Oh don't worry. Maybe I was a bit oversensitive after the last three times the subject came up on F!S (Where of course, if you complain you're a racist, because it's not possible it's homophobic, and the complain that Liu!Watson is not a doctor and thus the show runners are diminishing the character is seen as sexist when we're complaining about the fact that she's not a doctor, not a she), and well.

Still, Watson looks like whatever the hell the reader/watcher wants, as you say, so I don't understand the Martin Freeman obsession (I like him, but I like Law's Watson a bit better)

I think the problem with this specific show is that people are immensely attached to the possibility that someone will finally have the guts to do a gay Sherlock/Watson openly, and then you've got a woman in the rol, who is not white, so you've got to decide... are you sexist/racist if you complain or homophobic if you don't complain? and no one wins with that attitude and... well, I'm amazed we haven't landed on Fandom Wank yet.
