are people even aware of the vast number of sherlock holmes adaptations and interpretations there have been
there have been female watsons before
this is not some sacrilegious attack against the original text
stop pretending that you’re protecting the sanctity of doyle’s work or some shit and own up to the fact that you’ve only watched sherlock bbc and the rdj/jude law movies and are upset you won’t have another pair of white dudes to ship
obviously this is not a post referring to people who are just upset by the fact that this is just repeating the male/female romance in crime solving trope we’ve seen a billion times on television and/or people who are mourning the fact that holmes isn’t genderswapped as well (which is a group i include myself in)
