I'm really fucking pissed about that interview and I'm gonna rehash what everyone else is saying but its goddamn valid

I cannot believe that mofftiss would not only imply, but say, out loud, that fans linking them saying that there needed to be more minority rep in the media to a possible CANONICAL GAY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO MAIN CHARACTERS IS TRIVIALIZATION OF REPRESENTATION.

what the fuck

And then mark said TPLOSH was a JOKE? are you KIDDING? You're a gay man and you think that bbc sherlock and tplosh doesn't mean a hell of a lot to lgb teens that have no rep? I get that everyone has different experience but if i remember correctly it meant so much to you due to the lgb rep. And now it's just a joke? Who's really fucking trivializing representation?

You're either queerbaiting to the most extensive, disgusting degree, or you took the lie too far. By not only telling the fans that they were trivializing an important issue like theyre a mindless pack of horny straight teen girls, and then acting like the possibility of representation is unreasonable and unwarranted, you alienated a large amount of people in the fandom.

And i get being frustrated when someone doesn't understand your vision but lemme tell you a thing

You fucking made the show and every bit of it is gay

There is nothing hetero about

-the tarmac scene

(since we'll probably never see each other again, i might as well say it now...)

-the scene between irene and john

(we're not a couple

yes you are)

and

("i'm not gay"

"well, i am. look at us both")

-angelo's

(so you're single

like me

right

good)

(?! they said that the fans were "extrapolating?!" well buddy i didn't fucking extrapolate john licking his lips and saying "good" when sherlock said he was single now did i)

and thats just to name like 3 out of so many fucking scenes

You are either queerbaiting in an awful and insulting way or you're doing damage control in a really awful and insulting way

I am sad but i will continue watching your show in hopes that it's the latter even if it hurts

Ugh just wring me out so i can stop this 3 year wait only to have my intelligence insulted by someone i thought understood how much fans respected the culminating relationship and queer rep on this show

Rant over guys sorry if it made no sense
