Moffat blames the media for what he says is a false narrative about backlash against the casting of a woman in the show’s title role.
Oh, Lord. Moffat, you can’ t leave soon enough. Talk about sticking your foot in your mouth and shoving hard.
Look, I have no problem with casting a woman for Thirteen and I’ m looking forward to what they do with the change. But Moffat is either lying or greatly misinformed. There has been a *huge* backlash in the fandom. The rest of us have had to listen to it for days. And it was entirely predictable. So, perhaps Steven “Sausage Factory for a Writers Room” Moffat should shut his trap about the topic of sexism and misogyny and finish exiting the building.
Thank you Mr. Moffat for telling it like it is!
Of course it’s a non-story. Sci-fi and fantasy are by their very nature liberal in their beliefs (pro-science, pro-tolerance, pro-education) . Misogynists are by their very nature conservative. These are phony complaints about a show these people never, ever watch on a “foreign” network they never, ever watch.
Wow. I guess it’s all “fake news”! SAD!
