There's nothing for the majority of people to identify with or aspire two in either of those characters. Ruby should have been an ordinary person, from an ordinary home, living an ordinary life, like everyone else. Then her life changes from the ordinary when she meets the Doctor, not a child grooming pervert, and after undergoing new struggles and through a heroic journey she learns new lessons and aspires to become someone better than before. Gibson and Gatwa have shown us nothing about learning, heroism, and wisdom. It's all nothing more than mind numbing soap opera, bigoted left-wing lecturing, attempts to sexually groom children, cartoon logic and magic instead of science, reason, and using you mind to overcome adversity. > > So - no retcon.
