Multiple interpretations of canon? In MY fandom?
Warnings for homophobia with a side of sexism and probably various other -isms that I'm not entirely sure I have a name for! Also, massive amounts of jaw-droppingly over-the-top condescension.

Alexds1 is a fan of original recipe Sherlock Holmes, which is the only version that matters! Alexds1 has a problem with adaptations of literary works. And people who enjoy those adaptations. And people who view those adaptations as legitimate works in their own right. And people whose interpretations of creative works differ from Alexds1's. But Alexds1 especially has a problem with anyone who dares to speculate about Sherlock Holmes's sexuality, which is spelled out totally unambiguously in the original source material!

It doesn't take long for the pwnage to begin.

	Next you're gonna say Romeo and Juliet wasn't a story about star-cross'd but eternal love! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, I think it's about how parents are terrible, a theme which comes up in so many of Shakespeare's plays it gets kind of funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
-- Philip Larkin

	Next you're gonna say Romeo and Juliet wasn't a story about star-cross'd but eternal love! GUY: Baby all I want to do is make you sweat; Let me be Romeo to your Juliet! GIRL: Okay, drink some poison and I'll stab myself-- You'd know that story if you ever took a book off a shelf! --Kelly, "No Booty Calls". (Reply to this)(Parent)
