And I hate women in the military! Also, I love all female characters only because they are women! That's why I support Joan Watson! Not because I support an attempt to give a woman a role that they have been traditionally excluded from! And certainly not because I think more visibility in media for women of color is a good thing!
How did you find me out?

Are you posting after taking your Ambien again??

Though I think original anon was being pretty unfair to fauxkaren to begin with.

also I'm not arguing about this here BECAUSE IT WAS YESTERDAY, THE POST IS STILL THERE TO ARGUE IN, but I have to laugh at anyone who thinks that Watson's military service is ~A CRUCIAL PART OF THE CHARACTER~ There were like one or two throwaway mentions of it in the original ACD novels and it had zero to do with Watson as a character in any way. It's just been played up in recent adaptations -- especially, and suspiciously, the BBC one -- because it is cool and gives woobie Watson a chance to experience PTSD.
"Sherlock Holmes experts" around here sure do have a very selective memory that seems to skip right over anything that isn't Cumberbatch and that other guy :333
Anyway, the furious tears are delicious, simply delicious, and I welcome them for years to come. and in before locked.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-11 03:32 am (UTC)(link)I personally think it is played up because of the recent war in Afghanistan. It's a pretty clear correlation between that and the war in the books and explains his having a firearms license (or not. I'm pretty sure Watson wasn't supposed to have a gun in ACD but still had it from his time in the military).

(Anonymous) 2012-07-11 12:01 am (UTC)(link)I mean would you like me to say shit like "Hey you posting without taking your meds again?"
no subject
LMAO have you ever taken Ambien? Us merry band of brothers often lament how we end up browsing on it because of the posts that result. Calm yourself.
Maybe you need to TAKE YOUR KLONOPIN
*POKES THE WASP NEST, POKES IT*

Now my mental tag for you in future posts.

Not to say that you don't have the objection to it for that reason, but most of the vitriol I've seen is based on the fact that Lucy Liu somehow removes the gay from Sherlock/Watson and oh god a woman, let alone a POC woman getting in the way of our queer baiting programming!
I'm waiting to see how the lack of military history plays out. It'd have been nice to see an example of a WOC solider on the television and I am curious as to why they felt to make the switch, but I'm not going to cast it out completely.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-11 02:07 am (UTC)(link)The thing you have to remember is that for some of us we aren't just comparing this to Sherlock. We're comparing this to all the different Holmes adaptions and going "but why is the military background suddenly gone when its a woman Watson?"
And maybe you need to hang out in different places? Because most of objections I've seen and heard have been about them radically changing Watson's history in a way that's sort of insulting. The only time I see the "But ewww a girl" stuff is from people defending Elementary.

I think it's hard on both sides of people that are reasonable to continue to recognize reasonable arguments when they're bombarded with ridculous ones.

Depressing, though, that I thought it could have been real, don't you think? :(
