Artist's Comments

I apologise to those of you that like it, but I despise Holmes/Watson slash.

I don't say this just because I'm a Christian and dislike homosexuality, I say this because it takes their wonderful friendship and demeans it. The whole Holmes & Watson magic is lost when you look at it as a romantic relationship.

Things like Holmes/Irene are bad enough...H/W nearly makes me vomit each time. D8
They're FRIENDS. They both lose so much if you look at it the wrong way.
*sigh* Holmes/ANYONE is bad enough...:no:

It's not the same.

This is my opinion (and the opinion of quite a few I know), and I have my rights to it, just as you have rights to your opinions.

This of course is a sure sign that I shall NOT be DRAWING any H/W......XDDDDDDDDDDD

Hm. I think it's fun to poke fun at, but I agree with everything you said about it taking away from their friendship.

~God Bless.
:iconmaranianthe:
AMEN. Sister.

I've always considered slash an insult to their emotional maturity. It's a somewhat ignorant view of friendship as well as manhood. My brother has a Watson, and they both married girls.

Precisely so. It's a beautiful, platonic relationship, and that's it.
I have a very Holmes-like personality, and I don't see how anyone could think....you know. :no:

I have to agree with your opinion that it's demeaning to their relationship and the wonderful stories created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Despite what people think, it *is* possible for men two have a strong friendship and emotional bond without it being homosexual.

Not that I have any problems with homosexuals. It's not my place to judge and definately not my decision to make. I just don't see why people have to assume that Holmes and Watson are in a romantic relationship. For goodness sake, women can walk around for hours arm in arm, hug, kiss each other on the cheek, live together and no one assumes anything. But two men, "they must be gay."

Grow up people.

I would also like to point out that Watson did eventually get married and it seemed to be a very happy marriage.

Hah. Well, you have your opinion and I have mine! =P

Watson, I'm scared. :sherlock:

*does the dance of agreement*

It's so true, it hurts. Because... the truth hurts. Get it? I know, I'm so funny. :3

:iconstoryranger:
Yes!!!!!!!!
Can I use this?
I can't stand slash in ANY fandom, but especially Sherlock Holmes. I have nothing against homosexuals, but when people start changing character's orientation to fit they're own twisted plotlines, I start searching around for a revolver with which to shoot them.
Scratch that. AK-47's are much more efficient ;P
