    penitent admirer Retweeted Professor Elsa Sjunneson, MA

    Sherlock Holmes' most consistent quality is not some sort of emotionless smugly sadistic intellectualism, it's his compassion for those without others to help them (and his amused contempt for much of the official law enforcement)https://twitter.com/snarkbat/status/1298712492026155008 …

    Professor Elsa Sjunneson, MA @snarkbat
    *continues to laugh* Okay but have you even READ the original Holmes? He does a whole lot of work for terrified single women in an era where no one believed them. I know it’s not what Doyle INTENDED but I see it. https://twitter.com/js_thrill/status/1298654465852157952 …

        Also yeah Holmes is 100% neurodivergent, that's not even a question. He is *bad* at expressing his kindness. He is, however, a very kind man.

        Side note! The now-standard trope of Holmes spending the entire interview condescending to and sneering at his clients and associates? Not really a thing! Holmes is described as unfailingly polite to his clients, even when they're obviously kind of dim.

        Replying to @loudpenitent

        So his character here seems to be consistent with the early works but not with the presumably *licensed* adaptations that have come to represent him in the popular consciousness?

        Heck, seems less a matter of the popular consciousness than a weird argument put forward by the estate.

        this is why Basil of Bakerstreet is the best post-modern era Sherlock Holmes

        Also he only ever explains things to Watson cause he hates himself and is super depressed, and LIVES for Watson to go "by jove, Holmes, I never would have puzzled that out" to the point he purposefully goads Watson into it

        Now I want to see a take on Holmes where Watson is only feigning amazement to humor his dear friend

        The fact that we just decided to associate intelligence with either anti-social tendencies or smug cynical detachment says so much about us, whether that be how certain "intellectuals" indulge in that view of themselves or people who have a deep suspicion of intelligence.

        And yeah, being withdrawn in the manner BBC's Sherlock is may lead or emphasis certain types of intelligence, but all too often do people forget that emotional intelligence is a thing. Then again, too many people see no value in the humanities, as evident by tech bro culture.
