pyangpyangart: it-varys: lonely—mountain: it-varys: mahakavi: “YOU CAN’T COMPARE ELEMENTARY AND SHERLOCK!” yes you bloody well can elementary is objectively better and that is a thing that is true you can’t prove otherwise you can enjoy whatever show you want (i still watch bbc sherlock) just stop making inane comments about elementary, alright? alright and sherlock fandom, collect your fucking trash please YES GOOD I’m really sorry, but no. Where in the whole of Sherlock is there anything about racism? And the sexism, is that because they stuck closer to the canon by having a man play Watson? I personally couldn’t give two fucks about who plays Watson, I prefer Martin but then again I have only seen the first four or five episodes of Elementary. There is also no queer baiting. If you can tell me where it is and make it obvious that it is there I will give you my soul And you can’t exactly use the fact that Elementary has a trans* character as a reason for it being better. Also, by saying that Elementary treats the trans* character with respect doesn’t make your point any stronger. It implies that if Sherlock did have a trans* character that she or he would be treated terribly. There is no proof that that would happen because there has not been any trans* characters in Sherlock, and I imagine that the writers of Sherlock would be able to treat that character with respect if they did decided to write one in to it. Also, where is your proof that Martin Freeman is a “racist shithead”? I am sorry but I get pissed of when people make excuses that Sherlock is full of racism etc. as a reason to hate on it. The racism was mainly in the portrayal of various Asian characters in The Blind Banker. The sexism was in the way the show handled all its female characters. The queerbaiting was in every instance where Sherlock and John had to tell someone else that they weren’t a couple, or some variation thereupon, all of which were played for laughs or fanservice or both. I haven’t read many interviews with Freeman but one Google search turned up this.  You can of course keep demanding proof, or denying that these things happened, or defending the extremely problematic creative decisions that went into Sherlock. Just please be aware of two things. First, it’s staggeringly easy to find answers to all the questions you posted, and you could have done it yourself instead of placing the burden of proof on the people who point it out. Second, it takes a boatload of privilege to say that the racism, sexism, and queerbaiting in Sherlock is just an excuse to hate on it. In light of all of these things, I have run out of excuses to keep watching Sherlock.  The arguments of people defending BBC Sherlock holy shitI happen to like both shows, but Moffat’s portrayal of Irene Adler and the Blind Banker episode was terrible, of fucking course they had to portray the Chinese characters as both circus performers and antique smugglers, ugh. I love Sherlock but hate that it utilizes so much problematic shit. Sherlock has all these problems and more and they are fine enough reasons to hate it. It also has its merits and those are fine enough reasons to love it as well. We can’t just deny that these problems exist.
