i actually adore bill (tho i really have issues with her ending and with moffat killing companions in general) so that's a fair thing to call me out on. i prob. shouldn't have made such a sweeping statement rip. i guess as a bi woman the clara thing just really pisses me off specifically ? and i find that there's so much treating queer sexuality as a joke in moffat's era that most of it makes me really uncomfortable. even with characters i do enjoy. if that makes sense? like even the pope joke with bill and that girl she's on a date with..... hated that.

hi marie i hope youre well! im popping by to recommend a recent video essay called Doctor Who vs Women by verilybitchie as i know its always hatingstevenmoffat o'clock on this blog. i also had fun reading the comments of moffat simps admitting they cant actually argue against the points made in the video lmao

oh, anon you speak my language !! it IS always hating stevenmoffat o'clock on this blog and this is a rec that seems so aligned with my interests. i can wait to watch it!!!

people who defend moffat and claim he's a feminist are so funny to me like ?????????? you can just say you like his stuff; we all like stuff that's questionable. you don't have to twist yourself into a pretzel to say he's woke in order to justify you liking his era ffs. (but the worst is when people try to argue he did great on lgbt rep on dw. bitch WHERE ????? WHERE?? bi!clara ?? god, the bar is literally on the floor. rtd casting yasmin did more for lgbt+ rep/visibility than the entirety of moffat's era and the eps havent even aired yet.)

anyways, i'll get back to you/this post when i've watched the thing but i'm very excited.

#anyways def didnt mean to start a debate or participate in bill erasure considering it was such a breath of fresh air for me after the #clara years that im just... v much not a fan of #and i do think he tried to improve on things in s10 that he was criticized for. not all of it worked for me but i can see it.#but i just can't help but i find most of his lgbt rep really lukewarm at best even if bill is MILES better.#wait lukewarm isnt the right word....#dishonest ? disingenuous??#idk #i just think he thinks we're a joke and not worth his time and i think it comes across in the writing #sorry #he either writes queer people as a joke or fetishizes them. or like ... super heteronormatively. they might as well be straight.#but lbr the reason i mentioned the bi clara thing is cos she was in the dw magazine pride issue and that really pissed me off.#like hints of bisexuality to ~titillate the audience??? is soo barf. and if that character and her being bi is meaningful to some fans then #good ofc. im happy for them. but me ? nah.#and maybe its not fair to judge him on his worst lgbt rep but *shrug*#ik there's a lot about the rtd era we can also complain about so yk #anyways whatever im rambling now. i just dont like him.
