I haven’t been on tumblr all day. Checked in just now. Have been loling ever since. Someone just ban that woman from using twitter!!!! Yes, that’s right: calling an entire fanbase - the same one you said should keep fanwork off the internet and in their ‘diaries’ where it belongs, never forget, not to mention her public support of Tim Roberts, the man who stated repeatedly that fangirls should commit mass suicide - ‘cretins’ - that’s a classy move. And apologies mean it never happened, of course. She just needs a publicist who filters every single word she puts online. I mean, don’t we all, to whatever extent. Except we’re not famous, and insulting literally millions of people at all. That’s the difference there. 

I don’t hate this woman, at all. I don’t wish her ill. But I have enormous issues with the problematic things she’s said, tweeted, or retweeted about fans and fanwork and her insistence on making herself or her character the spotlight of any PR event. To post a tease pic like that and then get angry that people took a closer look at it? In the Sherlock Holmes fandom???? That’s just wanting to have your cake and eat it, too. If it’s a spoiler, don’t put the damned thing on twitter. Just a thought. But I mean it when I say that this is not hate. It’s exasperation for sure, though.
