Well, the way I'm watching it *cough* doesn't increase the ratings or anything, so I don't see what harm it does (except maybe to my soul, but that's my own decision). I certainly wouldn't buy the dvds or anything.
For me there's a difference between "This sends a message I can't support and I refuse to give them money" and "This sends a message which offends me and I can't enjoy it". Some fiction manages to entertain me despite it's incredibly horrible subtext and I don't see the point in pretending it doesn't, even if I sometimes refuse to financially support it. Other much less flawed fiction happens to hit my buttons and irritate me so much I can't enjoy it. Despite being horribly ableist Sherlock managed to entertain me and I want to know what happen next.
But by making this post I warn other disabled people that they might not want to watch it, or to prepare themselves if they do. Plus I hopefully open the minds of other people a little.
