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.

Pretty much every actor who plays Holmes says something along the lines of, "Jesus, are you kidding me? If he didn't have Watson he'd work himself to death/OD on coke/become a serial killer/eat bug powder and die."

Not in those exact words, obviously.

SAFETY TIP: Do not eat bug powder.

Keating's chief ingredient was pyrenthrum. Another common disinfectant involved chloride of lime (bleach) mixed with water. Don't ingest that either.

And this is random mostly useless information.

Another: huffing deadly hallucinogenic neurotoxins just to find out what it's like is the express route to a Darwin Award (and somebody's lucky to have a physician as his long-suffering best bud.)

This is also the message behind "Naked Lunch".
