there i did it you don’t need to make fandom posts any more because i just summed up every single god damn one
shiT I FORGOT THAT ONE
Martin Freeman? One for you.
Andrew Scott? One for you, Andrew Scott, YOU GO, Andrew Scott!
And. Ugh. Stephen Moffat? Do we have a Stephen Moffat here?
It’s Steven.
Oh Steven! Here you go, one for you.
And none for Benedict Cumberbatch. BYE!
Oh my god why does no one understand this? Sherlock is not a gay postive show
SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW
SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW
SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW
The closest thing in Sherlock to queer representation was Irene Alder who said she was gay and then fell in love with Sherlock. (make of that what you will.)
The whole show is about two heterosexual men. And one of those men, Watson, spends about half an hour each episode telling everyone ever that he and Sherlock are not a couple.
That is not gay representation.
I repeat: that is not gay representation.
And fuck you if you think that is representation.
A show having a large slash fandom does not count as representation.
I’m sure there a many legitimate criticisms of Elementary, but accusing the show of being homophobic because Watson is played by a woman is not one of them.
I cannot say this enough times: Sherlock is not a gay positive show.
Sherlock is not a progressive show in terms of representation. It is about two white cis heterosexual men solving crimes.
The fact that Elementary has a women of color as a main character pretty much already makes it more progressive than Sherlock.
And furthermore if you watch Elementary you are under no obligation to ship Sherlock/Watson. I’m sure that there will be at least one other dude you can find.
And listen, Sherlock is a good show and Elementary existing is not gonna change that. You are under no obligation to watch it. You are under no obligation to even acknowledge it.
Fandom and reality: don’t confuse them.
It looks like he goes inside and gets teleported back outside, so he looks around sort of confused and tries again.
^THIS.
I can’t stop laughing
