You're so right about Steven Moffat. Favorite Doctor Who era, for sure!
Thank you, it is something I completely stand by! Glad to speak for others! This fuckass website just doesn’t get it sometimes.
#not Derry girls#Steven Moffat#Doctor who#Moffat Era is my favorite era but more than that Moffat understands the Doctor#and the Companions#better than both Chibnall and Rusty (I’ve grown soft on RTD in my old age but still)#and that’s not to say neither did anything of value but for my money#if you put them on a scale#you’d have to put RTD and Chibnall together to even sort of tip the scale toward equal#and Moffat would still be a heavyweight on quality#and I’m going further to say Moffat is actively feminist#he’s just also a straight white man who’s had to grow and change with the times#and has misstepped and been a part of a culture that needed to change (still does)#but you don’t just write Lynda Day as your first female lead and Madeline Crow as your current one and not be inherently invested in#telling women’s stories#to say nothing of Amy Pond and Clara Oswald and Bill Potts and River Song#at this point if you still believe Moffat is some misogynist goblin#I take that as shorthand for ‘I watched Sherlock and Doctor Who in 2011-2012 and that’s it#‘and I got all my feminist fandom talking points from Tumblr in those same years and never went further’#it’s 2024 just admit you (tumblr as a whole) got it wrong#like it’s not a crime to get it wrong lol#just be grown about it
