[Image: A photograph of an introduction to a book, it reads “‘Martin, you’ve been asked to go in for a modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.’ Uh-oh. Alarms went of in my head. What would ‘modern’ mean, in TV terms? Deductions being rapped? Holmes and Watson bombing around London in a Lexus on their way to meet with Lestrade, a wheelchair-bound lesbian with a penchant for Class-As at lunchtime?”]

How hilarious that Lestrade could have been a disabled lesbian. I’m laughing my socks off. People who aren’t straight! Disabled people! Women! LOL

good job he’s a cishet abled white male, society can relax because scary marginalised groups aren’t on tv. The question is how do people who publish these things forget that a lot of disabled lesbians can read and might want books that don’t mock them on the first page?

what a disgusting piece of shit
