The whiniest fandom in the history of fandoms

[save-benedict]

Apparently if you have opinion, it can be screen capped and ridiculed. Suddenly there are a bunch of blogs dedicated to this one thing. Not just posting photos and hearts of our ‘couple’ but spending a lot of time taking snapshots of what other people say to just refute in a vacuum. Your cowardly posts aren’t going to make me stop voicing an opinion nor will it make me believe they are anything but fucked up. But I guess everyone needs a hobby and taxidermy can be a bit more expensive than harassing a bunch of people.

Bit rich coming from someone whose entire blog is dedicated to "discussing BC’s love life” and ridiculing his wife...

Putting it out there. I think pregnancy is lovely and pregnant women are beautiful. Not sure when everyone decided otherwise, or more likely when they decided to say awful shit just because of who is pregnant. It’s so…archaic.

To turn on other women over a guy is just

No, not even over a guy. It’s not a battle to win. He’s never going to be with a fan.

Pregnancy is lovely when you are not looking like a skeleton and appear to be losing more and more weight with each passing photo, being “dragged” to endless events despite of this, bypassing medical guidelines and company rules for a PR shot, transatlantic and other long haul flights, especially to areas with limited medical equipment for emergency prenatal and neonatal issues, and the big one……not drinking while you’re preggo. Oh honey, if you think this is about a guy, you are so naive and helpless. It is and always has been the PR end of it. However talking to you Nannies is like talking to this girl

It. Just. Doesn’t. Compute.

Hi I looked at some photos of a pregnant woman on the Internet once and now I know that she is not naturally slim, has had a complicated pregnancy making it unsafe for her to fly, there are no hospitals in Tahiti, the drink she was having in one of the photos was definitely alcoholic and she is only with her husband for the money.

This photo looks like she’s breaking his hand and enjoying it.

It's called "holding hands", a common gesture of affection among romantic couples.

I was stalking your blog and I saw that there was a thing on how "fandom-shaming" is just teenagers whining. Well, yes, normally it is, but the wave of hate towards people who like Supernatural was legit fandom-shaming that was a legit problem. I COMPLETELY AGREE, I'm just putting that out there.

Oh, which thing? It was so long ago that I updated this blog that I don’t even remember and I am sure I have changed my view on a few things as well. Afraid I’ve never really witnessed any first hand shaming of SPN fans so I can’t really say anything about that, but thank you for pointing it out!

Sophie Hunter: *takes off coat*

Tumblr: Oh my god! Did anyone see that? She didn't wear a coat at a public event! She is definitely so ridiculous! Her husband definitely looks like he's ashamed of her!

Your most recent post about Cumberbatch and his fiancee. YES. OMG someone finally said it. YES. They look so fake, rumor has it she got pregnant on purpose because who is she, really? A nobody, except she has fame now...

On purpose? I hope not, because it would be disgusting. And how he seemed to really want children… a wanting that I don’t understand. But yeah, she was not famous, she is a director but what she really did? I know she played in Burlesque Fairytales and that’s it. I hope I am wrong. But this is too quick. It rarely ends well.

The set visit seals the deal for me. Thought something was off from the get-go with the engagement but stayed on the fence until now. Showing up for 10mins on the VERY FIRST day with a handler (poor Emily!) ? If that's not PR then I don't know what is. But who knows, she might be there to make a cameo on Sherlock's coattails. Life imitating art....

Man’s fiancée shows up at his work??? Must be PR conspiracy????

[deggsbenedish]

I'm so sick and tired of Sophie Hunter. Why is she showing up everywhere all of a sudden? Is this overcompensating for having to hide her for so long? I'm tired of looking at pictures of award shows or Sherlock filming and having to be assaulted with her smug, ugly face and dumpster fashion sense. I thought she was busy with her super serious theatre/opera career, anyway?

She hasn’t worked since she got together with BC as far as we know.

"Why is this engaged couple spending time together??” Anonymous asked, nay, yelled at deggsbenedish. A few droplets of saliva sprayed out of their mouth.

"I don’t know", deggsbenedish said, as they lowered the phone from their ear. "Sophie hasn’t been at work for the past six months. I just called her employer".

Anonymous stared in disbelief. “So this means- This means that every time I want to google up some photos of her fiancé, every time my phone buzzes with a news article about him…She- She is going to be in it as well? His soon to be wife? Why would she be there?? Why isn’t she hiding from the cameras? Does anyone know how assaulted this makes me feel?”

Amanda as Mary Morstan who (spoiler) it turned out wasn't Mary but I'm kinda wanting to try and distance myself from the more...hateful parts of the Sherlock fandom. Recently a few tumblr users were hating on Amanda and telling her that they didn't want to see her in anymore Sherlock episodes and it ended up on my dash because one of my followers stuck up for her. I'm just starting to lose my faith in this fandom!

