God this sibling rivalry between two parts of the fandom really is tiresome. I can only imagine how much the rest of the fandom (Granada or any of the hundred other versions, or for that matter those who stick with ACD) are rolling their eyes at it.

If you have a favorite that's fine. It really, truly is! You got lots of company! I'm a BBC fan and I love the new movies as well! I'll happily squee about the new movie with you.

But, Jesus, you don't have to be so passive aggressively smug about it.

It sounds like you're the only one being passive-aggressive about it.

The OP has obviously tried to get into the series and couldn't. No big deal. But don't pretend there aren't people in either fandom who treat fans of the "other team" like shit. Hell, I'm a fan of BBC Sherlock and even I'll admit that the fandom has a tendency to be ridiculously aggressive and superior towards those who prefer the movies over the BBC series.

Yes she tried to get into it, but she just couldn't. Why couldn't it be like the thing she did love.

It's the same kind of PA that leads people to demand you explain why you love your ship, because they just can't get it. The "what is wrong with you" is kind of implied. Along with the "my show is so much better, why can't you see that." Or those people who claim to be persecuted because they only like het, implying that evil slashers will come after her with pitchforks if she doesn't join the group think.

But the thing is, the OP doesn't need to love BBC Sherlock as much as Guy Richie's. No one is making her. No one cares.

People treating the other side like shit goes both ways, and I really wish it would quit. It's a stupid rivalry, that honestly, the OP doesn't have to help keep going.

Yep, you're definitely passive-aggressive.

Or tallking sense that doesn't suit you.
