"but since most people crying foul over this are straight people then I find it hard to agree that this stuff is homophobic and as terribly offensive to gay men as they try to make it sound."

Well here's one non straight person who also thinks it's bullshit. I agree that it's hardly the worst sort of homophobia they could be perpetuating, but it's still fucking irritating.

People are so quick to yell 'oh shut up you're just butthurt about your ship,' when it's more than that - though unfortunately a lot of people do only care about the shipping.

The real problem with it is that people who think being gay is something to be laughed at are having their views validated by all those jokes. The casual viewer has no idea what goes on on the internet, doesn't know about 'shipping' or 'meta jokes' or that people have theorised and debated about Holmes/Watson for decades. They just watch the show and laugh at how awful it is for these poor straight guys to keep getting called gay. Laugh at the idea that the heroic male leads could be anything but straight. It's not the worst sort of homophobia out there. But it's not funny either.
