Yeah Thats Probably The Smart Thing To Do Im Fascinated With Controversy Though, So I End Up Disappointing

yeah that’s probably the smart thing to do… I’m fascinated with controversy though, so I end up disappointing myself most of the time. Cancel culture is awful when it’s people just trying to cancel someone for something completely unnecessary, that’s how I feel about this one (e.g. taking quotes out of context and trying to use it as evidence against someone)

feeling mildly upset after learning benedict has said some icky things about autism… trying to do some more research but it’s really hard to find his quotes on the subject with full context.

i just find it hard to believe that he would say something ableist when he’s so supportive and lovely towards so many minorities?

I mean people say that Sherlock is the brain and John is the heart, but when it comes to emotions, Sherlock is the heart - wild, implusive, completely ruled by his triumphs and sadnesses, and John is the emotional brain - cool logic in the face of feelings, able to pack them away, compartmentalise, repress.

funnily enough im doing this today, we’re dressing up like it’s a fancy dance and going to McDonald’s

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

HOLY MOLY HOLD MY CANNOLI

THAT IS BY A LANDSLIDE

guys I’m curious

PSA. If you're under 18, you can't go to the shows!

-Don't sneak in or get fake IDs!

-Don't get your parents to spam DM Will, begging for all ages shows!!!! [WHY DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN???]

Use your brain, ya weirdos. Although I'm not sure of Will's fans even have one.

And remember! He is only 31! He'll still be touring when you hit 18! He won't explode or vanish. He won't get abducted by aliens! Probably!

Anyway. Just be respectful. Thanks.

I read the article in the comments, I believe he just worded it poorly, he just seemed frustrated with people diagnosing Sherlock and other characters he’s played with autism (in both source interviews; I also wrote like a whole essay on diagnosing Sherlock with autism or Asperger’s at one point, I understand his perspective because headcanoning the character is one thing, and outright diagnosing the character canonically without substantial proof is another. That topic has been controversial for a while though.) And in the second quote of the article the commenter linked (second link), the person who excerpts him leaves out the rest of the context, he goes on to then explain his frustration with people expecting those with disabilities to just live life normally after their hardships with no help.

just seems mostly out of context imo, and this viewpoint will either age like milk or wine since so many celebrities turn out to be bad people, so I’m just praying atp 😟
