Thanks!

BBC Sherlock? It sure pops up in some weird places.

I've only really encountered it in One Piece, but that is only to be expected since there's a character in the canon who can actually give a person an instant sex change, and the author/artist has even drawn genderswapped versions of the main characters himself.

I get a bit bothered by the minimal amount of clothing as well. I don't mind the guys wearing more feminine clothes, or even wearing shorts or a short skirt instead of trousers, but some of those fanarts are just ridiculous.

You're welcome.

As I said, it's been a while since I was active in a few of those fandoms, so I don't know what it's like now. But considering the size of the Sherlock fandom, it doesn't surprise me that they have basically every niche, genre and trope covered. I now remember the Merlin fandom had a bit of genderswap as well back in the day.

It's hard to ignore if the artist himself drew genderswaps and the canon includes a character who swaps genders, I guess. Considering I dislike genderswapping a lot, I avoid it, so it really only annoys me if a) a very rare pairing I love has a new fic - but it's genderbent or b) it appears without a warning.

But yeah, some fanart... especially if it's a character where the male version is not very outgoing/flirty and fairly covered up in layers upon layers of fabric and the genderswap comes not only with an incredibly skimpy outfit, but also with a 360° personality change... just no.
