I want to call troll but at the same time, this is about the level of delusion that most mystrade shippers possess

This is not trolling. This is just the Sherlock fandom. It's been my primary fandom for four years, I can spot it's particular brand of deluded from a mile off.

Anon, the fact that Mycroft and Lestrade have officially, canonically met, is so not shipper baiting, and your logic for why it is is bizarre. "Gatiss has written gay porn so he knows about Mystrade"??? He probably does know about Mystrade because six dozen over-zealous fans have probably told him about Mystrade, but the fact that he writes gay porn has nothing to do with it. You think his interest in gay porn is so intense that he goes out and researches all the different kinds of gay porn people write about the shows he writers for? That is very unlikely.

Okay, Moffat is a huge troll who seems to enjoy tormenting the fans. But he also seems to be the kind of creator who has a stick up his arse about how sex comes into his stories. Far from baiting people to ship non-canonical pairings, he tends to make fun of people for doing so, and ultimately puts obstacles in their way to discourage them from shipping anything he doesn't approve of. So if anything, he probably gave Mycroft and Lestrade a scene together with the deliberate intention of making it, as you say, "anticlimactic," thinking he could quash the ship by doing so.

...Am I supposed to believe you're the actual OP?

Yeah? I'm sure there's no one thinking that two characters meeting counts as a 'baiting'. Sorry if I sounded short, I really liked your comment. And I admit that their meeting was anti-climatic and maybe that's what the creators were going for.

Sorry to break it to you, but there's a whole bunch of people thinking that. Your troll secret is indistinguishable from a bunch of people's honest opinions. :(
