Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Transcript: To (some in) the Doctor Who fandom:

[quote] “I didn’t cast a woman...I cast a man. I didn’t [cast a woman] because I wanted to cast Matt Smith and I wanted to cast Peter Capaldi. I didn’t think it was a terrible idea [to cast a woman], I just thought, ‘I want to cast those people’ – that was it.”-- Steven Moffat on BBC Radio 4

Steven Moffat had every opportunity to cast literally anyone but a white man as the Doctor while he was running Doctor Who. But he chose to cast white men as the Doctor.

The BBC didn’t tell Moffat to keep casting white men as the Doctor. There are shows on the BBC that ARE lead by characters that are not straight white men.

Stop hailing Moffat as some sort of “visionary” who “pioneered” the way to a canonical female Doctor. And stop saying he gave Chris Chibnall the idea to have a female Doctor. Chibnall wanted a female Doctor. MOFFAT DID NOT.

I can get what Moffat was saying in that quote -- that he pictured certain people as the Doctor, and so he cast them -- but by extension it seems he never looked at a woman or a PoC and thought "Wow, they'd make a great Doctor."

(I had that thought every time I read an article about Maryam Mirzakhani that used that one picture of her.

Moffat was essentially playing Gary Stu with the doctor though.

That's what the Doctor is, essentially.

Didn't Moffat offer the role of 12 to Chiwetel Ejiofor, but he turned it down?
