Sir Arthur Conan Doyle responsible for 'outrage culture.'

Post by DaveDodo007 » Thu Aug 04, 2016 9:01 pm

Killing off Sherlock Holmes caused the first fan backlash.

"In 1893, author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle shoved detective Sherlock Holmes off a cliff. The cliff was fictionally located in Switzerland, over the Reichenbach Falls. But Conan Doyle did the dirty work from his home in London where he wrote. “It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr Sherlock Holmes was distinguished,” narrator Dr John Watson says in Conan Doyle’s story The Final Problem, which appeared in The Strand magazine in December 1893."

The earliest known example of fan outrage is from The Gospel of Mark when Jesus gets killed off and his body disappears. It set off a whole chain of fan fiction which inextricably brought him back to life.

Gilgamesh sent Enkidu to the Underworld to fetch his drum and ball, but Enkidu never returned because Gilgamesh misled him about what to say and do there. On reading this Akkadian's smashed their clay tablets in anger.

Fan fiction, are you implying that the Gospels aren't true, after all they are called the Gospels. :nono:
