re: people's critiques of women in Moffat vs Ritchie - I think that's, again, more a function of people paying more attention to Moffat and caring more about the things he does than the other - because one of those people makes big splashy Hollywood blockbusters and the other one writes nerdy nerd nerd stuff - so people have a pre-existing relationship with Moffat's work, they pay more attention, they just generally care more. The only previous relationship that people have with Guy Ritchie is knowing that he's the guy who used to be married to Madonna. Just fandom dynamics, you know?

Yep, definitely. People see what he's done in/with Doctor Who and whatever else he's worked on, and they have a preconceived notion of what his stuff is like, and whether they want to like it. Cognitive bias and all that jazz.

I find it hard not to pay attention to Moffat's suckage when he only writes the same character types for every different show. River Song and Irene Adler? Same "strong and sexy" lady.
His 11th Doctor, 9's way of speaking, and Sherlock? His clever lead and mouthpiece. It's why a lot of viewers find 11's sexist remarks about women in Let's Kill Hitler jarring compared to previous Doctors who at least made blanket statements about humanity and other species.

Oh, I'm not defending Moffat at all. It's more that... it's possible that Ritchie has done stuff that's as bad or worse. Fandom just doesn't pay attention. One of the reasons people don't get angry about female characters in the Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie is because they haven't paid attention to Guy Ritchie that much and don't have any knowledge one way or the other, whereas with Moffat they have and so they notice this shit. When maybe Ritchie has a ton of sexist shit in his previous movies and stuff and we just don't know. I'm not saying that Moffat's great or anything; I mostly think he sucks. I just think we notice it way more than we notice Guy Ritchie one way or the other.

If you'd never seen a Guy Ritchie movie before Sherlock Holmes, I feel bad for you.
