*cough*Sherlock Homes fandom*cough*

SOME stories do tackle the sodomy thing, there's a few I read ages back (movie-verse) with Watson worrying like shit over that, hell, even Holmes on occasion (there was a gorgeous Movie-verse comic that sorta played with that), but.....it gets ignored so much. Or that, since the movies are kind of in this weird AU-ish Steampunkish Victorian setting, it's like the authors think the homophobia can be downplayed....because. Maybe?

IDK.

It got weird. Which sucks, cause I LOVE the ones that deal with the IRL homophobia of the time cause it caused DELICIOUS ANGST~

I can kinda understand it in Sherlock Holmes fandom since there's no other way to get around writing about homophobia short of just ignoring the issue and there's plenty of reasons why people might not want to read/write about homophobia, but there's quite a few fics in the Merlin fandom that are historical AUs set in eras which were homophobic which do the same thing, and. :/

If all you want is the Victorian/regency/whatever aesthetic just make it a fantasy universe than looks a bit like Victorian/regency/whatever Britain. Otherwise I end up putting my brain in contortions trying to figure out how a version of Victorian England with no homophobia whatsoever could have developed.
