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.

	There was a weirdass orientalism episode and apparently there is a thing with muslims in the episode I haven't watched. And fandom is vicious to the single black character. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Of all the things to be true to in the stories, why did they pick that one? Though I can't remember any anti-Muslim sentiment. Definitely some weirdass orientalism that was very much of the time, though.

And actually there's one story (one of the few in which Holmes is completely wrong about what's happening till the end) in which a white woman hides her black child from her first marriage, fearing her second husband will not accept the kid. When the truth finally comes out, the second husband says, basically, "holy shit, I thought you were in danger! What kind of monster do you think I am, anyway? Come on, let's take your kid home. You'll let me adopt her, right?"
