how can you call yourself a feminist and not acknowledge that molly’s scene in tfp on a surface level was the most viciously manipulative and upsetting and all in service of a male character’s emotional development??? if you discount mirroring and the ‘john is hallucinating’ theory you’re left with the most unnecessarily cruel storyline any of the characters got in s4, not counting how the other female characters are either dead or insane by the end of it wtf
#ss4#mh#exactly#she was emotionally tortured just to further sherlock's man pain#that's the most unfeminist thing!#and I like Molly#and read her as moving on after S3#so i hate what they did to her character in S4#like I get that loo probably emotionally latched onto that scene for personal reasons#and has a hard time talking about it#but let's not pretend that was good writing for a beloved female character#it was terrible
