I have the racism and Doctor Who essay written out longhand ready for type up, and it's just so fucking depressing that I'm really wondering if being part of this project is worth the toll on me. Is this cosmically worth it? Would anyone learn or change their minds?

I think that worrying that it won't be worth saying unless it changes someone's mind is the wrong goal; people change their own minds. Speaking out just gives them a better data set for reaching their own conclusions, and that is very much worth doing. Do what you can. If nothing else, I'd like to read it.

You've already made a difference- I've been rewatching New Who recently, and with a much more critical eye, after some of the things you've pointed out. I'd like to know more.

I don't think you're going to convince people who aren't open to hearing you, but average viewers who may not have considered the facts as you present them? They might start considering the issue because you brought it up. And I find it really helpful to write out an argument, in order to get my thoughts organized in my own head. In my experience, it's very helpful if I later want to engage in a conversation on the topic with people who are at curious or open to hearing my thoughts.
