I love the RP that I'm currently a part of. I'm very proud of the diversity of the people and characters involved. I've met people from so many different backgrounds as a part of this - and, from many different areas of the sexual spectrum. And, with such a wealth of experience from throughout the sexual spectrum, it's one of the most LGBTQA sensitive Fanworks I've ever been involved with.
I love how proudly feminist the RP is. I love how Anti Racist the RP is. I love how daring the RP is. I love how it shuns and pokes fun at stereotype. I love how RPers have taken the bare bones of a character, whether as part of the ACD Canon or the modernised TV Canon, and fleshed them out to become well rounded, flawed, complex, engaging, and most importantly, funny characters. I love that the female characters are just as madcap as the male characters. I love that all of us are able to make fun of ourselves, one another, the show, the ACD Canon, and the world around us.
I love that, while the RP has heterosexual, homosexual and asexual characters, the vast majority of the characters are bisexual. It seems to be our default setting. Like The Sims!
I love that the RP celebrates love between men and men, women and women, and men and women of all races - both sexual and non sexual.
And the hatred for any of the RP's followers for any of these factors is not going to change that. So if you can't abide to see any of these things presented between fictional characters in your timeline - so much so that you take it as a personal offense, so much so that it actually makes you ANGRY, do yourself and me a favour. Unfollow. Now. Because you're not going to like this, and frankly, I'd rather not be followed by a bigot. And don't think for a second that it being affection between a man and a woman that offends you because you'd rather see the man in question in sexual love with another man doesn't make you any less of a bigot than somebody mortally offended by a Gay storyline because they want to see absolutely everyone paired up heterosexually. If the love between any consenting (and in this case, fictional, rendering your anger even more irrelevant) adults actually makes you angry - if it makes you use the word 'hate', if it makes you describe it as making you 'feel sick' - in my opinion, that makes you a bigot. Actually, in my opinion, that makes you a bit of a cunt. Especially if it makes you think your anger at a storyline justifies you in making personal, derogatory comments in a public forum. You don't have to like every ship. You certainly don't have to make the choice to have free content delivered to your feed if it contains a storyline that you know is going to make you angry, and then act as if personally wounded when the storyline continues along its natural course and does, in fact, make you angry.
I didn't start this to anger anyone. I started it as a fondly mocking parody-tribute to a TV show I enjoyed. But other, wonderful characters have come along and, with it, the issue of interpersonal relationships. There's rather a lot of sex in the RP. All types of sex. And rather a lot of love. Again - all types of love. That's just the way it is.
If you have a problem with men, or women, or heterosexuals, or homosexuals, or asexuals, or bisexuals, or transvestisism, or interracial relationships, or open relationships, with sexual or non sexual love - especially to the point that it actually angers you - please do unfollow the Cumberholmes RP immediately. It will only give you ulcers. And I don't want somebody as closed mided as you as a follower.
