Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

[Marvin]

finally! - deconstructed Harry Potter through the lens of colonialism.

Lol no mention of the Stuarts, huh?

 

[Judge Holden]

Nobody tell them about the Darien scheme.

For those not in the know: Scotland bankrupted itself trying to establish a colony in central America (feeling the need to compete with England, which was also in the process of establishing colonies in the Americas), which led to Anne formalising her personal union of Scotland and England into the formal Union of Great Britain and Ireland, in exchange for England taking on the Scottish debt. Ireland also got merged in to the Union as part of the deal, but unlike Scotland, which was given representation within the Union, Ireland was a genuinely oppressed colonial possession; its only representation was among the colonial authorities and their collaborators. The Scots whining about English colonialism were more than happy to colonise Ulster in the meantime, where they expended a great deal of effort "pacifying" the natives and taking their property.

All of this belies the fact that the only noteworthy difference between "EVIL EVIL BAD EVIL GENOCIDE EVIL COLONIALISM" and the thousands of years of conquest and expansion waged by every nation and tribe beforehand (which funnily enough gets jack shit moral screeching aimed at it unless it was white western europeans pushing back against islamic invasion and occupation in Iberia, or retaking previously christian land in the levant) was the fact that the whole conquering using superior technology and logistics/taking slaves and war trophies/sending settlers/co-opting local elites/running the area for the benefit of the heartland/etc schtick was facilitated via boats instead of horses and carts.

The whole "uniquely evil colonialism" narrative is literally just a low-key continuation White Man's Burden where "native" kingdoms and empires are blameless and unreproachable children beyond any moral judgement no matter what heinous shit they did, whereas white kingdoms and empires....which in practice usually just means the UK and the USA with occasional guest appearances by France and Belgium...had the unique moral duty of magically fixing every single problem in the world and existing with perfect currentyear morality at all times for the past 500 years, and for failing this they must be perpetually condemned and spat upon as being infinity evil forever

Stephen Fry said some silly things on a podcast.

So it's okay to be wrong, to embrace misinformation and lies, in order to 'be effective', according to Fry. What does being effective entail? Castrating a whole generation of children? Luring people into the gender cult? Or just making trans and alphabet people the ruling class everywhere? Good lord Stephen Fry, shame on you.

This is of course the same Stephen Fry who, as they say, likes them young.

This guy did a long article on Stephen Fry and his attitude to under age boys, but the main part needs a subscription to access. Anyone seen the full version?

Regarding the timing of his remarks, it looks like he won’t be involved in the Harry Potter remake, so he’s now having a bit of a tantrum

The very same Stephen Fry who, apropos of discussing that while speech is nice you must BE KIND, launched in to "Where is your sympathy for the stunning and brave trans children?" on Triggernometry, of all places, earlier this year:

Well, yet another disappointment. Go sleep with a pooner and tell us all how much a heckin valid man she is, Stephen.

I can't be certain, but I feel he shifted gears after Neil Gaiman's scandals broke.

Maybe he just is that spineless and desperate to be liked, but I also can believe that there are some scandals lurking about.

"A bit of Fry and Laurie" was funny - he co-wrote that, but it was ages ago.
"Jeeves & Wooster" was fine. Same with QI.

Now, he sort of pops up, from time to time, and lends his "national treasure" character to things that are currently popular, or fashionable.

He needs to play the tranny game, if he wants to keep getting those gigs. Definitely spineless, and desperate to be liked - as you said.

He wrote a couple of books as well, most recently retellings of Greek myths or something (didn't read them) and he narrates audiobooks.
But oh well, he does suffer from an actual mental illness (bipolar disorder), which I do think is true and not a modern day "I need to be special" diagnosis. And I just recalled how he flounced from Twitter at least two times because he could not deal with being criticized for some minor lukewarm take he had. So he doesn't have the mental strength to cope with any sort of controversy.

It's just, I do think he would still be able to get work without having to suck up to trannies and whine about Rowling. He probably does not want to get cancelled, but who knows if that would even happen. Either way, he at least should be smart enough to not give retarded statements like "she was radicalized by TERFs".

Of course, you're all skipping over what an obvious pederast he is and how he's outed himself many times through his plays, books and tv appearances. Can't stand the pompous twat. He is truly the meme of the "what an idiot thinks a smart person is" I wonder if there will be a Savile style reveal when he finally croaks or if it'll get swept under the rug due to him being a gay jew

I stopped watching QI when I learned about his marriage to someone 30 years younger than him.
It was all a bit too "Catholic priest" for my taste.

