Entry tags:at least no one's knotting, fandom: sherlock holmes, fandom: teen wolf, goddammit you guys be funnier!, misplaced anger, oh hurrah the daily dot, please mommy make it stop, reading comprehension whut?, too cool for school, tumblr is witchcraft, we fail at not being misogynists

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 [info]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.

Christ almighty. Can there be a little less hate on Sherlock fandom as a whole? Not everyone in the fandom is batshit. Silly, yeah, batshit no. I've got a whole bunch of Sherlock fen on my dash and I still hadn't seen this shit until I came over here.

Nope, it's fashionable backlash time. It's also cool and edgy to hate on Binky Cucumber for having the audacity to be cast in things (that bastard!), and throw shit at Moffat for existing.

To be fair, I'm also in the fandom, and the more I see of the fans (including Moffat, frankly) the more I dislike them. They keep disrupting my happyfuntiems with sexism and dick-measuring contests with Elementary, and I just want to perve on Bendydick (who is charming and a sweetheart) and write crossovers!

...I am okay with an appreciation thread for all the good stuff, though.

Unf, Rupert Graves. *fans self gently* Foxiest silver fox there is.

Have you seen Different For Girls? He spends nearly the entire thing in biker leathers, and also it is the most adorable Nineties romcom about a guy and a translady who was his best friend at school.

I haven't! It's living on my Netflix queue. I did watch Maurice, though, and there's a lot of young naked Rupert Graves in Maurice. Delightful.

You can come be on my dash! None of my friends are insane, so I miss out on most of this batshittery too. Over on my dash it's mostly pictures of hot guys.

Really, I blame most of this on tumblr. I mean, when the fandom was just on LJ, there were a few crazy people but tumblr is RIFE with them. I think they breed under the leaves of the #sherlock tag. It reminds me of that Penny Arcade comic where they're talking about some awful comment section of a website and they say "it's as if the sewer had ANOTHER sewer beneath it" and something about rats and slime dripping. I guess this isn't a very good anecdote.

I blame most of this on tumblr. I mean, when the fandom was just on LJ, there were a few crazy people but tumblr is RIFE with them.

I said this exact same thing to someone the other day. My theory is that LJ fandom had sort of a social-policing effect on fans so if people said stupid stuff, it would follow them around forever. People who were basically nice and normal who just said something stupid would maybe learn from the situation so that you ended up with a few notorious people who were just plain nuts (and their minions). But on tumblr, the posts appear and then disappear within a day or two so it's almost impossible to keep a record of someone's asshattery and there are no real social consequences like you had on LJ to some extent because no one remembers. So it doesn't really have the learning curve that LJ did.

EVEN BETTER, on tumblr changing your URL/username every five minutes seems to be an accepted convention. It bugs me most because I...don't use the tumblr dashboard - I follow tumblrs through Google Reader instead and people just keep disappearing due to URL-change, but to keep track of accountablity etc etc

Well. It makes it impossible.

I think they could be, though it wouldn't be in the same way. If someone made a tag that they saw that was about Snape being non-sexy, for instance, I'm pretty sure certain Snapefen would explode in an orgy of misogyny, racism, and wtf is this I can't even.

The crazy fans are always the most vocal. I think everybody knows there are sane fans out there, heck, I'm one of them too.
