Secret 6 - Sherlock (BBC TV series), John Watson (character), Martin Freeman (actor)

[Picture is Sherlock Holmes, as portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, and John Watson, as portrayed by Martin Freeman, from the BBC TV series "Sherlock".]

All of John's pathetic, homophobic 'I'm not gay how dare you' protestations make me really really dislike him. I'm not sure if it's partially because Freeman's such an asshole in real life, or because I've never seen anyone in fandom who doesn't adore John, but I really don't have any more patience for all his shit.

I'll still watch season 3 because I'm bad at letting things go unfinished, but I can't love the show as much as I wish I could and it's frustrating.

I can't even like the fic as much as I want to. In gen fic he's always characterized as perfect - his canon homophobia conveniently forgotten or excused - and in slash he's almost always either openly and comfortable gay or bisexual (which is Out Of Character as hell, I just can't buy it) or Still Really Straight But Magically Turned Gay For You, (which doesn't usually bother me if it's written well, just with this character I can't take it.)

I thought those jokes were just digs at the century-old assumption of gayness between the two.
