Hey, Tom Baker? Patrick Troughton really wants his jelly babies back.

The Doctor (and Doctor Who itself) is far more complex and expansive than many people realize.
As far as the general public is aware, the Doctor is probably still a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, with only the hardcore fans being aware of the half-human and Timeless Child debacles.
That being said, the general public isn't alone in falling victim to misapprehensions about Doctor Who, and the same is true for its beloved hero. Famously, fandom was furious at the Thirteenth Doctor for being a bit awkward with Graham's admission of his cancer fears in Series 12's Can You Hear Me. This was both a misunderstanding of the scene, and an example of how fans tend to recoil with horror when the Doctor, a thousands-of-years-old Time Lord, doesn't act like they do.
Believing that a fictional character (who is an alien and has a different morality), would behave exactly as you would is just one thing that people often get wrong about the Doctor - but it's not the only thing (https://whatculture.com/tv/doctor-who-10-things-everyone-always-gets-wrong-about-the-doctor?page=10)...
