Logic? I've been asking for a logical reason for the change all along and all I get is "because" and "why not" and it's about time".. Not one logical reason at all. And yet, I'm the one who's being vilified because I dare to disagree. You guys even keep misquoting me or keep ascribing meanings and thoughts to me that I don't have. Got it. I see where you're coming from now at least.

You certainly haven't made a logical argument for keeping the Doctor male - It has always been thus isn't logic - it's inertia.

Was 12 male Doctors in a row not enough? Btw, if you don't like people making an adverse (in this case, sexist) evaluation of you, I suggest that you choose your words more carefully - words have meaning.

Whether you like it or not, White Male isn't going to stay an automatic default for characters in ANY medium. The BBC will have the opportunity to take the character in new directions. Sorta like how BSG gender switched Starbuck - that was a massive improvement over the 1980's version.

We are seeing the same thing in graphic novels (how Nick Fury went from the old white guy in my youth to Samuel L. Jackson - massive improvement). For some reason, I don't believe that being female will prevent Cpt Marvel from being badass.

Now, watch me tie this to Poser and bring the topic somewhat on topic ;p)......

The number one reason that I don't subscribe to the "one mesh to rule them all" is that over 95% of the characters are early to mid 20's Caucasians (have you counted? Because I have) that all appear to come from the same family tree. That isn't a problem if one's goal is to be a 3rd rate George Petty wannabe - moving out of the pin-up ghetto means that as a 3rd rate graphic artist, I need a wide variety of ages, genders, and races.

Which is why I am looking forward to Ambient Shades characters - I doubt they will go any farther than any other non-DAZ figure in Poser, but every little bit helps.
