ALL Air-Date Announcements Pertain to Sherlock (and If They Don't, You'd Better Apologize)
Wank and write up taken from the little mousey over at wank_report.

Tumblr user and Teen Wolf fan Heyysourwolf posts the air date for TW's third season. Unsurprisingly, she tags the post #s3 spoilers and--follow me closely, here--#teen wolf.

Sherlock fen, for no discernable reason whatever, assume that the post is regarding the air date for S3 of their show. Because no other show on TV anywhere is entering its third season, apparently. Or something.

Once they figure out that the post was not, in fact, about the return of the BBC series, Sherlock fen lose their shit.

Completely.

Sherlock fandom wants an apology RIGHT NOW, Heyysourwolf. A FORMAL apology. And we're going to berate you with misogynistic slurs and rant about how this is all your fault and how egregious it is that you should make yourself out to be the injured party and, above all, how immature you are, until we get it.

After all: "SOME OF US ARE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE DO YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK BEFORE YOU POST? GOD I HOPE YOU GET PUNCHED IN THE TITS."*

* Probability that that particular entry is just somebody awesome trolling the shit out of the other anons with sarcasm: moderately high

EDIT: Aja has written an article about the wank for The Daily Dot.

	Then Watson, like a boss: "I did not pause to argue over this atrocious sentiment." This is why it always annoys me when adaptations make Watson the stupid one. Watson is supposed to be the the sane one, people! Pay attention! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

They can't write Sherlock Holmes with amazing observation and deductive skills, so they compensate by making everyone near him suddenly get a case of the stupids?

Watson is worse at being a detective than Holmes, but that is not saying much, given it's Sherlock Holmes. It's like saying 'I am not as good a physicist as Stephen Hawking': true, but tells you almost nothing about my actual abilities, since that covers a range from 'innumerate' to 'a solid, skilled physicist'.

	People either forget or are unaware that Watson was the audience/reader surrogate. He asked the questions that the reader wanted and or needed to in order to understand what was going on. He is even the troupe-namer on the TV Troupes website. (I don't know how to link - so I am not going to to.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The Ritchie films pretty much did that. Watson was clearly no intellectual slouch himself, as demonstrated in the second film. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And way before them (and many times better) the Granada series. (Reply to this)(Parent)
