Fannish History Friday: Benedict Cumberbatch Is a Gay Erotic God in China

“Why is the Chinese Internet obsessed with writing gay Sherlock Holmes fanfiction?” is what Liz Carter was wondering as they wrote the article titled “Benedict Cumberbatch Is a Gay Erotic God in China”.

The article was published in November 2013 on ForeignPolicy.com and pondered on the love the Chinese fans have for the Sherlock series and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Cumberbatch is cited as the reason a new wave of Chinese viewers have turned to British television, according to the news site Caijing, calling it “the Sherlock effect”.

On the Internet forum devoted to the star, called Baidu Curly Fu Bar, he is viewed in part as an erotic god. The nickname “Curly Fu” is used to describe Cumberbatch, because of his curly hair and 'Fu' being a shortened transliteration of ‘Holmes’.

He is often depicted in slash fiction featuring his version of Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman’s Watson.

Head on over to Fanlore to learn more about the article and the Chinese view on Cumberbatch.

Cosplay of zhang qiling张起灵 (nickname xiaoge小哥) from dao mu bi ji 盗墓笔记 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles by xu lei, one of the most beloved characters (paper people) in chinese fandoms (the coser is 小杰), and the book was written in 2006 and isn't finished yet and is still being serialized. Chinese fans voted for "which character from books you consider that won't affect your feelings and impression of her/him/them at all, no matter how badly the movie or TV version fails" and "The character that most convinced you they were real", and zhang qiling won the first place. Many book fans think the only successful live-action zhang qiling is cast by xiao yuliang肖宇梁 in Ultimate Note终极笔记.

A navy blue hoodie, black pants, boots, an ancient chinese dao, and a qilin麒麟 tattoo have become his trademark.

The 1997 Science Fiction Convention in Beijing, China. Historically significant as the first scifi convention in Chinese history put together by the China Science Association. It was historically significant as a moment the Chinese fandom, at the time based in Chengdu (China's rocket installion, their equivalent of Houston or the Soviet Cosmodrome) intertwined with science and mathematics fostering state institutions, acquired "critical mass" to the Chinese public.
