Oh yes, a child from another culture that was abducted, neglected, left 
to die, experimented on, repeatedly murdered, and turned into an agent 
of evil, a mass murdering genocidal maniac.

I don't give a fuck about her or the child grooming pervert. 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.

Only if you condone systematic child abuse and murder.
