I do kind of understand why people wouldn't get into Classic Who, because it's a pretty expensive endeavor if you go about it legally, but I have no pity at all for people who honestly act as if everything pre-Nine just didn't happen. If you're that determined to remain ignorant, that's on you. :P
Also, to be clear, I place the blame for much of the past few seasons' troubling shit squarely on Moffat's shoulders, and I'm not convinced that casting an older Doctor means he's going to stop peppering his episodes with misogynistic one-liners or giving the Doctor sexist attitudes that don't make a lick of logical sense for the character. I expect it's just going to be a different flavor of gross. But if there's less romantic/sexual tension between the Doctor and his companions, I'll count that as a silver lining.
