And you know what I hate?

A person can be a fan of Sherlock Holmes if they've only watched the BBC show or the new movies or Elementary, and even if those shows don't inspire them to read the books or watch Granada, they're still fans.

Fans of the shows, sure. Fans of 'Sherlock Holmes' when the shows/films are really not very much like the source material? Actually, no. If it's elitist to point that out, then I am and I don't care. It has nothing to do with "length of time" one has been in a fandom. It has everything to do with derivations being so far from the original they have pretty much just pinched the idea or the names and run with it - which they can do, sure but you might as well say that a fan of The Lion King is a Shakespeare enthusiast. Exaggeration for effect.

Fan handwaving and "ooh, anyone who disagrees something is canon is an elitist" frustrates me to no end.
