i feel so bad for the people who haven’t watched moffat era who cause of the nonsense spewed by certain parts of tumblr
The problem is that fabricated, demonizing narratives about real people can so easily turn into a hateful movement that carries the weight of blind zealotry. So a lot of people who have bought into all the “Moffat is a lying egotistical transphobic sexist racist homophobe who is butchering Doctor Who and who disrespects the fans” talk will end up seeing what they expect to see whether it’s there or not.
Preconceptions are tough to break down.
I still remember when someone invented a story about Peter Capaldi screaming at Steven Moffat on the set of Doctor Who and it got thousands of notes. Not once, apparently, did anyone stop to think “this is unrealistic, ridiculous, and extremely cruel to a lovely elderly actor”