Sometimes I feel that some people should try to lay off their very strong misogynistic feelings about actresses who happen to have played the wrong fictional character at the wrong time and just enjoy what they claim to be their favourite show.

Recently I've lost a friend over multiple things, one being Sherlock. I love Sherlock so much. But my friend hates MLP, so when they saw I had drawn a silly MLP Sherlock crossover they said I should die, didn't deserve Sherlock, and basically wouldn't leave me alone about it. They also constantly told me to shut up whenever I talked about Sherlock's past, how he got like he is, whether he cares more than he lets on, e.c.t e.c.t. Sorry but I needed to get that of my chest.

I hope since you sent this ask you have moved on from such a childish and horrible friend and surrounded yourself with nice people who wouldn't tell you to die for drawing a picture of a television character as a pastel coloured horse because you deserve that.

I want to update this blog but I don't know where to start.

I don't understand why people even bother with hate .-. Isn't it a million times easier just to sit back, re-watch your favourite parts or read and/or write fanfiction to sate your JohnLock (or who/whatever else) addiction than to sit in front of a screen typing about how much you hate "Elementary" or "Sherlock" or "Mary Morstan"? I mean, seriously. (I'll be continuing this in a moment.)

TV shows were created for several reasons. a. Because the writers WANTED TO. b. Because people love Sherlock. c. FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF THOSE WHO WISH TO ENJOY IT. Seriously. Why can’t people just enjoy it. Find some people who share your views and SHARE YOUR VIEWS WITH THEM. Don’t hate on the people who don’t agree just because they DON’T AGREE. I happen to adore both Sherlock and Elementary, and it just shocks me that people compare them because they’re both brilliant.

The production for both, the actors cast, the music and the plot… I love them for both shows, and the writers for both have done a brilliant job. I love that they’ve made Watson a female in Elementary. I also love that Sherlock set his violin on fire in the second episode. I also love that Sherlock fans (while I, myself, am also a big fan) think “Bored!”, and the fact that Sherlock wears coats and scarves, are products of Gatiss and Moffat… I think Doyle deserves some credit…

I mean, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle CREATED THE DAMN SERIES. Honestly, the majority of Sherlock-isms belong to him, not Gatiss or Moffat or the creators of Elementary or any of the others Sherlock variations. We’re forgetting WHO we have to thank for Sherlock Holmes. I have to agree; Sherlockians are the whiniest fandom ever. Though, Directioners come pretty close (for the sake of a completely unrelated subject). Why can’t people just enjoy the show? Sincerely, Maddie.

A lot of fandoms are probably pretty whiny in their own ways, but yes, the bottom line is if it’s not valid/deserved criticism of the show in itself, I just don’t get where people find the energy to write about how much they hate something or someone for like, the strangest reasons, if any reason at all. Thanks for this post Maddie!

I will disregard the hate passed onto my fellow shippers for the simple fact that losing my temper would make me no better than everyone else having panic attacks here.

I do fervently ship Johnlock, more than I can express. They're best friends, they understand one another so perfectly, and I just want them to be happy with one another 24/7 and to always be there for one another.

This does not make me hate Mary. In fact, I quite like her spunk and adore her for helping John out when he was in a dark place. If he ended up with her at the end of everything, that would be fine. I just don't want him to abandon Sherlock.

Now, if Johnlock happened in canon, I'd be a helluva lot happier than the opposing option. If it does not, I will dry my tears and read some fanfiction. No problem. No hate.

Hi, I'm the anon who made the 3 years comment. Just wanted to clear up that I have read the books, so I do know how many years passed in the stories and show, but I have seen people on my dash complaining that the fans themselves have had to wait three years for the show. I might have misinterpreted, obviously!

No worries! It’s not that significant anyway. And hopefully we won’t have to wait another two years until the next series come out. :)

[messagestothesherlockfandom-blog]

Sherlock is not exact science, the show has inaccuracies (such as it's definition of psychopath and sociopath) and trying to argue that it is exact science makes you look like a dumbass. I knew one girl that gave up studying chemistry for her GCSEs (important exams for those who live in Britain) because she said Sherlock could teach her chemistry. Need I go on?

(God, I really wish they would just stop throwing around psychopathy and sociopathy as if they were interchangeable or applicable to anyone who just slightly diverts from the accepted norm.)

Anyway yeah, you’re right. Even the writers acknowledge that the deductions are often built up on inaccuracies and their own imagination. I didn’t even know people actually argued that it is exact science…

Dislike of a female character or a preference for M/M ships does not equal misogyny. It does not automatically give you an aversion to seeing uteri on screen.

[messagestothesherlockfandom-blog]

"Not everyone in the Sherlock fandom hates Mary Morstan, it's just the slashers!" Getting reaaal tired of infinite varieties of that statement.

Ah yes, if you enjoy slash or ship a slash couple, you're automatically a misogynist. Everyone knows this. Reversely, it is only possible to be against Mary if you ship slash; everyone else are clean.
