For some bizarre reason, the creator of this shit apparently insists that Irene Adler "chose to live as a man" in the original Conan-Doyle story...
There is zero evidence to back that up. Zero. And I have actually read the damn books... Everything in there suggests quite the opposite. Her character wouldn't even work, otherwise, given that her being a woman is the whole point of her being written in there...
Fuck I wish degenerates would cease to attempt to claim "historical legitimacy" by stealing away obviously straight, obviously "cis" historical characters and stories like this. That's just plain evil.
Like when Detective Conan/Case Closed came into being with a high school student detective gets drugged to be murdered but instead becomes an elementary kid with the same mental acuity as his older self who then gets adopted by his best friend's (A girl) detective father and continues to solves crimes loosely aligned with the Doyle stories.
Massively popular throughout Eastern Asia with children but pap in relation to the actual canon.
Same goes for The Great Mouse Detective, Bravestarr and the spin-off Sherlock Holmes in the 23rd Century, Young Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother, modern BBC Sherlock and a whole slew of other small screen and silver screen productions and has been going on for a long time in radio and books too.
And then of course there are all the video games.
I take it as being a soft entry into the proper canon and lore, but there are the odd stories (Like The Seven-Per-Cent Solution or others involving Lupin or Raffles, etc.) which play nicely with the whole thing.
The core canon is the canon, but sometimes there are reasonably decent fan fictions which are liked, but will never be more than associated through talent and never accepted as central to the true crucible of the creation.
It's all just fun really, even weird Japanese stuff!

I think it's just Japanese silliness personally.

I want my 300 QP back, that Evil Testament tome was a total ripoff.
