Sure, you live a life inconsistent with your purported ethics, that is your right, we all do it to some degree. You can express *literal horror* at shipping chicks in the mail and still eat McNuggets. But it does make you look silly, which was my point.

Yeah, 75k people don't know how fucking farms work.

CVS Lady: "Do you have a CVS card?"

You won't get answers because Moffat's main Doctor Who mission is to make sure that RTD's era of Doctor Who simply doesn't exist anymore.

The fact that you think "existing as a woman" is attention-seeking is...wow.

That strip is complete horseshit.

It kills me, it just always seems like a lack of empathy. Just people complaining " but it's ok for me so why should I care?"

Beause it makes him uncomfortable. And if someone makes you uncomfortabl, it's easier to think they're doing it because they hate you than because they have a point. Cognitive dissonance.

Probably to some extent, because women speaking out against sexism (or what they consider sexism) and advocating change always get death and rape threats. People tracking them down, threatening kids, hacking bank accounts etc are common too.

Yeah, her videos are so mild. People make way more inflammatory feminist videos about movies, books and other media, and fans of those media manage to avoid losing their fucking minds over it.

"Bomb threats are bad. Ok, that's out of the way."

I don't understand why you need it to be a "go make your own games" situation, life isn't an us vs them situation. And men didn't cater to their own needs, men have had the power, in having the power they have only really catered to their own needs, whilst ignoring the needs of women, much like in politics old white…

Sweetie, all women have to do is take apart a certain kind of guy's argument and the ragesplosion is epic. I just debated a 50something guy briefly on fb, guy I don't even know who had some highly, um, original economic theory going on in his argument. He's a lawyer; I used to work in govt in intl trade. I put a fork…

That is what I find oddest about all of this. Her claims are NOT revolutionary (and as you said, are basically claiming little more than "tropes exist in media"). If it wasn't for the HUGE negative backlash I wouldn't have considered what she was doing all the important or interesting, but the problem is apparently a…

Apparently her original series about tropes in general was already drawing a little attention from sexist sites and blogs, despite being tame feminist critiques, so I'm guessing that nobody suspected the huge mountain of BS that would be unleashed. But apparently her starting a Kickstarter for $6000 (for the current…

I'm sure she expected some, maybe not to the point of actually needing to alert authorities, but you basically can't be a woman saying something on the internet without expecting to be called awful names, at the absolute minimum.

who force others to call them video game journalists

I'm glad someone brought up that point. Amy/Rory's relationship always bugged me because of how manipulative she was to both Rory and the Doctor, but everyone always said they had such a great love. Now we get to Clara and first her and the Doctor sorta had a thing which was weird. Now every week he's talking down to…

Point of order: He does not do relationships well. He does toxic fucking relationships well.

Look, I don't want to belabor the 'Moffat has some shitty views about women' thing too much, but we have really one major example of how Moffat handles relationships, Amy and Rory, and that was a couple that split up—after he…

First of all, thanks for insulting people who didn't like the episode by saying they should watch some simpler show because there somehow less intelligent. Secondly, just because the episode tries to make you think doesn't mean it's good. Star Trek TNG's The Royale or Enterprise's Dear Doctor try the same and I don't…

Midnight was a fantastic episode because it was believable. Something clearly took over those people on the plane (space ship? Been awhile since I saw it). We didn't need to see the monster. It's powerful enough to see what the monster did.
