Lucius what the hell do you know? You ARE a white straight man. I'm female so one below you in your twisted fantasy yet I don't need a female character to hold them as a role model. That attitude doesn't HELP stop the abuse that you are planting in a kids head from day one. Why tell children that any difference they might have that they can't help personally should be seen as a difference to other people? The whole point of the Doctor is he's an ALIEN so not like me or you or anyone else and he teaches not to judge a book by the cover (well... Sometimes, he can go a bit Captain Kirk on us at times) isn't THAT what you want ALL kids and ADULTS to take away from the show?


Anyway on your second point yes she probably should know better and yes she should know her main audience will be children, though to be honest her career in recent years has moved away from that because she was a child doing those shows and now she's a young adult. You can't hold them to stupidly high standards! Normal everyday people KNOW they should be doing something better with their life, they know better than to get drunk and do stupid things but they do it anyway. Why can't Miley have a normal life? Because she's famous? Well that isn't really fair is it? Yeah she's attention seeking and doing stupid stuff for newspaper inches but that is what she chooses to do. People looked up to her character really not Miley and that is my point! People should find real life people to have as role models, they should look up to people who do great things for charity or just in general. John Cena might be a terrible wrestler in my opinion but the work he does for kids is worth him being a role model. Being on a kiddie TV show isn't something to make them a role model.

Even then when Cena messes up it doesn't take away greatly from the achievements he's made and people can still look up to him because for every wrong he does he tends to do five more right things. Ian Somerhalder is another current star who does a lot of charity work, Sean Austin does Run3 (or something like that) which are marathons for charities. You could look at many celebs, REAL PEOPLE not their characters and find a reason to look up to them. The work Sir Terry is doing for Alzheimer for instance.

The point is don't hold celebs up to stupidly high standards as they are human too. If a celeb wants to be a role model or just to inspire people that is what they'll do!
