Re: NAYRT

I also feel like part of the change in the dynamic is that, like most versions of Holmes/Watson, it's a brain/brawn dichotomy. Sherlock is the intellectual and John is the muscle. Sherlock is fashionable and dramatic and has pretty hair and plays the violin, John is an ex-soldier with a gun and a temper. So you get into a lot of stereotypes about masculinity and how that's defined and what that (stereotypically) means for who pitches and who catches.

I agree this is often how it's depicted in fanon (and TBH I like that dichotomy). But in canon? Nah. John was depicted as more likely to get in a fight, sure, but Sherlock seemed to have more physical prowess than John did. I always thought it was quite a bad choice, narratively. If Sherlock is a better fighter AND much smarter AND it's his work they're doing all the time, it makes it nearly impossible for John to have a truly active, pivotal, necessary role in the story. But for some reason that never seemed to bother the writers. *sigh*

This part is all true though, and I agree that it does play a role in how people stereotype them, sexually.
