I like Lucy Liu, and I’m pleased they’re casting a WOC as Watson because TV NEVER does that, but I’m worried they’re just doing this so they can slap them together while avoiding homoeroticism or, heaven forbid, gay people.

I understand that you’re hurt Sherlock fandom, I do. It sucks when things don’t happen like you want them to.
But I have to say that I find the casting of a woman of colour as Watson to be really fucking awesome, because it’s a progressive move.
Everyone needs to calm down and realise that the whole pandering for gay subtext and subsequent rage at a “mere woman” - as I saw...

it really proves how dedicated some of you are to social justice when a relatively progressive decision like casting a chinese-american and a woman as a central role is overlooked for ‘OMG HOW DARE YOU DESTROY OUR SLASH SHIP’

So, I was in a salad and sandwich bar today for lunch with a bunch of my co-students who do the pharmacology major with me. One of them, I’ve known since roughly the beginning of my degree.