There are age gaps in heterosexual relationships as well, but, I don't know...

Double post, innit. Back to peado Fry.

Fuck me. That was bad. Fry's little autobiography tells me that he absolutely should have been a Catholic priest.

From his stay at Uppingham: (a private school)

"You could openly admire a pretty boy, and all the middle and senior boys did. It was a sign of manliness indeed to do so. ‘Just ten minutes alone, me and that arse...‘ a sixth former might say as a cute junior walked past. ‘That’s all I ask,’ he would add looking skywards in prayer. ‘Oh no!’ One senior would clutch another as they caught sight of a comely new boy, ‘I’m in love. Save me from myself.’

I think that the logic of it was that new boys, pretty boys, were the closest approximation Uppingham offered to girls. They were hairless in the right places and sweet and cute and comely like girls, they had fluffy hair and kissable lips like girls, they had cute little bottoms like ... well, they had cute little bottoms like boys, but hell, any port in a storm, and there’s no storm like pubescence and no port like a pretty boy’s bum. All that public swooning however, was no more than macho posture. It proved their heterosexuality".

Stephen Fry loves the idea of putting boys on puberty blockers. It let's him enjoy 18 year old guys that look like they're prepubescent. The pooners on gay hookup apps are annoying, but he can ignore those if that means he can get his castrate boy toys.

One suspects that Mr. Fry may be a near future BBC "lessons will be learned" candidate.

On the subject of Stephen Fry and his history with teenagers and young boys. I was a fan of his back in the day, in his Twitter days, and there were things he did in that time that now stand out to me when I look at his odd behavior, that everyone else, including his die hard fans ignored. (People I no longer associate with because they were basically stalkers, but that's a whole other story.)

Looking back on it, he did a lot of public behavior that should have gotten him in trouble, because he never hid any of it, yet nobody cared. One thing I remember for certain: he followed a lot of teenage boys, and all of it wasn't hidden. I remember one time, he invited that Charlieissocool YouTuber when he was underage to go see QI and meet him backstage, and there were photos of it for everyone to see. I've heard stories about him inviting teenagers more than once.

One huge red flag in my fan days with him was the time he followed a teenage boy in 2014 maybe, it was a long time ago. But the guy was clearly underage, IIRC, he was 14. The guy was obviously starstruck and even publicly flirted with Stephen in public, and Stephen replied to him more than once.

The creepiest part were the DM's. Stephen kept DMing a 14 year old, and the kid was posting them all for the public to read. Stephen eventually stopped talking to him.

But nobody said anything about how creepy it was that a man his age was DMing a teenager. And that kid wasn't the only teenager he DM'd. He's DM'd a lot of gay teenage kids. Unfortunately I can't find the old tweets because I forgot the guy's name. But I did witness that stuff a long time ago.

The QI outtake for season one comes to mind. I'd have to do some deep searching, but Stephen made some offhand comment disguised as a joke about kissing teenagers, or preferring kissing them because they are "smoother."

Even the other QI panelists looked disgusted by that.

Stephen Fry also appeared in one of Alex Day's videos as well, who if I recall, was a friend of Charlie's before that scandal came out and Charlie pretty much cut ties with him. He also did a cover of some song that Alex made. So he got involved with that. I definitely think Stephen took advantage of young gay fans on Twitter who idolized him, and would be too starstruck to call out his creepiness.

There was also the time he accidentally linked to some YouTube video (from a separate account) that was basically screenshots of young barely legal looking gay twinks that were in suggestive poses, when he actually had a Tumblr account. He promptly deleted his Tumblr page after, because people were questioning it.

Sir Stephen Fry

Sorry to go back over old ground re: Stephen Fry being a creep, folks - I know this isn't the Fry Derangement Syndrome thread! - but I had a bit of a revelation the other day and I feel like it ought to be recorded for posterity, even if it is rather off-topic.

You know how nobody likes tranny comedians, because every other joke they tell is about being trans? To the point where sometimes the punchline is just 'traaaaans'?





...Yeah.

There was LOADS of that shit in A Bit Of Fry and Laurie, and I've literally only just realised how much. These aren't even the only examples I could find. And it's even creepier, because in hindsight, it's obvious, at least to me, that Stephen very clearly had a crush on Hugh Laurie.

