Well, without the files I’m going to assume worst case. Normal prostitution doesn’t need to go to a remote island that also has sex trafficked children.

The point is that, despite being in the same bill, they shouldn’t be. One is already covered in existing law, related to adult exclusive activities recognized as such the world over (porn for clarity). The other is defining a new phenomenon that has yet to be defined as being exclusive to adults and currently exists within spaces for children to the point of predation and is akin to existing child targeted products (loot boxes again for clarity).

Lumping even seemingly similar things is a bad practice that is more meant to poison pill bills (among other things) than actually execute legislative duties.

Would you recognize if someone made a block diagram of your brain?

A lesser point: the writing is pretty bad even by who standards. Trying too hard to check inclusion boxes when they would be nailing it with a little less effort. A random line in Gatwas second season about it being illegal for nurses to not know sign language, despite the presence of universal translation, was a hamfisted attempt to force inclusivity. Good impulse, heinously bad execution.

A larger thing that stood out to me was a recent episode (first of his second season). They go to the planet, find the bad guy, turns out he’s a literal incel (feels like they didn’t have to be so on the head, but that bit is whatever) stalking the new companion. In the end he unceremoniously dies. The Doctor and the new companion shared a laugh.

The Doctor doesn’t laugh at death. Granted I’ve never watched the originals, but the other Doctors have no shortage of hang ups about it. The tenth goes out of his way to give the bad guys a chance to end peacefully on his debut episode before killing them with a frown. The fourteenth chastised a person for trying to take advantage of the bad guy hanging from a ledge in her debut episode. The eleventh was a showman, but treated a good man going to war with proper, barely restrained rage. The twelfth has a sizable plotline about his issues with soldiers that interferes with his relationship with Clara.

It just doesn’t feel like the Doctor that I grew attached to, even Jodie Whittaker (who I argue was a victim of bad writing). I blame Disney.

Similar genre with a tiny setup difference: portal fantasy. Think Narnia or Inuyasha in which characters return from the other world

Close. It’s flea market.

It’s not that bad. It’s just German for flea market. And English speakers shouldn’t have an issue with at least “Markt”. Not far from a cognate.

Definitely better names but I think the bigger hurdle is getting the critical mass to get something like marketplace to work in the fediverse even with the perfect name.
