Please don't be unutterably stupid. ACD wrote SIGN when Holmes was still a little known character about whom almost no-one cared except a few favourable critics and a willing publisher who asked him to write a second story to follow STUD. There WAS no 'view of Holmes as possibly gay' to be counteracted. He married Watson off to have a nice little resolution to what he thought would be the final story of Holmes.


This secret could only have been written by a 'fan' of the newer adaptations [BBC most likely] desperate to erase Mary in service of "canon Johnlock" and who knows absolutely nothing about Doyle, the original stories or their context but has heard and believed some post on tumblr that that's what Doyle *must* have been doing. Probably thinks it has something to do with the Oscar Wilde trial as well. (hint: the dates are way off, not that facts ever got in the way of TJLC mob's theories).

I love how the RDJ adaption is literally the entire photo of the secret and you still had to turn it around to shit on the BBC adaption's fans. Like, it's a fandom I won't touch with a ten-foot pole, but come on. You're being ridiculous.

It's the kind of thing they pull all the time, though. You can't deny it. Using a Ritchieverse pic is just about trying to make it "period".
