Sherlock fandom embraces his asexuality

I cannot tell you how pleased I am that Sherlock has started awareness and discussions of asexuality. It would take a high-functioning sociopath in a scarf, wouldn't it?



I think that asexuality is an important component to how a person thinks and his/her relationships with people, and it makes me happy that keen writers are learning about asexuality to add faithful characterisation and depth to their stories. No matter the reason, it's wonderful that asexuality is getting talked about by a wider group. I can only hope that they learn from honest resources that are free of stereotypes and wrong assumptions. I think that's actually what I'm most afraid of. I do hope that Mr. Cumberbatch does his research and sets a good example that asexuals can be as normal and kick-ass as everyone else. Well, perhaps normal isn't the correct word for Sherlock...
