all jokes aside benedict cumberbatch its racist and classist and also sees autistic people as subhuman so fuck him

Sources pls

sources!

racism:
beaniebag’s take on the August 2011 riots ignited over racial and economic inequality when a black man was shot by police: “I’m a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I’m all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road,” he says. “But those eejits saying they’re doing it for socio-political reasons? Fuck off, no you’re not, you’re on a jolly and you’re getting away with it. It makes me want to belt them, make them lame for a bit so they’re dependent on other people’s mercy…” (technically this one is racist, classist, AND ableist, but we’ll move on)

bramblepatch considers his roles as slave-owners to be “a sort of apology” for his entire family fortune being built on the slave trade…which is all well and good except he got paid millions of dollars for those roles. right.
granted, it can only be confirmed he feels that way about his abolitionist slave-owning character, but literally anyone could have played that role?? pretty sure he didn’t seek it out specifically as a form of atonement for hundreds of years of his family working slaves literally to death.

and let’s not forget he still defends his role as khan in star trek: into darkness, which…well, given that khan (in the original context) was a character who was genetically engineered with all the best genes on Earth and the intentional choosing of a man of color for that role was essentially a fuck-you to white supremacist/white-as-default notions, it’s definitely a sore spot and worth consideration in the context of benchmarktest computersmash’s family owning black slaves

classism:
revisiting the first link on racism, actually, for when bendytoot said “But my sympathy is with the people who do know what they’re talking about, who have been brought up on estates and live morally decent, contributing lives and who have seen opportunists destroying all their work.“

breadedbun talking about the Edwardian period: “There was a social structure that had to be adhered to… Everyone was held in their place, but what was honourable about it was that there was a duty of care from the top down.” (bonus: the statement he makes below this one in the linked article is fat-shaming)

ableism:
bindlesnoot comparing autistic people to frankenstein’s monster because they are, essentially, ”adult children” living in arrested development; there’s far, far more at the link as well

brimbledip becoming angry when people think certain popular characters he plays might be autistic (notably Sherlock and Alan Turing–who btw was an actual historical gay/bi man and that was all but erased and twisted in the movie about him :/)– because it offers ”false hope”

this is by no means an exhaustive list, but there’re some sources for you

For real, fuckkkkkkl Cumberbatch

It takes a special kind of person to be that mean.

people who complain about dinosaurs “not being scary anymore” because its been discovered they have feathers and are closely related to/ancestors of birds are so bizarre like

• its not about how scary they are, they are/were real life animals and what matters is learning more about them, not how well they fit into your science fiction horror film lol
• can you imagine a 13 foot chicken running at you with full intent to eat you??? thats fucking terrifying holy shit

peacocks are synonymous with vain, frivolous beauty and they will attack cars. they will attack you while you try to get to your car. they’re like six feet of useless feathers and they will destroy you. imagine if they were carnivorous and had functional spurs. 

a t-rex could look like a gay disco ball and i guarantee that you would fucking book it if it had a problem with you

listen

listen

have you ever met a swan

if anything the birdier they get the scarier they are

Australia literally fought a war against giant birds AND FUCKING LOST

@kidwithheadphones

Overheard in the student lounge:

“Oh man, I can’t deal with birds ‘cause they’re dinosaurs and sometimes it’s like they get this glint in their eyes and they remember.”

“Have you ever interacted with a goose? ‘Cause those things are dicks.”

If chickens were still the size of a T-Rex we’d all be dead. No question.

Feathered creatures that give some serious lie to the idea that feathered dinosaurs ain’t scary:

This is a bearded vulture, or lammergeier. It’s four feet long and has a nine foot wingspan and it eats bones.

This is a shoebill stork. It dropped the duck without biting down shortly after the picture was taken, but if it had decided not to-

… it could have been the end of the road for that duck.

This is the last thing a fish sees before a macaroni penguin eats it.

This is a secretary bird in the act of demonstrating to Lord Voldemort that he came to the wrong neighborhood, ese.

This is a goose.

This is a vulture.

This is a cassowary on the attack. 

Be glad I couldn’t find the actual gif of a pelican swallowing a fish, because it’s freakin’ Lovecraftian in its HEADS SHOULD NOT BEND THAT WAY factor. You’ll have to settle for the idea of a feathered dinosaur suddenly going GLORP and devouring its victims whole just like this lady here.

Steven Spielberg didn’t create these. These are the feet of an emu.

And this is what happens when a swan (this one is named Asboy; his father was Mr. Asbo, the first swan in the UK to get named after an anti-social behavior order in ‘honor’ of his tendency to attack boaters) decides it doesn’t like you. I should probably note that this one attacked a cow.

Respect the feathered dinosaur, yo.

Terrifying. The last two illustrate why you did not fuck around with the Children of Lir.

I suspected that a dinosaur could have been feathered after I heard that a T-Rex is the chickens’ ancestor.

For those who think dinos aren’t cool because they’re feathered…whatever, mutherfuckers.  Evolution doesn’t give two shits what you think is cool or not.

You showed a cassowary on the attack, but forgot to show what exactly it’s attacking with. Their feet are nearly identical to the Emu’s, except for one minor, teeny tiny detail: A five-inch claw for killing motherfuckers, raptor-style.

This is like the “fuck birds master post” and I love it because
Honestly,
Fuck. Birds.

DID I GHOSTWRITE THIS ENTIRE POST???

I’m glad to know that John Mulaney was an English major because it means when he says “college is just ‘I think Emily Dickinson is a lesbian!’ and they’re like ‘partial credit!’” he says it with authority.
