Fantastic response from the Beeb about Johnlock complaints.

This was in response to the 'lockers sending hate to the Beeb via their complaint link.

The petition to send to the Beeb is still 1,000 signatures short of their own goal of 5,000. Guess that the 'lockers truly ARE a loud minority.

I find this all incredibly amusing.

Well done the Beeb! 👏🙌👍

This is the very definition of beating a dead horse. I'm so sick of all this bs. Why can't they just shut up and move on?

reply

The complaints to the beeb started the day after the show aired. The 'lockers queued up to write to the complaint department, most of them using a form letter that one of the little dears wrote up. I can just see some junior staff member reading them and laughing his/her butt off as they wrote this reply telling them to get stuffed.

Apparently, all of them have received this beeb form letter in return, and now tumblr is all outraged that they were all sent the same form letter.

It's a crash lesson for the dearies in how the world actually works. So funny!

Wow, how ironic. They can dish it out but they can't take it.

Believe me, I'm well aware how upset Tumblr is. 🙄 They're driving me crazy!

Their letters to the beeb were pretty much the same. I'm a pan romantic, bisexual, non binary person and it's not that I wanted them to kiss. I just wanted them to kiss!

Why does it matter what their identity is? I'm starting to get freaked out by this little identity bubble some of them have got going on, their trigger warnings for unmixed glitter paint (seriously), and the nonstop entitlement.

What is happening to our world? We've got Nazis going on and a chunk of the younger generation is not going to be able to cope. Yikes!

reply

I've been told by some of them that this is what they're doing in response to the uncertainty in the world right now. Honeys, the beeb can't do anything about trump or brexit! You're just wasting their time!

reply

Sorry? Have I got this right? They're saying that Sherlock and John kissing is the solution to all the uncertainty in the world?

reply

Not necessarily the solution, but they're channeling their angst into this one issue. You know, instead of volunteering for the real world cause of their choice or calling representatives to express their displeasure with trump's policies. This is where they've chosen to put their energy.
