It really was fascinating to live through. A real cultural & generational clash, between old white male writers who couldn't imagine making Johnlock real and probably didn't understand how wrong queerbaiting was, and a viewership that was so ready for it that they couldn't believe any creator who loved the property as much as they did would make fun of it with the queerbaiting.

One of the two show writers is a gay man with a husband who lived through the AIDS crisis and remembers when gay sex was ILLEGAL in the UK though. It's not that he "couldn't imagine it." It's that he never meant to write it into this show.

"Old white male" does not necessarily imply "straight." Mark Gatiss definitely isn't.

Why did he not want to write it in? I don't know, but it's not because he's afraid of gay stuff or oblivious to it. As an actor he's been in other shows with really explicit gay content, like London Spy.

Your point about shipping is valid but Mark Gatiss was a toddler when homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK.
