What Johnlock Conspiracy is this?

IIRC, people who think Johnlock is going to be canon endgame on Sherlock

there's more to it than that obv but that's the basis

So... shippers? That's the conspiracy? People shipping?

Oh. Right. That.

It didn't ruin anything for me, but it is without question one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, lol

And more heinously.... http://failfandomanonwiki.pbworks.com/w/page/95246807/Sherlock%20221b%20Con%20Wank

(I don't know what to accurately warn for with this, but it's some pretty nasty stuff IMHO)

Wow. According to that I'm shipping John and Sherlock wrong. ::massive eye roll:: Good grief. I'm glad I never got heavily into fandom spaces. It would have killed my enjoyment of the show with its toxins.

I cannot thank you enough for these links :D I'll be amused for hours!

I'm still amazed that so many of these people got away with it all that nasty awful bullying with little to no repercussions to their actions whatsoever.
There is so justice.

I'm not in this fandom but I heard of that fandom spectacle of Johnlock shippers who crashed a convention panel to shame some people and brought someone to tears. Later revealed they were massive hypocritical bullies.

That pencil graphic is very amusing, OP.

what the frick frack snick snack?

i'm really out of the loop

da

so glad I gave up on it years ago

I haven't been in Sherlock fandom in a long time, but I just ignore those sort of people as best as possible. (Not so much people who are convinced the ship is going to be endgame because...as much as I don't believe that, it's a harmless enough belief to hold as long as they don't harass other people for not agreeing with it, but the people who DO take it too far, yea, those should be avoided.)

It was easy enough back in the day, but things might be different now.

It's not some lone crazy shipper though. The main BNFs of Team TJLC are the ones doing the harassing. The ones spearheading the TJLC campaign are the ones creating the toxic atmosphere and that causes it to be kind of difficult to ignore.

100000000000% agree. I left the fandom the moment season 3 ended in January '14.

Edited 2015-07-25 00:06 (UTC)

I haven't been in the fandom since S2, but somehow I had hoped that most people would have lost interest by now, gone to be crazy in other fandoms... Apparently not.

saaaaaame

i'm just glad the crazy is contained, rather than spreading to other fandoms

(though, i have noticed more recently a trend of people dogpiling on others perceived as shipping 'underage' ships even when the context of that shipping is with aged up characters.)

This is why I avoid getting into huge fandoms like Sherlock. The drama and wank is always so much bigger. It's stressful to be involved in that, although somewhat interesting to watch from the sidelines.

I know it's fun to joke about ships becoming canon when they have no real chance, but when people act like it's some kind of conspiracy then it's just embarrassing.

Same. I actually really like the show-- it's not Holmes perfected by any means, but I like the portrayals, and despite the writing getting unbearably smug at times (a Moffat staple), I find it really entertaining. I even ship John and Sherlock quite a bit!

But hoooooo-ho-holy shit the TJLC crowd is a level of batshit that put me so far off that I had to completely detach from the fandom in order to enjoy the show still. They're such mean people (lord help you if you ship John or Sherlock with anyone else, for any reason-- or even ship John/Sherlock the wrong way), and I mean...I like meta. I do! But to call the meta they come up with "stretching" is...putting it extremely lightly.

It's just such a toxic echo chamber, I had to get out of it. I'm much happier on this side of it, even still being a fan of the show.

Have you seen the latest "drink code" one? Supposedly coffee represents one thing and tea another and alcohol something else, and milk yet another thing . . . I mean, I'm just a rubbernecker, I have no idea how one can be so far down the rabbit hole that it actually makes sense (and I'm a huge fan and I know the show well enough to see where the giant holes are, and they are legion).

I left it because Gatiss all but admitted they were deliberately queerbaiting.

And Moffat has admitted several times to being a die-hard Sherlock/Irene shipper. Scandal was even a re-write to 'fix' what he thought was wrong with the ending of TPLOSH with Holmes not being able to rescue his female love interest.
