UGH I AM SO SICK OF "HOW CANON THIS IS" I just want to enjoy a fanon ship, jeez fandom. :|

[kaijinscendre]

The worst fandoms for that are Supernatural and Sherlock. Sherlock/John shippers have gotten particularly aggressive recently.

[nan]

I'm not in either of those fandoms but I've heard terrible things about both. :\

[(Anonymous)]

Series 3 of Sherlock was the cause of that. I am still left wondering if the creators did it deliberately because they are really so enamoured of the tweeny little fannits, or because they are terrified of them. (Didn't the kids chase Moffat off Twitter at one point or smth?)

If they had gone back in the direction they started out in with A Study in Pink, the gross migratory (predatory? seems like they destroy every fandom they're in, and salt the earth for good measure) slash fandom would have moved on and found another shiny toy to pick apart. And the rest of us might have had something decently engaging to watch.

...maybe in a parallel universe?

[(Anonymous)]

At least you're admitting that Moffat and Gatiss are queerbaiting. Some people can't even do that.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Eh? I've seen the term hurled 1000 times by SJWs and I still don't know what it means. I'm just curious as to whether or not they actually did sell out to the delusional lowest common denominator purely for the money, or if they wrote the hot mess that is 110% fanfic series 3 because they were legitimately afraid there would be actual backlash if they didn't.

[(Anonymous)]

I hope the delusional lowest common denominator turns out to be right just because of you, kitten! Although you're correct in that they're delusional if they think Johnlock is actually going to happen on the BBC.

[(Anonymous)]

queerbaiting = somebody (usually the creator/showrunner of a TV series), teasing fans with a slash pairing all the while knowing the show will never make that pairing canon.

At least that's what this non SJW non - Tumblrite has been able to figure it means.

[(Anonymous)]

Queerbaiting = strong same-sex subtext without any intention of putting it into actual canon and feeling that's enough for representation.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. When did the 'canon' thing become so popular? I stepped out of fandom in general for a couple of years and when I came back, everyone was fixated on their ship being canon. It makes me miss the days when no one really expected show acknowledgement.

[nan]

Yessss. I desperately want the fourth wall rebuilt.

[(Anonymous)]

This, so much this. I don't want to see the selfies of your chichi expensive lunch, Twitter celebs. I actually don't really care one way or the other about you as a person.

[(Anonymous)]

This means you, Cumberbatch!

[(Anonymous)]

And all those ridic creaming-themsleves shots of him leaping in the air behind people. Childish, him and them both.

[(Anonymous)]

I like that Jump photo. idek

[(Anonymous)]

Having a ship "legitimated" by canon has always been a thing for a large subset of fandom, though. It's just that until recently, the only people seeking canon validation were het shippers, because the (fem-)slashers knew better than to hope for actual queer relationships in mainstream media. Can't say I mind that changing, even if it has created some unpleasant side-effects.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with you there, I have always found comfort in having non-canon pairings, non-canon means you do not have to conform to what canon shows of the pairing.

[(Anonymous)]

There is a valley between "this ship is an amazing idea, aww look there's even a couple cute bits in the canon" and "meta post #298 on why this ship is the whole reason the series exists" where good ships go to die awful deaths.
