10. [SPOILERS for Sherlock]

Then just don't read it...?

I would but its on my dash literally ALL THE TIME and I cant download anything on my computer that would let me blacklist it

It isn't the fact she is female. It is the fact that she got between John and Sherlock. A portion of Sherlock fans are convinced that Johnlock is going to be canon. And they will hate anyone who gets in their way.

It is sort of like how hardcore wincest shippers hate hardcore destiel shippers (and vice versa).

[(Anonymous)]

Except I have yet to meet a Wincest shipper who actually believes Wincest will be canon. It's more like how hardcore Destiel shippers hated Charlie or that one clerk chick or w/e (or anybody who potentially gets between Destiel).

[(Anonymous)]

You mean you don't think that one of these days the boys will look around at the barren, post-apocalyptic wasteland that seems to be inevitable, shrug, and say "Might as well fuck?"

[akacat]

I like her, but she's pretty much a psychopath. I'm not sure what Sherlock is playing at, but he has to know she didn't make any particular effort to make her shot non-lethal, and I doubt she called an ambulance. In the long run, John will be better off without her.

[(Anonymous)]

He's keeping his friends close and his enemies closer with her.

IF it’s your contention that Mary shot Sherlock to kill him,

WHEN Sherlock deduced that she purposefully chose a non-fatal shot and that she called 999 even before John did; and, though the text occasionally tells us that Sherlock has got a deduction wrong, it never does this time,

THEN, for your argument to be persuasive and not just an irrational persecution of a character you don’t like for some reason that isn’t difficult to deduce, you better be prepared with other examples of Sherlock’s deductions that you believe he got wrong without the text telling us.

[(Anonymous)]

And Sherlock is, of course, all kinds of admirable and so very good for John?

YeahhhhhhhNO.

[saturnofthemoon]

It doesn't help that she "comes between" one of the most popular ships of all time. That said, I'm sick of it too.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god -- I know that's not what you meant with the quotes, but now I've got a Sherlock/Mary/John threesome scenario playing out in my head.
And I like it.

[caerbannog]

I bet transcript!anon is so glad they're away/on hiatus/gone hahaha.

[silverr]

I agree entirely, OP ( though I don't tumble). They made clear that when she shot him she knew exactly what she was doing.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of those posts are pretty tragic. Not liking a character is one thing, but trying to tell everyone else that they should also hate them is a bit much...

[elaminator]

You know, when this season was airing I actually saw a lot of positive responses to Mary. And lots of interest in Mary/John/Sherlock. I thought that was pretty cool (even though I'm not usually into OT3's, and don't really ship this particular one) because I thought Mary was a great character, but I guess that positive reception of Mary didn't stick around. That's unfortunate.

[(Anonymous)]

As a Sherlock fan, I think part of the Mary hate is just backlash because she was portrayed as so awesome in the first two episodes and then just-- wow. In the first two, she was exactly the type of character that everybody could like, no matter what they shipped. She supported John and Sherlock and encouraged them to spend time together so she didn't bother the Johnlock shippers, and even was close enough to Sherlock that she DID create strong support for an OT3, and she was funny/interesting enough to keep those who were just watching for the cases and shenanigans and not shipping at all happy. It was win-win.

That being said, the third episode was either poorly written, or there's a lot that is going to come out in S4. Personally, I'm hoping it's the latter. I think a lot of people are hoping for that, hence the Mary-hate. It makes no logical sense that Mary had to "perform surgery"-- couldn't she have shot him in the leg? Knocked him out? Just let him be,explain the situation and get his help? Any of those options was better than what she actually did (combined with the subsequent threats if Sherlock revealed her secret to John). If the writers wanted to make the viewers sympathetic to Mary's plight, they could have come up with many, MANY other scenarios. She did not have to be a for-hire assassin; she did not have to shoot Sherlock.

It isn't like the Mary we saw in the first two episodes was the same person with one dark secret-- she was being blackmailed for a past indiscretion/love affair/money mistake, etc. The writers made her a complete lie, and I think the audience is hoping that there was a reason for that, instead of accepting that the writers tried to create a Sherlock- counterpart that was dark and compelling and still very likable and *failed.* Because by the end of the third episode, I don't find her likable at all, and I think a lot of others felt the same. If that was the writers intent, then S4 is going to be a mess.

Long story short, a lot of fans live in the hope that Mary is, in fact, a villain, that Sherlock knows this and will take her down when it is time, and that none of the incongruity is, in fact, just a result of bad, uneven writing.

[(Anonymous)]

Thankfully, most of the Sherlock fans I know really liked Mary. But I don't know many Sherlock fans.

[nightscale]

I know she got a lot of pre-emptive hate but I thought things had died down a little bit when we actually saw her on the show? I know I've mostly seen positive things about Mary on my dash, but then I'm not in the Sherlock side of tumblr so maybe I dodge all the really nasty stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

So sorry; nobody is obligated to like Mary just because she's a female character, or because she's played by the real life S.O. of one of the main actors.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I thought she was absolutely horrible and the characters were way too forgiving with her. I'd feel the same way if she were male. I mean I think Sherlock is a massive cock as well, but he hasn't done anything quite so irredeemably terrible as what Mary did.

I mean Jesus Christ what an awful, awful person.

[(Anonymous)]

OT3 solves all problems.

[(Anonymous)]

If an OT3 means there's no conflict period, somebody's writing poly relationships wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah; no. I loved Mary in eps 1&2 but after everything that was revealed/went down in ep 3 I couldn't like her much after that. Her actions were completely selfish and I don't understand all these ppl trying to say she was "protecting John", excuse you, she was protecting herself- "it would break him and I would lose him forever and I can't let that happen."

It is ok to hate a character and I don't really see how she can be a sympathetic character after the last ep. Watching the eps stand alone I still really enjoy her character (and the way she interacts with John and Sherlock) in the first 2 eps but she lost my fondness in ep 3. Yes admittedly there are always gonna be irrational shipping fangirls who hate on a character for "breaking up" their ship but tbh all the criticism I've seen of Mary has, for the most part, been well reasoned...which leads me to believe you're just following the wrong people (or maybe need to get tumblr saviour).

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. As mentioned above, it is not misogynistic nor is it about "she sunk the Johnlock ship,OMG" as much as it is about the fact that she's just portrayed as completely irredeemable. She is selfish and cold and calculating and she doesn't ever apologize to John for the way she's treated him-- as somebody noted above, she even blames *him* for his own supposed subconscious choosing of her.

To be honest, I think a lot of the things Sherlock said/did that seemed to support her-- claiming she shot him and performed surgery, pretending that she's right about John picking her because she's dangerous, etc.-- was all a ruse so that he could protect John, to get John through to the end of her pregnancy, or to keep him safe, or something. Sherlock's made so much progress as a person, I find it hard to accept that he'd just honestly *agree* with her or buy the shit she's feeding John.

But, as I discuss above in other ridiculously long post, this could all just be the result of bad writing and the poor fans are trying to find meaning and order in chaos. Which any long suffering Moffat-era Doctor Who fan can tell you is sometimes futile.

Whew. Man I need S3 fix-it fic, stat. There was so much after Reichenbach but I actually think I need it more NOW!
