[Stephen Fry]

[(Anonymous)]

Well, he is English

[(Anonymous)]

Objectively speaking, the English are the worst. See also: Brexit and Tories.

[(Anonymous)]

Lmao

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone is an asshole in some way, oh judgement OP. Even you. Especially you. You know why.

[(Anonymous)]

Not all people are equally assholes.

[(Anonymous)]

Fry is an incredibly interesting person-- tragic backstory, unrequited love, mental illness, tremendous talent. He's also a massive dick. The two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

What is his tragic backstory and who is his unrequited love? He's married to a twenty-something now and is a millionaire so I guess it turned out okay for him.

[(Anonymous)]

+1. I can appreciate his comedic talent, but I don't have to like him as a person.

[greghousesgf]

yeah, who IS his unrequited love?

[(Anonymous)]

OP I feel almost exactly the same as you. It took me a while to realise he was an asshole and then I wasn't sure how to feel about him and his work.

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoy his fictional work, but the less I know about his real character, the better. I don't want actors to get in between me and my favorite characters (Jeeves) - because really, we're talking about actors here. You have people fawning over them for basically playing dress up. That's gotta mess them up so no wonder they're all dicks. I'd be too if people we're kissing my ass over such a ridiculous thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I have this problem in real life. I don't know how to deal with few people who hide behind their depression to be complete wankers. I know I should feel sorry for them but I've been hurt too many times to be able to do so.

I can admit I'm a massive cunt but at least I ain't hiding behind anything. I just don't like most people.

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I feel exactly the same. I used to be a huge Stephen Fry fan, I loved his books, and Jeeves and Wooster and Fry and Laurie. But every time he's said something, it's either been sexist, asinine and smug, and I just don't like him anymore. He went from being sexy and intelligent in my eyes, to some pompous out-of-touch asshole.
Also I don't have bipolar disorder, but I have anxiety and depression, and ADHD, and I don't use those as an excuse for being a dick. So. :/

[(Anonymous)]

I could have made this secret. I was a huge fan of his work and of him for a long time but in recent years he's been such a condescending asshole. It put me off him and I recently discovered that it's put me off his work, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, anon. I used to love him, admire him, enjoy his work...but he's such a fucking misogynistic prick that I don't gaf about him anymore. :( Just another disappointing man.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone with bipolar disorder: it's not a get-out-of-asshole-free card.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been out of the loop on Stephen Fry for a while, and am surprised that pretty much everyone commenting on this secret seems to think he's a total asshole now. Does anyone have a clip or article where he is being misogynistic/assholish etc? He's always been pretty pompous so that doesn't really bother me.

[(Anonymous)]

"taint"

lol

Yes, I'm a child.

[(Anonymous)]

Never liked him, even when I got a lot of flack because he was apparently a "National Treasure" and cleverer than anyone and it was somehow compulsory to venerate him. Huh - I know several members of my OH's family and our circle of friends who are a lot cleverer and, more importantly, a whole lot nicer as people.

[(Anonymous)]

He did well enough in comedic roles but yeah he's an asshole and really not that clever or even highly educated.

[arcadiaego]

He's very ignorant on some subjects, but is treated as if he's an expert on everything because he's well read and has a posh accent. It's the curse of the English to look up to people who sound rich.
