Log off Tumblr.

OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't use Tumblr and have no interest in using Tumblr.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
With your use of Tumblr buzzwords, I doubt that.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Your description of them as "tumblr buzzwords" suggests it's you who needs to spend less time there.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, I probably do. Then again, Tumblr hasn't made me hate something I love.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-30 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I get your point and all but um... people on tumblr don't refer to anything as "tumblr buzzwords", that's a term the parents of tumblr users would use when they're trying to sound knowledgeable about the new-fangled social media thingy the whippersnappers are into these days.

Well then, log off whatever weird internet echo chamber you're frequenting and go join a tumblr that only shows gifs of Steven Fry saying funny things.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if I hadn't followed him on twitter to see his actual words, and never watched him on QI or any other TV shows where he's himself rather than acting, that might have worked.

Not sure why I should have to ignore him having become a sexist windbag just to please people who want to continue to adore him, but I guess that works for some.

You don't have to do either. You're perfectly free to continue grousing about cis oppression, or whatever else has got your goat at the moment. Although, if I recall correctly, he does have some sort of Asperger's or something. So really, by being too judgmental about what he says, you're showing your neurotypical privilege.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He has bipolar disorder, which I also have.

I don't think you're very familiar with these issues, as you meant cis privilege, not cis oppression.

My main problem with him is his sexism.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
u need to troll harder than that, friend

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you serious?

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL no. Having aspergers does not entitle you to be a fucking dickbag and write long flouncy rants justifying being a dickbag.

Or to say that women don't like sex and don't find guys attractive, but have the misfortune of having to be in relationships with men anyway, and so it must be terrible to be a woman.

Actually, claiming that non-neurotypical people are mindless children with no possibility of growth or development and who are so mentally sub-human that they can't take responsibility for their actions or comprehend the concept of apologizing after being a dick, and therefore should never be judged by the standards of human decency, is pretty much the most privileged and ableist thing I can imagine.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS.
And he has bipolar, not Asperger's.

Asperger's doesn't make you say sexist or otherwise daft things.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Shows like QI or any show where he's presenting is also acting, just acting of a different kind, anon.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
He hasn't "become" anything. He's just himself. Still charming, still brilliant, still funny, still totally full of shit about some things. Sorry that last one's a dealbreaker for you.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-30 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. People get disillusioned about celebrities mainly because they never had a clue in the first place about what their favorite celeb is really like, all they had was a fantasy built up in their heads.

"Log off whatever echo chamber is only telling you Fry is bad and go to a different echo chamber that will only tell you Fry is good!"

Did people ever use the phrase 'echo chamber' correctly or was it fucked from day zero?

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, cos how dare anyone not adore him?

Maybe because they listen to more of what he says than you do.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-29 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I had the same realization about Stephen Fry before tumblr even became a thing

You don't need to be on Tumblr to hear about Stephen Fry. The fact that he has just left Instagram was literally a front page story on the Guardian yesterday. And dumb things he's said (like about women not wanting sex because they don't go cottaging) are publicised to a similar extent.
