I actually don’t mind this, but I imagine it’ll set of a bit of a… lively discussion.
Also I’m really looking forward to seeing what all the people who complained about Chris Chibnall’s era being “too woke” are going to make of RTD’s second era. From what I’ve seen so far, he’s really not fucking about this time lol.
I think RTD has cleverly side-stepped some of the fallout by setting this little story a little while before Genesis of the Daleks. It doesn’t quite work with established lore, but near enough that casual viewers might say “oh so this is before Davros has his accident or whatever”.
Yeah I think a lot of Chibnals detractors are in for a rude awakening. Sure, you can say it wasn’t woke for RTD1 but that’s nostalgia considering he:
parodied Tony Blair with John Simms master
created an out and proud pansexual in Harkness
portrayed the Doctor as ambiguous sexually, accepting advances from Jack and Lynda (?) In parting of ways
the slitheen two-parter being commentary on the war on terror and false claims of WMDs
I think that in the time since 2010, RTDs writing experience and the general increase in right wing radicalisation since 2015 are combining to create these decisions like able bodied Davros or 14 regenerating clothes

That’s literally what I thought and still kinda think even after his comments
It will be interesting to see if they address it next time we see Davros. RTD is pretty good at papering over continuity problems with a line or two:
Doctor: You’ve got legs! How??
Davros: The Daleks have mastery over time. It was simplicity itself to travel back and amend certain injurious events.
Doctor: You can’t just – It doesn’t work like that!
Davros: [indicates legs] Behold.
