I'm really wary of this - there are characters and stories I'm fascinated by but I couldn't see myself reflected in or particularly feel the need to.
Which I think is pretty normal.
I'd think twice about mentioning, say, my interest in Punch and Judy to some people in case they thought I was a raging misogynist.
I feel you do not exactly broadcast "MRA in the making," but I understand your point. That's the thing where not everything is a T-shirt logo, but people behave as though it is.
Holmes was an early hero of mine but I wouldn't want to hang out with him.
I would totally hang out with Holmes! I just wouldn't share a flat with him, because I have enough difficulty living with people as it is and the last thing I need is a flatmate who requires the household to run on his weird case schedule as opposed to my weird sleep schedule. Watson at least signed up for it, but I have great sympathy for Colin Jeavons' Lestrade who is doing his best to catch a nap on the sofa in Granada's "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" when Holmes bursts in with a cheerful cry of "Eleven o'clock, gentlemen, on your feet!" and that's grounds for murder right there.
