It could have been the sleep-deprivation but my mind stopped working when I saw this.
1) There are endless, ENDLESS things that could go wrong with a CBS drama about Sherlock Holmes with Lucy Liu as Rule 63 Dr. Watson. From all the things that usually plague female characters and, especially, WoC characters in western entertainment to the show just being plain shitty.
2) None of…
caring-is-not-an-advantage asked: How can I be sexist towards Lucy Liu when I'm a girl? I just don't like genderswap and Sherlock and John are classic characters.
whatever. lucy liu will kick ass as Watson.
WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY
LUCY LIU IS PLAYING WATSON IN THE US SHERLOCK?!
SHE’S PLAYING ‘DR JOAN WATSON’
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
SHE CAN GO AND DIE IN A HOLE SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT MAKE WATSON A WOMAN. I WON’T LET THEM.
THEY’RE RUINING IT BEYOND REPAIR
I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP
so fucking sick of this fandom misogyny
looks like sherlock fandom is bloo bloo’ing about lucy liu playing watson
i wonder what it is about her they don’t like for the role… can’t quite put my finger on it…
So, thankfully it wasn’t the usual ignorant asshole, although they seem to be very good at (accidental?) trolling. They didn’t do a very good job handling the reactions of the community, but I suppose that isn’t particularly important at this point in time.
Let’s just…
Reactions like the rape threats? In response to some Benedict Cumberbatch pics on the asexual tag? ffffuuuuuu
