13. [SPOILERS for Sherlock]

I am confused. Did you think it was real.....? Because that was the most unbelievable scene ever. It was a string with a dummy in the end.

Are you taking about the possibility of Sherlock and Moriarty? Because Moriarty is dead.

op

[(Anonymous)]

No...?

I don't know how you got that. I know it wasn't 'real'

I mean I'm pissed about the scene's very existence, because it was just stupid teasing, and that it wasn't equal to the one with Molly.

[(Anonymous)]

.. I don't think you understood the secret at all, fellow anon.

[(Anonymous)]

You should be pissed at the blatant double standard between this scene and the one with Molly.

[(Anonymous)]

No Homo.

[othellia]

Yeah, only saw gifsets/summaries so I didn't want to judge too much, but even I was like "ummmm..."

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, because kissing a nice coworker who has helped you a lot and kissing the evil murderer who ruined your life is exactly the same. Don't compare them, a kiss with Molly would be weird because of Sherlock's asexuality, but a kiss with Moriarty is such an impossible stupid nosense, that's why it was treated as a joke.

op

[(Anonymous)]

Believe me, I am pissed about that. Very pissed.

[(Anonymous)]

That scene just made me so angry. It was queerbaiting and awful and OF COURSE they have an overweight "goth" looking girl as the one who came up with it.

If I wasn't done with Sherlock before, that was the last nail in the coffin.

[(Anonymous)]

You know Moffat don't play that slash shit, sis!

[fauxkaren]

That seems almost like Moffat is kind of mocking fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

That episode was written by Mark Gattis, I can understand gay men being annoyed by straight girls fetishizing their sexuality so I'm okay with the way the girl was depicted.

[iceyred]

I thought I was done with this series, but I see I'll have to keep watching if only to see what the fandom is going apeshit about this week.

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

What the fuck is "queerbaiting"? The anti-Moffat fans need all the mocking they can get though. They deserve it.

[misty_anon]

I thought it would have been funnier if Sherlock had gone to kiss Molly in Anderson's retelling of 'how he survived' and Lestrade (who was listening to him) had interrupted with, "What! That wouldn't have happened!" It would have mirrored Anderson's interruption and protest when the slash fan was describing her theory. I loved her annoyed, "It's as valid as yours," reply to Anderson.

john watson shouts “I AM NOT GAY!!” the audience roars in laughter. another vulnerable group of people used as a joke. what ground-breaking writing. why include queer characters when you can just hint at them and make them vehemently defend their heterosexuality instead?

[(Anonymous)]

ITT straight people criticizing the way a queer writer writes queer themes and characters. Never change.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really understand the notion of queerbaiting when the episode was written by an openly gay man. I can't personally tell, because I'm of the wrong gender and sexuality, but I presume that at least some gay men (who think like Mark Gatiss/share his experience) find it funny?

[(Anonymous)]

This and the Molly one was the writers having a friendly joke with the internet. Nothing malicious was intended. They meant it to be humorous, which in sure didn't transfer to the tumblr side of things.

[(Anonymous)]

It's all right. The biggest difference between "ew, queerbaiting!" and "squee, subtext!" is whether or not you're already a fan of the show that's doing it.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought he'd be ali-iiiive! It's so evi-iiiil. I refuse to watch this seawon without a moral support. Moriarty + Sherlock!angst is too much for me.

[(Anonymous)]

You...do realize it was written by a gay guy, right?

[arcadiaego]

As long as you're aware that's what it is, I don't thin there's a problem in still taking what you want from it. That's what we usually have to do anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

huh. queerbaiting? wouldn't it have to be real for it to be queerbaiting? like, the thing with molly was not molly/sherlock shipper baiting. it was a fantasy. (however the later scene where sherlock thanks molly...that would count!) and also, i love slash and i thought that scene was pretty funny and more making fun of the ridiculous theories that people have about how sherlock faked his death while simultaneously making a nod at slash fans, like, ha ha, let's all laugh about the silliness together. i also liked the fat goth girl (she had sass...and come on, anderson is an idiot)...but then, i'm NOT a fat goth girl, so maybe if i were, i'd take more offense? i can't imagine so, but different shoes and all that. and if it was making fun of slash fans, who cares? i personally don't have even the slightest bit of care what the creators of the show think of slash or its fans. in fact, if it were up to me, they wouldn't KNOW about it. so if you want to take that scene as an insult, blame it on the crazies that go to conventions and wave their slash obsession around like it's a national flag.
