ASiB was written by Moffat. And the bromance and slashy subtext scenes aren't progressive, no matter what fans think. If Sherlock and Watson actually entered a relationship, that would be progressive and then the Sherlock stans could go about their show being holier than thy adaption.

And just because Gatiss is a co-creator doesn't mean that Sherlock can't have more homophobic vibes than a show that doesn't have a gay showrunner.

This; the fact that they've flat out admitted that while there's not going to be a homosexual relationship but they're going to tease it for fanservice is not progressive.

Are you serious? Damn, if I've ever needed a reason not to watch something, that would be it. They want teenage girls to fetishize gay men? And one of them is gay himself and should realize how insulting that is?

I...just...I...wow.

I have a teen relative who is a Sherlock fan, and I've seen online conversations between her and her friends about how much they love that aspect of it, it really appeals to them that Cumberbatch and Freeman are cool about the slash.

I think in fact Moffat and Gatiss know exactly what they are doing.

The largest part of the fandom started out family-friendly and slash-free, where a lot of us were and are fans of the source material, first and foremost. Just like the creators of the show claim[ed] to be. I don't think anyone imagined in our worst nightmares they would start actually listening to the yapping of the crazy teenagers on the Internet. You can clearly see the progression of them catering more and more to the insane demographic, from Pink all the way through Belgravia, and by the time it hit Baskerville, canon was already defenestrated, and the fans who had never picked up even ONE of the books, were in their glory over "their" show that showed them everything THEY wanted to see.

Now it looks like even that choice has come back to bite them! Now the Internet is yapping about the leads being racist and classist and this-ist and that-ist etc-ist and sending MF's wife death threats. Looks like pandering to that demographic was NOT their wisest decision because even that has turned on them now.

TL;DR If they stuck closer to the books instead of moving further away from them they might get the rest of us sane people to start watching their show again. Maybe? Maybe that was not the problem at all IDK.

I really liked Pink though. It is a shame the other episodes were not as close to the canon.

So Sherlock has devolved into a more literary version of Supernatural? Thank God I never got involved in its fandom, then.
