I don't even watch Sherlock but from your posts today two things are clear. 1) I'm glad that the straightsโข๏ธ are not getting what they want and 2) I wanna know why the hell they are whiningโฆ I thought Sherlock was a Detective show
The JL fans are Blorps on crack. They have said horrible things to the two actress that have been love interest for the men even though one of them was Martinโs real life wife/mother of his kids and they have both talked about how shitty of an experience it was to see her be on the receiving end of the fandomโs abuse. The only reason they arenโt worse than the Blarkes is because theyโre not racistโฆbut only because there is no POC woman on the cast that threatens their ship.
JL is an absolutely fetishizing m/m ship that theyโve harassed the cast and the writers about FOR YEARS. Theyโve been told in every way possible that this is not a thing. There has never been an instance where itโs been vague. The answer has always been โNoโ. Sure, when theyโve been denouncing it, there are times that the writers and even the actors have given less than polite answers at cons or interviews about the ship but it is because theyโve ran out of patience. There is only so many times that you can repeat the same thing to a group of crazies without getting testy about it. They were warned. Things were made explicitly clear to them. They werenโt baited, yet today theyโre acting like this is the biggest affront to LGBT that ever happened in media. Theyโre insufferable and Iโm so glad they were knocked out of their pedestal, but now a lot of them have gone from full blown โMoffat and Gattis (a gay man!) are homophobic assholes who baited usโ tantrum to doubling down and saying โWe know what we saw! Weโre STILL right! Youโre wrong!!!โ because clearly itโs not like Moffat and Gattis are the ones whoโve been writing the show.
Fandoms that think they know more about the show than the writers and the actors are such an annoying thing to come across. They now think thereโs a secret post finale episode that will air. They still think thereโs no way they could be wrong when theyโve been told it isnโt happening over and over and over and over. Itโs been reiterated that this is not the show theyโre writing and yet today you still have the straight white girls screaming off every rooftop โI WAS QUEERBAITED!โ. Shut the fuck up. Honestly. People in the LGBT community have real issues. There are real instances of dangerous baiting that have happened in the least year and here they are trying to make this into something that it isnโt just because the writers didnโt fanservice them. Itโs absurd.
