Sorry, Cumberbitches.

Well, they're about that age where it was to be expected of people who want kids.

Dude, I've seen nothing but well-wishes and happiness for them.

i thought he was supposed to be ugly and therefore unsuitable for breeding????

have i read fandom wrong????????

I hope his wife's genes are strong...

ok, I'll bite. The topic is offensive (breed?!), 'Cumberbitches' is offensive and the whole Sherlock talk here is simply depressing today.

You know that most fans don't call themselves that. After BC said that it doesn't sound nice, this's used mostly by haters

Thanks for this. Between this and another board I'm on where the game for THE LAST FUCKING YEAR has been to make up stupid versions of Cumberbatch's name, I'm sick to death of people being assholes about the guy. I like him as an actor, he seems a reasonably good guy, and the haters and mockers are just fucking tiresome.

I'm not even a huge fan of the guy, but the constant picking at him seems to be making me like him better!

People are always going to bag on people who are extremely talented and successful. I'm sure cumberbun doesn't mind, he doesn't strike me as somebody who has a fragile sense of self-worth.

no. it's because he's super popular right now and constantly shoved into your face by fangirls in fandom spaces. also, he's funny looking so that doesn't help make it easier to ignore.

making up random variations on the name is all good fun IMO.

"Cumberbitch" isn't really. It's not supposed to fit into the fun game, it's supposed to be mean.

It's all good fun, in an eight-year-old way, for maybe six months. At this point I can't go to that other board and talk about "The Imitation Game" because I know the thread will get derailed by increasingly lame jokes about his name. Eight-year-olds would have realized the joke is played out by now.

I'm glad you liked it, I wasn't sure if I should reply, tbh. I mean, the anti-CB people don't anoy me. I lol every time at "BC is ugly" threds. Why him? Is it the name? :D

He does seem like a nice guy! He's so funny. And he comes to work when he doesn't have to because he's nice and he promised to help out. (it was in some interview)

Thank you. I'm a fan of Sherlock and Cumberbatch, but I stay very quiet around here about that due to the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the fact. :(

It's a thing on fs, yeah. It's just that the wording here rubbed me the wrong way. =/

+4 or whatever.

OP is just being gross on several accounts.

haha, 4 is a crowd!

Good for them!

Who cares?

I don't understand. Is it only real now because there will be a child?

To the diehard fans that disillusion themselves with a chance at him?

Probably no, since now they'll be wishing for an early divorce...

See: The J2 Tinhatters.

kids tend to really throw the wrench in tinhatters' works.

However, I get the sense that with the Cumberbatch drama, the tinhatting and/or obsessive creepy fangirling is mostly made up - not a lot of people actually doing it.

It really is like this. The tinhatters/super creepy fangirls are such a ridiculously tiny minority (like genuinely, honestly, I watch all the tags and I've seen...three? three assholes like that), they're almost not worth mentioning-- but that doesn't make for interesting reading, so articles get written making the fandom out to be insane. And everyone else just runs with it. It's horribly disheartening.

I've noticed that in other actors' fandoms as well-- something happens, discussion boards start talking about how Actor A's crazy fans are wigging out on Tumblr... and over on the actor's tag on Tumblr there is zero drama. I can't decide if a whole lot of people are easily shocked, or if they're so determined to look down on someone they make stuff up and persuade themselves it happened.

What, like horses?
