And?I’m taking this as a compliment to Elementary.LOL.Not Featuring A Dude Who Makes Rape Jokes is `100% a compliment.Not mayo on white bread.#Not a show where women are punchlines?#Not a show where women are reduced to sexy plot devices or bitches?#Not a show with only 1 poc regular cast member despite the series taking place in one of the most culturally diverse cities#in the english speaking world?#OH NO#OH GOSH HOW TERRIBLE.Not a show helmed by a dude so racist he regurgitates Yellow Peril conspiracy theories circa 1898.Not a show that reduces WOC to antagonistic shrews/wilting lotus flowers but rather casts a WOC in the lead to totally pwn a white British supervillain that tries to reduce her to a ‘mascot’Not a show that constantly queerbaits its viewers and mocks them for daring to interpret the characters as anything other than cishet men.a show featuring 100% canon trans and gay characters that handles them like real human beings a show that turns misogynistic tropes on their heads a show that calls its white male protagonists out on his shita show with an adaptation of sherlock who praises women a show with flawless writing that showcases how women actually actdo i really need to go onA show that doesn’t spoon feed you mysteries with super special effectsA show where Watson and Sherlock are friends on equal levels rather than making Watson the underdogA show that understands the audience is just as important as the characters and allows them the chance to connect and deduce on their ownA show that shows Sherlock as a man completely capable of having a heart, but having too much pride to show itA show with strong character development that stays consistentGod forbid -- source link
