Steven Moffat’s savage reply to the negative reactions of the new Doctor. (x)

#THE NOISE THAT JUST LEFT MY MOUTH. #STEVEN SLAY THEM ALL MOFFAT EVERYONE.

MOFFAT JUST BURIED THE NECKBEARDS ALIVE

Makes him sound good, but misogyny is a very real thing – and this is not how to address it.  I didn’t see ‘the same three’ posters, I saw hundreds and ongoing commentaries that made me cringe. One of the original Doctors, Peter Davison, is taking a lot of heat right now for his sexism, stating that with a female Doctor ‘boys won’t have a role model.’  This isn’t a joke to be brushed aside at a media event to gain applause.  I understand the need to minimise the trolls’ influence, but women live with this everyday, in various ways and we can’t brush it aside saying it doesn’t actually exist or undermine our tormentors with a casual flick of the wrist.  Doesn’t work like that.  

He had an opportunity to address the real damage of sexism, trolling and misogyny and missed it in favour of immediate and easy praise.
