    I don't hate Steven Moffat, but I can understand why certain people do.

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I don't hate Steven Moffat, or love Steven Moffat, and I wish Tumblr would stop assuming I care.
  • the only thing i know about Steven Moffat is that he is the worst thing since pouring lemon juice on paper cuts.



    also he is apparently largely responsible for the things i dislike about the newest iterations of doctor who.

    But you are talking about Steven Moffat, so there is that,

    Love and hate are simply extremes, you can feel mild contempt or mild joy about him you know.

    and in case someone is trying to tell me "Well, the conversation was about him, of course people would talk about him"

    Oh? I've only watched the Newest Store-bought Doctor Who,

    How did it change from old-style country squeezed Who?

    ^^^^ Much of the fandom contingent on Tumblr acts as if everyone is as full of passion over trivial things as they are. Which is fair if they are a purely fandom-focused blog—certain audiences expect certain things—but not if they are more wide-ranging in their interests. But so it goes.

    ...and now I have a mental image of Odradek undergoing trial by combat against Meulin Leijon. YES.

    ^^^ He is a promoted fanboy. This has its ups and downs accordingly.
  • I still don't own an accountment of Tubbler.

    Should I embark?
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I would be entertained to see what you post.
  • the new one seems more fast paced and action-y, and from what i've seen there's this kinda pseudo-intimate romance-y dynamic between the Doctor and his companions which is rather offputting, to me at least that is.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Yeah, Moffat is like that. On the other hand, if I am not mistaken, he was the one that tapped Neil Gaiman to write one of the better episodes of the recent run—"recent" being relative given that I have not seen much of the show in a solid year...
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    Moffat is the only one that I can see as a proper final boss.

    And maybe Snyder and Abrams.

    I resent that Abrams got big due to Hollywood nepotism.

    You needed to know this.

    That started during the Davies era (I think), and it was only really prevalent during Rose Tyler's time as companion (Martha's feelings for the Doctor were one-sided, Donna was not romantically involved with him, Amy wound up marrying Rory and I don't think the Doctor or Clara had feelings for each other)

    This draws a lot of hate from people who are angry that this white guy is getting all the gay love when there have totally been black rappers who have supported gay rights.

    man he ain't getting the gay love, he's getting the OMG IM AN ALLY WATCH ME DO MY ALLY THING YEEEAHHHHH people love.
    Ok, good, so it's not just me who thinks so.

    Same thought.
  • I have a post outlining exactly what's wrong with Moffat somewhere in my bookmarks.

    But he's basically a creator who's kind of sexist and doesn't really know how to treat the QLTGBA, particularly the A and B bits. He wouldn't be notable if he was on a lower-rung, but he's in charge of two sections of of the Superwholock continuum, which means that his screw-ups have wide-reaching effects and Tumblr hates him because of that.

    Also, his take on the Doctor is apparently less appreciative of humanity on a whole, tending to favor people with weird mysteries surrounding them instead of favoring people for who they are. Which also feeds into his issues with the fairer sex.

    I don't have a personal opinion on him, as I've only touched on the Davis era of New Who, but I do know that he screwed up one of the only notable female characters in the Sherlock canon, which is a cardinal sin.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    One of these days I'm going to fiddle around with tumblr and get two accounts, one clean and one nsfw

    one of these days
  • most of the hate i've seen has been of the "his fans act like he's some grand saviour of hip-hop and it's getting annoying" variety.

    Macklemore has fans?

    plus he's annoyingly preachy, and apparently some people see him as acting "above" the hip-hop scene as a whole, which is something i cannot really comment on the validity of.



    he had ScHoolboy Q on his tape, so even if his fans might think that he certainly doesn't. 

    man he ain't getting the gay love, he's getting the OMG IM AN ALLY WATCH ME DO MY ALLY THING YEEEAHHHHH people love.



    how? The only commentary he's ever made on the subject afaik is "Same Love", which is about his uncle specifically.

    I've never really seen any indication of him using that to further his own image a la a Lady Gaga or something.

    This is entirely true, but it's not the fault of the man himself.

    If everyone hated rappers with annoying fans no one would like KRS-1.

    I'm not defending the guy or even saying he's good, but the hate for him is based on faulty reasoning and I think people mostly do it because he's an easy target, honestly I think his biggest crime is having a stupid rap name and being paired with a produer who is too good for him. I understand that tween white girls who don't listen to any other rap music are annoying people to deal with, but that's not Macklemore's fault.

    Honestly if you're going to pick a semipopular white rapper to hate on, pick Mac Miller, who is now for some reason being lauded as a genius after Watching Movies With The Sound Off.

  • also, if you're going to pick a popular or semipopular rapper to hate based off of percieved character traits, I have a laundry list here for you.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Well this just shows Tumblr is insufficiently radical, because real Marxists hate Jay-Z

    He's not talking about Macklemore himself, he's saying that the people who fawn over "Same Love" tend not to be actual queer people but the kind of people who want to show that they're ~allies~ and want the world to know how ~supportive~ they are.

    Fuck that, I'mma listen to Clipping...
  • i have logged out of tumblr and forgotten my password because the whole thing was starting to look like

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Oh my.

    I liked your blog...

    ._.
  • sorry dude u_u
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Well, if you start a new one or remember the password, just let me know, OK?
  • I am most certainly not intending to do either, i would much rather aggregate interesting content on my own to share with friends and not have deal with whiny teenagers and filter through moronic bullshit.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    That is fair.
  • Frankly, I'd do the same, but there's a circle of ex-tropers on there, and that's the only way that I stay in contact with them.

    Good show, Naney

    I got turned off from tumblr a little bit but I should minimize it by just unfollowing blogs that are not photography and art and Touhou.

    this was what i was doing, but then i racked up a bunch of overly chummy mutual follows from some obnoxious music snobs and one reddit-y atheist chap u_u
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I get the feeling that it would have been a bit more complicated than simply unfollowing them?
  • yeah cuz they would have noticed
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Well, if they are people that you would care not to be associated with in the first place, then why let it concern you? At worst, you might have to explain to them that their behaviour has rankled you, or perhaps block them.
  • The sadness will last forever.

  • if only i could saviour untagged smug bullshit
  • endlessly compounded smug, as you once eloquently put it?

    See, the people who flood my dash with smug bullshit usually tend to meet with the "Unfollow" button

    But I am trapped in one or two mutual follows with people whom I don't think know I dislike them -_-

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    But why waste time trying not to hurt the feelings of someone who you dislike in the first place?
  • because i do not like hurting the feelings of people
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I don't either, but if the person is a jerk and causing you undue distress, then it is entirely likely that they will suffer far less from your rejection of their bad behaviour than you would from continuing to deal with them.
  • well, i chose a path that causes neither of us stress
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    ...but it indirectly causes me stress, because I no longer have your Tumblr presence to perennially improve my and other people's lives with the boon of finding cool things on the Internet and making funny little tag comments about them...
  • i did not think about that


    i guess i can continue tumbling and just unfollow some peeps for yous
  • now i feel like an inconsiderate buttface
