Okay, so Derren Brown the magician is important, right? We know that for sure now. What did Mark have him do in The Empty Hearse? He made Derren Brown hypnotize John and turn the clock back. Remember how “John = People”? Mark has hypnotized the audience and we will be going back in time, because TFP (and probably more) was Mind Palace. This is all an illusion.
we’ve been called gay fetishists, delusional, mental, fucked up, hormonal straight girls, a cult, bullies and now fascists for creating a theory about sherlock holmes and john watson finally being a couple and for daring to believe it is true
mid0nz compared tjlc to real life fascism and nazism. all of the links direct to wikipedia articles about the chosen terms, not proof that tjlc is guilty of any of them. i’m honestly speechless, how could anyone be so vile and self absorbed.
I never insert myself in discourse but someone comparing a group of mostly lgbtq people who utilize facts and evidence to back up their theories… to a fascist regime that relies on the spreading of false propoganda….
Yes that is the same thing thank you for your wise words, @mid0nz, and your well sourced citations.
fjaffsfdj i love the argument that the real ~~intellectuals~~ who read the books know better than to fall for this homoséxüál bs because hunty…have u ever actually laid eyes on a gotdamn sherlock holmes story, that shit is sometimes gayer than the beeb cone version
If you received yesterday’s infamous response from the BBC, use the opportunity to complain about this response. (here) You will be asked at one point, “What is your reason for contacting us on this issue again?” and then be asked to enter the case reference number.
This sort of follow-up complaint might get your issue to “stage 2″ (= the Editorial Complaints Unit has to deal with it).
“If you are dissatisfied with your reply at this first stage, you can re-contact us in writing within 20 working days explaining why. You may be able to escalate the issue to stage 2 of the complaints process. If so, we will tell you how to do this in our second response.”
(BBC)
2) If you haven’t filed a complaint yet or you didn’t address every issue - file new complaints!
a) Important: File a complaint for each single issue!
“Please raise only one issue in your complaint - multiple issues can cause delays and other complications in replying.” (BBC)
As seen in their response, “Sherlock” was too multi-layered as an issue and they only adressed the queerbaiting. File new complaints about everything else. P. ex.
normalization of abuse
misrepresentation of mental illness
poor quality (plot holes)
OOC behaviour of John and Sherlock
misogynystic use of female roles as plot devices
queercoding of villans
etc.
If you want to address all of the six examples listed above, file six individual complaints.
b) File your complaint until January 31!
The BBC reports monthly about the complaints they receive within a month. (BBC) There are indications that almost 20,000 complaints were filed online in the first 14 days after TFP aired (certainly not all about Sherlock, though). The highest number of complaints in 2016 was in January with 25,000 complaints. So there’s a good chance we will break the record for 2017 with the impact of the Sherlock complaints. If you want to add your complaint to this statistic peak, make your complaint in the remaining days of January! - The number of complaints about Sherlock will naturally drop down in February and the following months. So do it now!
If the complaints get mentioned in the report about January, that’s something we can asked the media later to pick up on.
sherlock, while dying:here let's create this beautiful elegant victorian world... so many patterns, the ambiance, the fog, the clothes. pure gothic atmosphere
john:who fucking cares about the decors, i'm bleeding out no time to waste, let's go, concrete everywhere, a fake plane and some water in a well
