Oh my god, THANK YOU. It's so weird and irrational, the way many people react as soon as some fandom nutjob makes a death threat. Like, most of these major fandoms have thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people in them. How is it a surprise that somewhere in that crowd of thousands of people - all of whom are operating in the weird empathy-distorting realm that is the internet - there are a couple of people who are mean and unstable and trollish enough to anonymously inform an actor that they wish she'd drop dead?

That's not weird, and it doesn't point to some character failing of a fandom. It's par for the course. You could take a random selection of several thousand people from anyway, and I'm willing to bet you'll find that far more than merely a couple of people from that selection will have made death threats on the internet. It sucks, but it's not surprising and it doesn't in any way make that particular group of thousands stand out from the rest of the population, character-wise or morality-wise.

And also, as you say, the majority of the Sherlock fandom was all fucking over those assholes who made the death threats. There were a few months there where you literally couldn't say a bad word about Mary Morstan without risking bringing the wrath of the fandom down upon you, that's how strong the backlash against those assholes was.
