remember when the Sherlock fandom decided to dislike all the Elementary trailers on youtube in an attempt to get it cancelled before it even aired

No, but I believe it.

My favorite part was when they called the show homophobic because making Watson a woman made it harder for them to write slash fiction about two lead characters.

Remember when Elementary fans had to create their own tag to get away from the Sherlock fandom invading the ‘Elementary’ tag on Tumblr

Remember when Sherlock fans found it incomprehensible that an Asian woman was playing the role of Watson.  Never mind that both Holmes and Watson have been mice and dogs and robots and pieces of fruit in different media. 

Remember when the cast and crew of BBC Sherlock pretty much baited its fandom by being passive-aggressive whiny chits about the show on social media and in interviews.

Remember when Mark Gatiss retweeted that ‘Not Benedict Cumberbatch/Not Martin Freeman’ mock-poster. 

Remember when self-professed ‘militant feminist’ Louise Brealey (Molly Hooper) called the casting of Lucy Liu - the first time a woman would play the role of Watson in a major adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes stories - ‘gimmicky’.

Remember when Benedict Cumberbatch insinuated that Jonny Lee Miller took the role so he could ‘buy something nice for his wife.’

Remember when Martin Freeman called Lucy Liu a dog on live television and then brushed it off as a ‘joke.’

I’m pretty sure we’ve passed the point where the number of people in the fandom who don’t remember the hate from the early days outnumber those of us who do. But it was real. Never forget. [x]

48. hectic-hector said: It’s really pathetic when people try to get a show cancelled just because THEY don’t like it. Nobody was forcing them to watch it, but they forcefully took it away from those who DID like it, and that is just wrong and selfish.
