DA I disagree that fandom skews young and pretty, I mean think about how large the Sherlock fandom was for a time.

And how many young girls were into Snape (and movie Snape, who is considerably older.)

Sure there are going to be your "youths" that don't see it and prefer Teen Wolf or what have you. But I've honestly never seen any lack of old man and not conventionally attractive slash.

(Plus one of the actors in this secret has already been in a popular slash pairing...)

The Sherlock actors are young, though? Both leads were under 40 when the show began in 2010 (BC 34 - MF 39)*; and as we just saw from our age thread, there are quite a lot of people 30+ in fandom.

*Tangentially, I was amused to learn that both leads in Elementary are older (JLM 40 - LL 44 at Elementary's 2012 premiere).

I mostly said Sherlock because of the "unattractive" aspect since the claim was about young and pretty. I also feel like they both look a lot older then they are (the Elementary actors do look a lot younger to me...)

I think if you're saying Timothy Omundson is "old" then you could make the same claim about Martin Freeman since Freeman is only a bit younger.

I mean I don't think any of them are old, but this is based around the secret which may have been coming more from a perspective of interacting with the young portion of fandom. There are teenagers who crush on the Supernatural actors and call them middle aged so that portion of fandom does exist.
