cut off and left with nothing - after she dumps her dad’s credit cards she had) An episode has Joey, Phoebe, Rachel point out that they’re poor and often out of a job so they complain that they aren’t nearly as loaded as Chandler, Ross, Monica, and they have a hard time keeping up with their lifestyle. Also confirming Chandler, Ross, Monica are indeed well off. Later, Joey gets a good acting role, Rachel has a good job, and Phoebe gets a good place at some point.

    When you show transphobia, racism, mysoginy, homophobia, fatphobia, etc. you are not disrespecting the one person, you are denigrating an entire section of humanity - you are associating the harm this one person caused you to this one trait that a lot of other unrelated people share. And that’s how it becomes a crutch for you to use against anyone you don’t like, and then at some point, that’s just what you are - racist, homophobic, mysoginist, etc. Even unconsciously, you start thinking that anyone who shares that trait risks doing the same things to you personally, that’s just how it happens.

    So no, you shouldn’t throw around the N word or the F word or berate someone’s gender because they are abusing you. Blame them for what they are doing to you, not for what they are. You don’t owe your abuser respect, but this isn’t disrespecting one person.








  • The 50th anniversary had Tom Baker make a cameo as a future incarnation straight up telling 11 that he might “revisit some old favorite (faces)”, then 12 subconsciously chose a face from someone he met in one of 10’s episodes, and then 14 took 10’s face again for a few episodes. So yes, they explicitly opened the gates for a previous actor of a different character to pick up the role (and even a former Doctor). I think there have also been some rumors coming and going about Jenna a couple times, ever since Clara pretended to be the Doctor in a couple of episodes.
