Oh so after GBS became poo poo GBS which became GBS 2.0 which became whatever the fuk this was until recently, it is now D&D and rather than going hog wild I'm supposed to write up a dissertation about why maybe victims of sexual abuse weren't asking for it despite whatever Stephen Fry says, or whatever he said, to be honest I forget at this point. Blah

I didn't gather anything to that effect from Fry's statement. Maybe you're mad about something you imagined?

Okay op back from shaving and trimming and I thought about what you said.

Well Stephen Fry may be right here if I remember he also whines about people being mean to him on twitter.


This corroborates with my hypotenuse.

Yeah, troubled teen committed petty crime isn't exactly blowing my mind

I think given the way he shits on other troubled people who largely, unlike him, somehow managed not to be delinquents, this facette of his past and likely present is extremely relevant, but maybe I'm just crazy.

Could we instead focus on pleasant British tv personalities? Like Graham Norton, he seems like an all around swell guy. I bet his wife thanks her lucky stars every morning right after waking up.

Probably specifically on the minute, with 50 seconds of awkward silence and intense staring in between.

edit: It is called the Graham Norton show I believe. They have a segment where hey put normal people on a chair and have them tell stories about how they maybe saw Johnny Depp once on the tube, to the delight of an entire nation.

I agree with Stephen Fry. Trigger warnings are the dumbest thing to be appropriated from people with real problems by wannabe special snowflakes. Anecdotally I've found every person I've met who uses them in real life to be insufferable, so I may be biased.

It’s started to happen in the attempted removal of statues of people who are considered unlikeable – once beloved – and have become ‘un-persons’ in a very 1984-way.

I think he's right in saying that people should confront the poo poo that hosed them up instead of trying to make the world a super special safe place.

I think he's wrong in actively attacking rape victims for being too victim-y.

yeah he's pretty much saying "gently caress your stupid crybaby politics".

he doesn't support colonialism or blind veneration of colonialists. nobody does (minus a few crazies) , that's why bitching about the statue is stupid

I dunno. I mean, rape is really traumatic and people who have been raped deserve sympathy and understanding , but at the same time I could conceive of a level of whininess and self-pity that would not be justified by one's past traumas.

It's kind of like how racism is a serious social issue that needs to be addressed, but at the same time it is not impossible for individual accusations of racism to be frivolous.

I agree with this post but I don't think he was attacking anybody, he just phrased it insensitively to emphasize how much it bothers him like people generally do when they're annoyed at something, which was probably not a good idea on his part

its kind of like burning books imo

no one respects people who unironically burn books and no one should respect people who call for the destruction of historical monuments or art because their ideology at the time isn't 100% in sync with the current year

however, destroying historical monuments is what isis does, so i guess these kids are in good company
