And Then In That Most Recent Bbc Adaption He's Just 'genius Sociopathic Asshole Who Treats People Like Garbage' - Tumblr Posts

i'm not even in this fandom and i can't stop CACKLING actually if someone does this for real i will absolutely write a fanfic just for the occasion not a smut thing just a sherlock holmes mystery story. i always meant to get back into mystery writing that would be fun also it will forever annoy me that in the books Holmes is weird but not like. an asshole he's weird in a fun way! but he's not a jerk! he's a pretty nice guy and loyal friend and he can be sweet and thoughtful and considerate and then in that most recent bbc adaption he's just 'genius sociopathic asshole who treats people like garbage' which is such a shitty thing to do to his character and this happens pretty often to autistic coded characters. and i'm sick of it people can be weird and introverted and knowledgeable about a specific subject and lack basic social skills they can be all of those things and STILL not be jerks! you can lack normal social skills and still be a decent person! many of us are! stop doing this to 'autistic savant' characters it is so harmful and also boring as hell
