The thing that pisses me off about Moffatt is not that he makes mistakes when writing female, LGBT, people of colour, ect. characters (I don't expect a straight, white, male to be able to write those type of characters without ever making any mistakes), it's that he's so unwilling to learn and accept it when he does make those mistakes.

He's like a child sticking his fingers in his ears and going "la la la I'm not listening" or even worse, using the "it's you that has the problem, not me, you're seeing things that aren't there" line whenever someone points out that there's a problem with the way he's writing something.

Yeah, that's what's so sad about the whole thing. He could do better, he just doesn't see the need to. As much as people eyeroll at the mention of white privilege, that's what white privilege is-- the ability to brush all those issues off and say they don't matter, because the truth is they don't have to matter or be relevant when you're a middle-aged, straight, able-bodied white guy.

He's had good moments when writing a children's/teen's show in Press Gang, which is why I was really excited he started writing another children's show (Who) and ...that didn't go as well as I hoped. I think the more 'established' he's become, the more annoying he's become about people's legitimate critiques.

I call this "Anne Rice Syndrome" - the refusal to accept any form of critique on the grounds that it would destroy one's Pristine Artistic Vision (TM), and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge the fact that oftentimes one's 'artistic vision' is, in fact, terribly nearsighted.
