I'll tell you what double standards is: If Amanda is not afraid here that one of those days her children might google her and find this!

And this is their mother posting naughty posts. About someone not even around. That's better?

It's adult humour...whether or not it should be on this social media is really up to Twitter to decide.

Oh, so now Twitter is responsible for the stuff people are tweeting...? Great.
 

Also, I'm not sure they are "close friends"?
Not the way Martin described their relationship; he put it more in terms of them being colleagues who got on well when working together but didn't "hang out" (which caused another Twitter outcry. If I remember correctly!)
My issue is that BC isn't on Twitter, so he's not in on the joke - it's only "banter" when the person on the receiving end of it is aware that it's happening, surely?
Ah well, maybe I'm just being grumpy..

As for the "close friends" - the funny thing is that those who really seem to be close friends with Benedict like Adam Ackland and James Rhodes usually do not engage in that kind of "fun".

Well, he laughed about "bismarking" in the interview with Tom Hardy (for Stuart:A Life Backwards) - if he was offended it didn't show.  But I suppose his friends know better than I do!  Hopefully, it won't bother him.

Huh? She should be close enough to Martin to know, that he didn't mind Johnlocky stuff, at least the more artificial stuff.
Amanda can have quite an explicit and dirty humour if it fits her purposes but not if it doesn't
Not only double but multiple standards if you ask me.

 
I would agree with you that filming three eps of Sherlock with Ben and Martin means that she probably has a pretty good handle on BC's sense of humor. I've seen loads of places where Martin has made comments that were 'dirty' or 'profane'. He likes to shoot the bird in photos too.

It was all in good fun.

Possibly so.
There may also be a plethora of views on double standards,

Snootie,I'm perfectly aware that she refers to the said Star Trek Movies, but if it's good taste to do so on someone else's expenses, we will have to agree to disagree. And I stick with my opinion that I see double standards here when I consider her comments on johnlocky stuff. Bit not good. But I guess everything has been said in this thread.

 
I guess I thought you were referring to other board commenters here when referring to the double and multiple standards. That was my misinterpretation of your comment then.

 
Thank you for clarifying, snootie. It was indeed Amanda's double standards I was referring to, considering earlier comments of hers in interviews. Don't like it.

BB, I'm so sorry for being a pain at this, but where. is.the.difference?? She complained about the Johnlock fan art in respect to her children and I thought then " ok, I'm a mother myself, you might have a point there."
Buuut
Considering the choice of words or the level of sexual harassment if you wish to call it like that is by no means less or better. I wouldn't want my children to google their mother and find posts like that as little as the explicit fan art using Martins face. But in this case she takes it for a good laugh.
