Dr Who; a protagonist constant for good fighting evil, and saving the planet since 1963.
Doesn’t get more woke than that.

I think you need to re-calibrate your understanding of the 21st century´s understanding of “woke”
Is that where the perma-scared label anything that makes them uncomfortable or challenges them “woke”?
Nah, I don’t subscribe to that.
Well, you do you and enjoy your gay Doctor. Perhaps they should paint the Tardis in rainbow.
Could be worse, could be a PortoPotty.
Well both Dr Who & that other good fighting evil character namely Ian Flemings, James Bond have been tardy recently failing to put paid to Putins antics in the Kremlin.
Even M reckons Bond is ‘out of place in the 21st century’ & not up to the job considering 2020 society & social values.
Or, in other words, enjoy Dr Who.
Personally, I thought Christopher Eccleston was the worst doctor of all. Zero charisma. Ncuti Gatwa has settled into the role well and fits the quirky-ness. All subjective, I know.
Did you never wonder why he never made a move on his nubile assistants.

I thought it was something to do with the age gap - like several thousand years difference.

I always imagined that the Doctor looks quite different to us, If I remember there was an episode where this is shown.
You mean as well as two hearts he has two …
That as well. And a bits totally unpluggable into human orifices.
Ah, the good old Swiss three-pin plug!
I was thinking more an imperial dick in a metric world, but that works too.
Ah, the Time Lord so imperial- clever
Never made any on his male assistants either so you’re point is …
Any canon that existed about Doctor Who is long gone out of the window which is why I don’t bother to watch any more. Doesn’t mean the Doctor won’t win new fans, but whether it’ll keep the old ones at the same time … 
Anyway, Beeb article on the subject.

There have been romantic suggestions with the doctor. But never with a new character in a single episode. This wasn’t about relationships building - it was pure lust.
This read like fan fiction. It was not good story telling which is what Dr Who should be about.
Regarding the link about LGBT fans. Dr Who has always been camp. But I’m pretty sure that while LGBT people also tend to like musicals (except one of my friends who prefers opera…), they don’t like them because of the gay kiss.
Can’t say I’ve ever felt it was that way inclined myself.
Given he had a daughter (and a granddaughter in the very first series) certainly not asexual. So why not bi? Completely fits with the character imo.
