Sherlock: The Abominable Director

[azurelunatic]

I don't think I want to be part of a fandom that thinks Mycroft in a fat suit is the funniest thing ever.

Unsubscribed from Three Patch: check. (One of the people did flag it up as a problem, but that was only after someone else found it hilarious, it wasn't in the same segment as the person who found it hilarious and nobody said "uh er" to that person at that time. But more relevantly, if I'm stepping out of the fandom, I don't actually need to keep subscribed to a podcast about that fandom.)

I'm already getting people going "but morbidly obese Mycroft is canon!"

NEWS FLASH ASSHOLES IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE THAT WITHOUT BEING SUPER ABHORRENT ALSO

[amadi]

If that was canon maybe someone shouldn't have pulled a casting Mary Sue and hired appropriately. Too late to retcon now.

It was offensive enough when Sherlock was making snide remarks about modern Mycroft's weight in previous episodes. I am so done.

Yep.

(Sherlock fandom is hideous anyway, I avoid it.)

[firecat]

Yep, I heard about this and deleted Sherlock off my Netflix list. Fuck that noise.

Mycroft was fat in Conan Doyle's stories and no big deal was made about it.

Yeah, as a fat woman, that storyline *really* did not appeal to me.
