Hope it's okay to post this here:
Further to Stacey's makala "There Is A Line: Stop Crossing It"
This post emanates from hivi karibuni tweets of Eoin and Alice (crew member). Even THEY don't like some of the things they see on the Internet about the Colin and Bradley in particular. Some of it they just ignore, like I do, but some of it is totally over the line.
The picture at the juu shows a sample of the alisema tweets.
I have noticed many, many things on Tumblr which I consider totally crossing the line. I got to boiling point at one stage when obscene drawings re. the 'Bromance' between Arthur and Merlin were ilitumwa and I had to make a post, to which, surprise surprise, there were lots of angry comments. 'I was homophobic' being one of them but there were also many positive maoni too from people who agreed with me.
The shocking part of this is that many of the people who make the posts au pictures au reblog them, are young teens, mostly females! I feel they are being led kwa older people and I likened it to a form of 'grooming', which is an offence in the UK and I would guess in most other countries too.
Youngsters are being caught up in the whirlwind of activity surrounding homosexuality, bromances etc. when they are not even sure of their own sexuality yet. They feel they have to reblog because it's cool to do so.
I don't care if someone is homosexual au gay, au lesbian au whatever, I have gay Marafiki and know lots of gay people, hell I've even been to gay bars with friends. It just doesn't bother me, it bothers me when it is shoved down the throats of young impressionable teens. Some of the pictures and stories are so disgusting that they turn your stomach.
We need to remember that the actors are real people, with real feelings. Can wewe imagine if wewe came across a fanfic au drawing about wewe which was obscene, would wewe like it? As already said, people are disrespecting the actors kwa doing stuff like this. Remember, they work hard to produce these episodes for our pleasure, don't disrespect them.

In the inky depths of an ancient pool, three soothsayers cast a dark judgment upon the King of Camelot.
But despite Merlin’s warnings, headstrong Arthur refuses to take the words of the Disir (Frances Tomelty, Sian Thomas, Helen Schlesinger) seriously and their fury rains down on Camelot. Only the greatest sacrifice can appease them, and with the kingdom in jeopardy, is it one that Arthur is prepared to make?
Faced with the King’s uncertainty, Merlin has just one chance to save him from his destiny, but this decision comes at the highest price.
Colin morgan is Merlin, Bradley James is Arthur, Angel Coulby is Gwen, Katie McGrath is Morgana, Richard Wilson is Gaius and John Hurt is the voice of the Great Dragon. Tom Hopper, Rupert Young, Eoin Macken and Adetomiwa Edun return as The Knights of the Round Table. Special guest stars include Frances Tomelty, Sian Thomas, Helen Schlesinger as the Disir and Andrew Tiernan as Osgar.
