so from all the Discourse i’d like to make my ‘i really hate moffat and i really dislike the fans don’t admit his awful behaviour’ so here we go you’ve pushed me over the edge. thanks to @sensaetes for help and the snapchat rages.
- in order to prove their ‘oh godly moff’s’ points, they’ve said john barrowman is a sex offender (holy shit), and dragged him for his transphobic comments (once), while moffat is a repeat sleezebag queerbaiting sexist fuck.
- ‘torchwood was never popular and never worked!’ – you guys, the fandom
- if you’re going to talk about how john barrowman is transphobic then maybe address how the missy storyline was Problematice As Fuck
- sherlock is literally a disgusting pile of sexism and queer baiting
- (but you already knew that)
- s5 onwards dw became queer baiting bs as well, with throwaway lines to indicate characters like clara are queer, never actually confirming. i honestly bellieve moffat has a degree in queer baiting or something
- joined in with the sherlock cast in dragging elementary, ‘I’m not having a pop at Elementary, but Benedict is a lot more famous than anybody on their show.’ not to mention the whole cast said these things, as well as a female cast member who identifies as a feminist being racist to lucy liu
- this whole post makes me feel gross explanation here
- the whole series 5 arc was to completely rewrite rtd era dw and ignore it, but not in a cool x-men needed way, in a ‘i’m steven moffat i do what i want’ way
‘But Moffat’s protagonists are not so colorful [as RTD’s]. Most of the companions conform to the same set of qualities: being uncannily clever and flirtatious but over-compensating because they’re, in actuality, very insecure. We also never see their daily lives beyond the TARDIS doors. Amy was given more time to develop, though. Inserting Rory into the formula helped make her a bit less uncomfortable in terms of her constantly (CONSTANTLY) insinuating her very, uh, intimate thoughts about the Doctor.’
- to continue the whole ‘moffat rewrote and erased all of rtd and classic doctor who thing’
- rtd destroyed gallifrey and instigated the time war to give dw a fresh start
moffat brought it back- rtd and classic master was a psychopath, (implied) rapist, torturer, mass murderer, etc.
moffat master is quirky- in rtd and classic who, death had consequences. whole episodes were dedicated towards a decision of whether someone should live or die, the doctor was haunted by the deaths that he caused, and the fact that his companions grew to believe that death was ok
no one gives a shit in moffat dw- while moffat may be right and can’t bring torchwood back… do you really think he would?? he was one of the only rtd era writers, along with gatiss, not to put his two cents in torchwood, coincidence?
- this whole post explains why rtd era works and moffat era doesn’t
- moffat’s casual body negativity, homophobia, etc.
- the fact that all you fans have put your opinions into the torchwood tag SERIOUSLY
#by painting Amy and River and Clara as ‘girls’ #Moffat puts them in positions with less power #He infantilizes them and reduces them to side-characters in their own stories #Because nothing about these ladies is about the #*them #it’s all about the Doctor #and how he reacts to the puzzles they supply #for god’s sake Amy’s pregnancy wasn’t even about her #It was about how the Doctor was going to figure out what was wrong with Amelia #Did you notice that when he’s worried about her #he calls her Amelia#he makes her a child again to remind her (and himself and the audience) of her real position: #as the girl who waited #THE GIRL #the CHILD he met first (via isilienelenihin) from here
- moffat has created great monsters and story arcs, i mean for god’s sake blink! moffat just thinks it would be cool to bring them back and back again when it wouldn’t work, e.g. weeping angels. this is another flaw of his, and when this was brought to him he behaved negatively
- do your research lads
- great article about moffat era queerbaiting, a lot less angrier than me
- general moffat apologists arguments and their contradictions
- ‘the forest of cheem fancied me’ pretty sure she didn’t moffat
- lack of continuity in characerisation, added sexism for fun!
- bechdel test every donna noble ep passed, rtd has a rate of 89% pass, moffat has 53%
- i’m so done
moffat apologists don’t reblog this trying to start discourse. you started this by going into torchwood tags, etc., and bringing your discourse there. i refuse to tag this in your tags and go down to your standards. unfollow me if you’ve got a problem, but just remember all the things i’ve pointed out.
