Don't you think this question is kinda creepy and objectifying though?

They are all beautiful.

@Najawin i kind of agree.

Yeah me too.

I know he's a guy, but come on Rory Williams!

For those of you who are offended by this post, you don't have to participate. Please refrain from criticizing.

@Shambala108 Thank you for your defense of the post, but I'd like to address those who have an issue with the question.

This is not the first time I have seen this question asked. However I thought it may be the first time this wiki has seen the it, so I decided to pose it here.

I am not trying in any way shape or form to objectify the women who have played the fantastic companions in the show. I would be against doing that, actually. However people are going to, whether they realize or not, find one of these characters more attractive. Notice though in the question I didn't say "hottest" or any silly garbage like that. Just because you may think one character is prettier than another doesn't make them more attractive. I made my vote considering appearance but moreso considering behavior and personality.

Also, one reply mentioned that the question was "creepy," and it got the most upvotes so I'm assuming this is a common opinion. In addition to the above justification I would add that the BBC purposely picks actresses they think will be attractive as Who companions. I don't think it's creepy just to note someone is attractive. If I was going beyond that, then I would have a problem. I'm not fantasizing, I'm not making fanfiction or fanart. Noting a fact is completely different than being nasty.

And finally. I am not saying, nor would I ever say, that one of these people is better than another. Opinions mean nothing. These are real people with real lives and their lives matter. They are not objects; they are people. "In 900 years of time and space I never met a person that didn't matter." That's one of the greatest truths of the show. Yet is it wrong to have an opinion on the subject? Your answer may be different, but I don't believe so.

I sincerely hope this poll did not come across as too negative in any sort of way. That was not the intent and I apologize if it was seen that way.

"I would add that the BBC purposely picks actresses they think will be attractive as Who companions"

This is untrue. It's seen as a nice plus. See Moffat's comments about Karen Gillan, for instance - he had decided on casting her based on her acting skills but at first thought she was a bit plain after seeing her only through a camera. He was pleasantly surprised (in his role as a producer) that she was very marketably attractive. And I note that these comments of his, rightly or wrongly, I think wrongly - they're a part of the business of television, were ones that were widely criticized as misogynistic.

There is absolutely no indication that for the nuwho companions that it plays a decisive role.

And lemme note that I actually voted in the poll, I think it's perfectly reasonable to note that someone is attractive. I also did a series of joking polls about Jenna Coleman's various outfits in the series. (To be fair, this was more making fun of the repeated polls we had that were constantly the same thing over and over.) I just think that asking a question like this is kinda weird. Having an opinion isn't. But, like, asking the question is just a bit, I dunno, gauche.

Maybe other people disagree and thinking having an opinion at all is an issue! But I don't see an issue with merely stating preferences. It's the sort of invitation to objectify that's a bit much for me, the social aspect of it.

I'm sorry, again, if it came across that way. The exact question was asked on the Doctor Who Reddit and it was positively received, so I wasn't expecting controversy here. Otherwise I would not have asked it.

Sorry about my previous claim about the BBC. I didn't have firsthand sources to confirm that claim so I wasn't right to have made it. Odd that he was seen as a misogynist... Most shows on TV treat women far worse than Who does in my opinion. But that's another discussion for a different site.
