Summary

John Watson + Sherlock Holmes = Johnlock = the idea that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are in a secret gay relationship in the BBC series 'Sherlock'. We dive into the "shipping" community that spawned a conspiracy theory and eventually led to people baking symbols in the show, practicing numerology, harassing dissenters and accusing others in the fandom of being pedophiles. Find out if you're more of a "toplocker" or "bottomlocker" when it comes to your favorite duo. Episode written by Travis View and including Liv Agar, Annie Kelly, Julian Feeld, and, of course, Jake Rockatansky. ↓↓↓↓ SUBSCRIBE FOR $5 A MONTH SO YOU DON'T MISS THE SECOND WEEKLY EPISODE ↓↓↓↓ www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous Annie Kelly's upcoming podcast "Vaccine": https://twitter.com/VaccinePodcast Follow Annie: https://twitter.com/AnnieKNK Liv Agar's podcast: Liv Agar's podcast: https://www.patreon.com/Livagar / https://soundcloud.com/livagar Merch / Join the Discord Community / Find the Lost Episodes / Etc: http://qanonanonymous.com Episode music by Nick Sena (http://nicksenamusic.com) & Rudy (http://soundcloud.com/rudy-3)