 

[General Patton]

I'm not so sure he had a crush on him, maybe in his early 20s. Hugh Laurie now at his age isn't his type. Stephen clearly likes teenagers.

 

[CryoRevival #SJ-112]

it's even creepier, because in hindsight, it's obvious, at least to me, that Stephen very clearly had a crush on Hugh Laurie.

I remember him saying once that the only reason he could work only with him so closely for so long is because he wasn't attracted to him.
Whether that's true or not, who knows. Comedic duos sticking together for a long time seems to be a thing in the UK comedy scene.

What did he mean by this?

 

[Vesperus]

To be fair, that's just British comedy from the before times.

Fry is an absolute screaming poofter, and he leans into it because that's how self depreciating humour works: I'm not putting money on it, but if turns out he's the only person at the BBC who hasn't buggered a 12 year old, I would not be shocked.

Stephen likes men that look like teenagers. Hugh has never looked that way.

This is how Elliott looked in 2013 (when the public wasn't even aware Stephen was dating him.)



And if you go back far enough to before Elliott, Stevie Webb, his ex looked like a teenager.



There's a pattern if you look deep enough. Both of his younger boyfriends were also around 26 when he first started dating them. It's harder to find information about Stephen and Stevie because people didn't pay attention to them. He tends to date adults who look like teenagers.

 

[Prince Vegeta]

There was LOADS of that shit in A Bit Of Fry and Laurie, and I've literally only just realised how much.

To be fair, that is all British comedies, it's less about the gayness and more about the comedic juxtaposition between British proper behaviour and vicarious embarrassment through naughty or taboo things. From stuff like Carry On, Are You Being Served, and 'Allo 'Allo to skits in the The Fast Show or even non sexually focused comedies like Father Ted (milkman episode not included). It's the classic teehee how uncouth humour.

Tax:

Is it "rich old men date people much younger than them"?
Because I don't think that's the forgotten wisdom of the ancients. You're just noticing because Fry has the gay.
Edit: And I'm not sure it's limited to men...

It's "rich gay man pervs over teens so he dates adults who look like teenagers" more than just some rich guy dating younger. The crazy part is that it's one of those in plain sight deals. He's never hidden it. But he dates adults, to play safe.

I'm GenX, and divorced. I have divorced GenX friends.
You're literally describing the default state of humanity.

The only difference is he has to find a faggot in sea of pussy.

 

[Dr. Butt]

self depreciating

Your English is really good, but FYI this phrase is spelt "self-deprecating"!

Are those people secretly direct messaging 14 year olds, though? Hell, just knowing that, JK Rowling was lucky to lose him as a friend tbh.

 

[Vesperus]

It should be, I'm English.

No, deprecate and depreciate are two different words.
Depreciate is the opposite of appreciate.
Deprecate is used in a similar way, but pertains to value as judged by an external force (i.e. "Your mom's Honda Civic is deprecated")
I guess you could argue that entropy means everything self-deprecates by existing, but that isn't what I was going for.

*Ponders*
Probably. At least two of them. Although those are probably also GenXers working for the FBI pretending to be 14.

I suppose when I compare what you've said, to me, there's a difference between dating someone who is younger as an older person, and being in your 50s and 60s and writing to underage people all because you get your jollies off of their attention, and knowing they're naive teenagers.

If anything comes out about Stephen, and one day it probably will, I won't be surprised. He's like Jimmy Savile though. Dude is connected to royalty and everything, and has a lot of connections. He's honestly gotten away with a lot, based on the years I was a fan of him and what I saw.

Like I said, JK Rowling was lucky to get unfriended by Stephen. She would have been friends with a pedophile.

We shall see, I guess.
Fry still gets most of his money from the BBC so I'm not going to judge him too harshly until I have no choice .

@Dr. Butt Maybe this is an American vs. British English thing?

 

[General Patton]

My friend used to say he was made of teflon. He'd fuck up and get shit flinged to him, but it never stuck.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

usually just means the UK and the USA with occasional guest appearances by France and Belgium..

Fun fact: South America is still angry at Spain for colonizing them and want them to pay reparations. For example Mexican leaders are regularily is bitching about Spain and so do other countries.

But HP takes place in a fantasy world and authors in general can use whatever culture they want.
