I hate to be a killjoy, and I'm not trying to bash this movie in particular cos I like it, but I don't really understand why everyone acts like bromances with subtext are so gay positive. I get it's probably still too much to expect mainstream Hollywood to treat a real gay relationship completely positively, especially in a blockbuster movie like Sherlock Holmes, but to me it just seems like they still can't be open about gay relationships so they just throw in a bit of fanservice.

Meh, maybe I'm just a pessimist :/

I feel the same way. It's like, 'look at the subtext! We're totally gay positive! I mean, we'd never *actually* make them gay, but there's definitely subtext! Ain't we awesome?'

To join the 'glass half empty' club...

Yeah. Personally I have no problem with this particular pairing not being written as an openly gay couple because what I love about Holmes/Watson in all versions is just the epic friendship (I'm lame like that). The slash is played up in the movie, clearly, but until anything is actually said out loud about their feelings or either's sexuality then I don't really see how it's an uber "support gay rights" agenda. More just a "these guys are straight - hence love interests - but they're comfortable enough with that to be all close with each other" thang. Not saying that's EXACTLY how they're written to be, ymmv, but it's the way it seems to be played up for general audiences. If they wanted them to be gay then surely they could just let them be gay and no shame in being open about it. *shrug*

Yeah, I feel bad because OP evidently got something positive out of the movie, but I'm also glad that there are more people getting pissed off at this. Getting angry is nice when you're not alone!

I was thinking the same thing. I suppose Sherlock could be gay, but they're not a couple, so I don't get why people think they're a good example of a gay couple. It's completely fanservice too.

definitely this.

All the bromance talk put me off seeing the first Sherlock Holmes movie for ages - I'm just so sick of being fobbed off with subtext.
