I think Benedict Cumberbatch looks like some kind of weird alien* and I do not find him attractive at all. To each her own, of course, but I just don't get it.

I mean. Just.



I don't see it.

Today's episode of unpopular opinions has been brought to you by "I did not follow anyone on tumblr for Sherlock so what is all this Sherlock doing all over my dash."**

* I wanted to make a totally-looks-like comparison with a picture of a "grey", but his eyes, though creepily wide-set, are not actually large enough to make the point.

** I know tumblr is for whatever the hell you feel like posting and hey if it really bugs me that much, unfollow. Jus' sayin', sometimes I don't get who fandom elects as hawt.

I find him downright odd looking, but, weirdly, that's the appeal. I've heard people who really can't stand the look of him say that he is 'horse faced', and I do sort of see where they are getting that from, however unflattering such a reference is.

Honestly, I've seen him in a few other things, and he doesn't seem as intriguing or appealing. So, for me at least, I think that most of the attraction comes from the personality traits of the Sherlock character. I'm sure that is some sort of disturbing statement on my psychological issues, but there it is...

Yes. This.

And surprisingly, in the Sherlock fandom, this isn't really that unpopular of an opinion. Sorry [livejournal.com profile] shyfoxling you're going to have to do better to shock us. :))
