"They are *just* tv shows people. Lighten up." Thank you!! I have a friend who really pissed me off for calling Stephen Moffat misogynistic because he writes male centric stories and he thought Rose's romance w/the 10th Doctor Who was stupid (and laughed at the fans for taking it too seriously).... And I'm just so tired of people using this hyperbolic language... A writer isn't racist just because he kills off a character of color, and isn't misogynistic because he doesn't respect your 'ship'!
It is just TV... not life and death! *sigh*
Actually I think it is the same Rose/Doctor#10 fan girls who are attacking 'Sherlock' because they want to prove that Moffat IS misogynistic...
Sorry about the rant, it is just entertainment and I shouldn't get so annoyed at my 'friends', but I just wish they could argue their opinions without all the name calling. For one thing I think it devalues the really horrible actions of real life misogyny!
