Escobarbarian posted:I agree with Occ about the event in the episode being sexist, but I'm not sure about the idea that Doctor Who always 'operates under a level of sexism' simply because its protagonist is a white male. Like, does that apply to EVERY show with a white male protagonist? Yes.

You're out of your mind if you tell me Clara, especially with Capaldi, is a damsel in distress.

In contrast: Flatline, Hell Bent, Mummy, Kill the Moon. Clara is co-protagonist by the end of her tenure.

Escobarbarian posted:The thing is that we all know the "there's a tremendous lack of respect for anything male"/"you are loving BANISHED from doctor who" Moffat is the real one, so why give him the benefit of the doubt? Because a dubious quote from 12 years ago and a rumor in Private Eye are up against nearly a decade of capable, three-dimensional female characters, including multiple starring action roles for older actresses, a leading gay character portrayed by a woman of color, along with four+ years of bricklaying in anticipation of a female Doctor. You have to be willfully, maliciously dense to pretend that poo poo doesn't count!

Escobarbarian posted:Moffat wasn't talking as a writer (he was complaining after getting corrected for misusing a pronoun during a panel) but I get your point about how there isn't a good way to refer to people who don't conform to either gender (even if I would argue that's not the point he was making in that quote). HE WAS NOT CORRECTED FOR MISUSING A PRONOUN He didn't misgender ANYBODY! That NEVER HAPPENED!

Escobarbarian posted:I'm just goin' off that tweet, dude. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing someone covering a live panel would make up for laughs. It's called context, you boob. Someone else slipped up about pronouns for Time Lords who have changed gender and Moffat made that remark in response. You're "just goin off that tweet" which is exactly the loving problem. Develop some goddamn rigor.
