The volcel/incel division hinges on the way Doyle changed the character. Holmes was initially completely impractical & had odd gaps in his knowledge, i.e. he didn’t know common sense things or facts like who was PM. A true autist. Later, he became more encyclopaedic & competent.https://twitter.com/anomalyuk/status/1002828070242447360 …

Replying to @tomxhart
This is a trope in all his imitators: the detective who understands human behaviour sufficiently to predict and analyse crime, but not his own relationships. The TV "Bones" was the daftest: an actual anthropologist having to have basics of social interactions explained to her.

House is different, he always knows what he's doing, and is as manipulative of his social and sexual partners as he is of everybody else He doesn't always know what he _wants_, but that's a harder problem.https://twitter.com/VeryJonesVery/status/1002832541559279616 …
