I keep seeing Stephen Fry being called a “genius” - why do people think that?
So I know a guy who worked with him several times as a cameraman, and according to him Steven Fry has a near-photographic memory combined with insomnia. So he reads a lot, and remembers a lot, just doesn't sleep so much. Almost any topic Steven is knowledgeable about apparently, no idea if the genius thing is true but it certainly sounds like he at least knows a lot. He was also a pleasure to work with, and very friendly with the crew. At least in one guy's opinion - and that guy is incredibly grouchy. More on reddit.com

Another celeb dissapointment: Stephen Fry
Given how much he continues to support Rowling and umm'd and ahh'd about "both sides" I can't say this is a surprise. Still sad though. More on reddit.com

Stephen Fry called a 'disappointment' for saying he no longer supports Stonewall. - (due to its support of trans and Intersex communities)

Typical wealthy cis white guy. "i won't inconvenience myself for others"

That he's gay is irrelevant, champagne gays are some of the absolute WORST for this "me me me" shit after all.

Yeah he SHOULD know better, but the fact is he doesn't care. He got his, screw anyone else. And from his perspective, Rowling and her stuff is a gravy train he's not willing to get off of.
