Oh, Mister. |
A blog dedicated to discussing sexism in media, fandom, poetry, and the advancement of socialist propaganda. Basically, I just roll this way. |
I’m serious. I feel like this needs to be documented. Because what these ppl are writing as their complaints is literally written gold. for example -
this looks.. AWFUL. Im sorry.. but . its so.. American. Ugh.
Also with Watson being a girl - the fangirls wil not back it. I find Lucy Lu very Lukewarm anyway..^ source ^
(Where’s that post about majority of fandom not being able to support or ship anything other than cis, straight, white men together? I need it due to reasons.)
It’s amazing how many fans are like, “OH GAWD NO DROWN ME IN A POOL OF SPOILED MILK BC I THINK I ACTUALLY MIGHT NOT NOT LIKE THIS LIKE OH SWEET HARIBO JESUS SACRIFICE ME FOR MY TREASON BC I ACTUALLY KINDA LIKED THE TRAILER AND I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO AHHH I FEEL MY BODY BEING DRAGGED TO THE DARK SIDE AND UNLIKE THAT LOKI GIF MY BODY IS NOT READY OMG I’M MELLLLTING.”
You like what you’re seeing, you’re willing to give it a chance. Embrace it. Accept it.
This is hilarious.
Yes, okay, fine, if thinking a sexist show that has a trailer full of sexist bullshit and sexist implications and sexist writing is being “pressed” just because I am also a fan of the BBC’s Sherlock, then I am kind of proud of being “pressed.”
I’m embarrassed by people who act like this. And by people who act like Elementary is going to be some wonderful show despite even their trailer being chock full o’ sexism nobody seems willing to talk seriously about.
P.S. Oh yeah, also it’s a fucking glaring rip-off of an existing show which also makes it shit. But really that’s among the least of my objections to this crap.
reservoircat asked: Any good movie recommendations lately? Or TV shows?

Asinine Aberration: So let’s get this straight
haiglaughingalonewithbeverages:
It’s called “Elementary” obviously after the “Elementary, my dear Watson”
It’s on CBS
The two are going to live in New York on a fictional street
It’s in modern times
They’re in America
American studios have already made two adequate, if pretty good Sherlock Holmes movies
Watson is a woman which I’m not trying to insult but Watson is a man
…Are we sure that this is the same Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle we’re talking about or
How about you just make your own detective show with Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller and leave any references to Sherlock alone and we’ll call it a day because right now it’s not looking like anything at all
I KNEW AMERICA WOULD FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT HETEROSEXUAL
FUCK YOU AMERICA
FUCK YOUSssssssoooooo basically America is getting another crime drama detective show with a dude and a hot chick as the two main leads. They will inevitably have a romantic entanglement, and knowing how American television shows have a tendency to go, the Watson character, being female, will likely get into a ton of trouble and need to be rescued
I will be genuinely surprised if this is not the same exact thing they’ve been pushing down our throats for years now but with a new coat of paint.
Because the only thing we can make in this country are either CRIME DRAMAS WITH SEXY CHIX or SITCOMS.
This is just SO MUCH BULLSHIT.
It’s basically going to be Law & Order: Criminal Intent 2.0 and we all fucking know it. (God, that was the most obnoxious show ever.) A super-analytical ~rude and hyper-masculine looking male detective and his sexy female sidekick who does nothing but need rescuing and lust after her partner — gee, that sounds awfully familiar.
This is worse than what SyFy did to their remake of Being Human, and coming from me that’s saying a lot.
BTW, iirc, isn’t the whole “Elementary, my dear Watson” thing.. not actually in the stories? Where did I read that? Cos if I’m right then the whole thing is basically divorced from the stories completely.
Finally, did everyone hear that apparently they’ve changed the names to “Brit Holmes” and “Joan Watson”? Or so my girlfriend has told me. I.. Brit Holmes. It just makes me crack up against my will.

Sorry for not being around, guys. Been very busy with my Sherlock RP tumblr and fangirling.
New shiiip: Hal/Tom, on the BBC’s Being Human.
Tom is like, the cutest ever, and I love Hal already. It’s not enough to make up for the fact that Mitchell and George aren’t there, but we like to pretend they’re off on honeymoon together somewhere and not actually dead. It feeds the fun AUs better.
..yeah, that’s actually my life right now, lol. Hope everyone’s having a good one.
CAN’T WAIT FOR TOMORROW OMG. First V-day with my girlfriend. Squee.
