Don’t blame us for things that aren’t there. It is infuriating. We get pilloried for these things as if our show – we haven’t even made the thirteenth one yet – has to have the shoulders to bear every single issue and every single campaign point. You can’t do that. It’s our show, they’re our characters, they do what we want them to do, and we don’t have to represent absolutely everything in that ninety minutes. It’s impossible. And it would kill it. It would be deadly to it.
Mark Gatiss, arguing against the straw man that Sherlock has to bear every single issue, when we literally asked for queerness not to be a punchline and that is the only thing and they decided to make it a punchline anyway

Friendly reminder that most Holmes stories are in the public domain right now and were written by Arthur Conan Doyle, not by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. THEY ARE NOT YOUR CHARACTERS!
Besides, NOT making johnlock canon killed the show imho.
And I DO blame you for things that were hinted at and therefore there, but never delivered.
