The fans' response (death threats? really? I heard about it at the time, but I will never get over my sheer disbelief at how ridiculous people can be) was obviously completely unacceptable, stupid, ridiculous, disturbing, and wrong on every level. But the way he reacted to it seemed very, very sexist to me. I remember being really horrified and thinking, "This is exactly why writers shouldn't directly address their fans."

As for Moffat, I can't watch the video at work, so I don't know. But he pretty consistently makes really, really gender essential statements ("All women do such and such," "All men are this way"--and it really angers me).

I'm not at all saying you need to be offended by his commenting on Karen's body, but within the larger context of the way he talks, it bothered me a lot. Not to mention that if you said what he did in a non-TV/film-type environment, it wouldn't be regarded as appropriate at all. I had a visceral reaction to it. And again--not saying you have to. Just that I did, and I don't think I'm wrong to react in that way.

I appreciate both of their talents, but they're people, too, and not perfect, and sometimes do/say inappropriate things.
