Russell T Davies: Here's a new character for Doctor Who. He's Captain Jack Harkness, whose most prominent characteristic is that he's pansexual and will hit on anyone.
Fandom: Yay!

Steven Moffat: Here's a new character for Sherlock. She's Irene Adler, whose whose most prominent characteristic is that she's pansexual and will hit on anyone.
Fandom: Why does everyone think bisexuals are only about sex? This is just more of Moffat's problem with writing strong, competent women.

Is this a Thing? I learned from TVTropes that Moffat is a misogynist. Which was a revelation, considering the last two seasons of Doctor Who.

I'm beginning to wonder if the majority of people with this opinion 'discovered' it the same way I did, or through a certain 'feminist' blogger who thoroughly dislikes his writing style.

Apparently so.

Someone on JournalFen complained that Moffat thought a woman couldn't really be a hero unless she had kids. This is clearly referring to Amy's pregnancy, but given that her daughter is River frakking Song, who has not had any kids or any sort of pregnancy, as far as we know, it's kind of logically inconsistent.

Apparently, the old TWOP recapper, Jacob, stopped because he couldn't stand Moffat. Which isn't much of an indication of anything, since the man was a pretentious massive twit.

Bottom Line: Standard fandom myopia, move along, nothing to see here.

If the blogger's surname starts with "Mc", and the website doesn't allow comments which don't agree with the bloggers, and require new commenters to read dozens of articles, I wouldn't be surprised if any analysis of the show was a little...biased.
