Behold, examples where Johnlock writers have treated Molly well in their fics - just a few of the manyIn some of these, she’s in a healthy relationship with someone who treats her well and makes her happy - but *gasp!* It’s not Sherlock! How dare we!In some, she has a great friendship with Sherlock untainted by anyone catching feelings.In some, she has a very close and loving bond with John instead. This is another response theleftpill’s baseless claims that johnlockers are just sooooo misogynistic and we treat Molly poorly in our fics. When she made her “femfirmative blog,” she said it was just ohh soooo hard to find johnlock fics that treated the female characters well, so she took it upon herself to weed out our “misogynistic” writing and rec “female-friendly” fics for all the Sherl0llians interested in trying out johnlock (*whispers* none of them were genuinely interested. It was just a childish jab that died out in a few weeks). And in another post, she claimed that she hadn’t read any sherl0lly fics where John was treated poorly, but could recall “at least half a dozen” (that means 6) of our fics where Molly was an eternally sad, pining woman. In case you’re wondering, we’ve never read ANY johnlock fics that present Molly as “eternally pining.” The closest they ever get to that is just having her exactly as she is in the show. If you think that’s misogynistic writing, theleftpill, then take it up with Moftiss, not us. If she actually read as much johnlock as she claims, she’d know that Molly is usually a good friend and/or is in a happy relationship. Now disclaimer: On AO3 there are 5,707 fics Sherlock/John fics with Molly tagged as an additional character. If you combed through each and every single one of those, there’s a possibility you might find some where Molly doesn’t meet Sherl0llians standards. Likewise, there are 3,087 Sherlock/Molly fics that feature John Watson. Do you Sherl0llians (particularly theleftpill) mean to tell me that in every single one of those, John is treated well, is a good bff for Sherlock, isn’t discarded or reduced to a Sherl0lly cheerleader, isn’t a bumbling idiot, or an abusive, violent tyrant? No? Okay then. Shut the fuck up about how Johnlockers treat Molly in their fics. Because I GUARANTEE you, we treat Molly FAR better than you treat John - both in fanfic and in general discussions/headcanons on tumblr. -- source link
