YEAH RIGHT?!? rusty tusty dusty literally called the Doctor 'The Lonely God' while Twelve self-identified as a idiot with a box and screwdriver I'm not convinced op has watched a single episode after The End of Time

i think the reason i like rtd doctor who over moffat doctor who is that rtd doctor who to me had a sense of earnestness - of diving into concepts no matter how silly they were, of an optimistic view of humanity

whereas moffat to me came over as mostly cynical, smug, with a negative view on humanity and people

#and like I'm genuinely trying not to be a bitch on someone else's post but otoh they put it in the moff tags sooo #but like WHAT is with rtd stans tossing around factually incorrect information like it's free??#you're allowed to just say you do not vibe with this without trying to make literally everything a fake social justice issue #moffat did not have two separate companions outgrow the doctor to go have space adventures of their own #for you to still be trotting out the tired - nay exhausted - moffat's an ~evil sexist~ line #while I have had to deal with the fucking metacrisis bullshit AGAIN in 2023 now with added faux girl power gender essentialism #Clara Bill and Yaz all got to fly the TARDIS without needing their brains fried by time lord mind melding #and without the narrative punishing them for doing so via a fridging in the original 'depowered and violated' sense #that then took 15 years three showrunner changes and near-universal fan hatred to fix #and which still got fixed via two women agreeing that having powers is something only egotistical 'male-presenting time lords' do (gag)#ok ok I'm sorry I'll stop I promise but ough it's cathartic I've had YEARS of being nice to people actively spitting in my cheerios #'moffat is cynical' tell me you only know moffat via fandom osmosis without telling me you only know moffat via fandom osmosis #op if you genuinely like warm hopeful earnest stories about people being kind to each other just 'cause #maybe watch some of series 5 - 10 #maybe you'd enjoy it
