I hate how the media is making it seem like his fans are devastated and angry, but the truth is the majority of us are actually and truly happy for Benedict.
That's how you can tell who he's real fans are. C'mon people, we only like him for the characters he plays and that way in which he does it (or at least I do). He could be a total asshole in real life...just remember that.
Media: OMG Benedict is engaged!! all the cumberbitches will go crazy! Pops Sophie she'll get so much hate!
Fandom: nah, we're okay. we're glad for him, and no one dares send Sophie hate. plus, cumberbabies!
Media: NO YOU HATE HIM FOR THIS
Fandom: wha-
Media: YES YOU ARE ALL SO SAD AND ANGRY
Media: HUNDREDS OF HEARTS ARE BROKEN
