Because sexuality is fluid and not binary, if John is straight and has romantic feelings for Sherlock that are not sexual why can't Irene have sexual feelings for Sherlock that aren't romantic and express a desire to fuck him because he's brilliant
Because Irene was not sexually attracted to Sherlock acc. to the ACD canon, much less flirting with him every time they had a scene together, I like RDJ's interaction with every other person in the movie but all the eyefucking with their mouths hanging open like they were about to start licking each other's faces was just awkward
Because I like the Magnificent Bastards theory that the whole Sherlock & Irene thing was comeuppance for Mycroft and Moriarty who just thought they knew everything that was going on and really the two of them played big brother and the criminal mastermind like, well, fiddles by taking their mental attraction and making it look like she was falling for him to get her off and help her escape and also in large measure for the lulz
The idea that emotions make you weak is a fallacy that is constantly disproven in the context of the show by the existence of John Watson, and the symbolism of Rachel's Irene being trussed up and hung in a slaughterhouse full of meat with a gag in her mouth was lost on you, you require a phallic sword to set off your alarms
Whatever, anon. BBC!Irene didn't spend her final scenes knocked out by a single madman, she required a whole terrorist cell to take her down, so yeah, she wins
