Agreed, came here to say this.

It's unfortunate that a beloved show had to end because of one guy being a gigantic douchebag. Which he was, and the show ending is his fault. Still feel bad for the fans who liked the show who aren't defending him.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The thing is that, at least from an outside perspective, it looks like the fact that Clarkson is a huge douchebag is like 80% if the reason that people watch the show

So, fuck em

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Difference between Clarkson the character acting like a douche for the camera, and Clarkson the man punching a coworker behind the scenes. Important not to get the two mixed up.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
But like

It clearly wasnt a character. He objectively is exactly that much of a douchebag.

And I suppose it's possible that some fans justified it to themselves by convincing themselves it was an act but tbh I doubt it.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
da

This, and he's been that much of a douchebag off-screen for years.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt

That doesn't mean they follow him outside the show, though

IDK maybe it's an America vs UK thing. But I think it would be safe to say most of the US people assume a large degree of "acting" - because with US shows, most of the time they aren't wrong

Then we all watch Simon Cowell for his douchebaggery on Idol but we've no idea if that's an act or not. We love watching Gordon Ramsay yell at people, but how many of us know how he is off screen?

Hell, we keep up with the kardashians over here.

nayrt* lol important typo

(Anonymous) 2015-03-31 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Without getting into the weeds of a serious argument here, the attitude that I've seen from Top Gear fans seems qualitatively different from what you're talking about. Much less detached insane soap opera, much more vicarious folk hero.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
We know Gordon Ramsay is a sweet man that loves cooking and can be kind and supportive to people that are really trying and is a doll with children. Seriously, have you watched his shows?

[personal profile] solticisekf 2015-04-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
He's nice. <3

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Americans aren't so dumb they don't understand that punching your producer because you missed a hot meal isn't acting, though.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
"He objectively is exactly that much of a douchebag."

You don't know him. No matter what you see in the media about him, you can't say "he objectively is exactly that much of a douchebag". That's objectively your *opinion*.

Note that I am not defending the guy's behavior. But we don't *really* know what's going on in his personal life. Not everything.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
wait, correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't he just beat the shit out of a dude for not getting him his food on time

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh he got him his food, and on time too, just the hotel's kitchen closed because the shoot ran long (which sounds like matter out of the producer's control) and it had to be a cold salad rather than steak. That must have been horrible.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wow sounds like he deserved a beating tbh, can really see Clarkson's side of the story here

[personal profile] solticisekf 2015-04-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
ikr.
btw, I've read it was cheese and cold meat rather than salad.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
In the UK that is what passes for salad.

[personal profile] solticisekf 2015-04-01 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Lol, sad but not far from the truth.
