Benedict Cumberbatch is also disliked on this site NOT for being ugly but because of racist, homophobic, and anti-autistic comments at the height of his fame when the people liked him for playing a gay man as autistic coded (a real gay man! Who was probably not autistic!). People call him ugly because he’s the only man in the world who looks the way he does.

good fucking lord

let me find that post where I about DISPROVED 99% OF THOSE STATEMENTS, hm?

okay, HAVE ALL THE REASONS WHY EVERYTHING Y’ALL THINK ABOUT CUMBERBATCH IS WRONG EXCEPT FOR THE AUTISM COMMENTS AND EVEN THOSE WERE LESS BAD THAN WHAT YOU THINK.

also, since you can’t go on wikipedia:

Cumberbatch is a straight ally and in July 2013 officiated at the same-sex marriage of friends. For International Women’s Day 2014, he was a signatory of Amnesty International’s letter to the Prime Minister David Cameron for women’s rights in Afghanistan. Cumberbatch identifies as a feminist.

In 2014, Cumberbatch publicly backed “Hacked Off” and its campaign for UK press self-regulation by “safeguarding the press from political interference while also giving vital protection to the vulnerable.”

In a November 2014 cover story for Out promoting The Imitation Game, Cumberbatch opened up about sexual experimentation during his time in boarding schools stating, “While there was experimentation, it had never occurred to me as, ‘Oh, this is that!’ It was just boys and their penises, the same way with girls and vaginas and boobs. It wasn’t out of desire.” LGBTgroup Stonewall released a statement praising Cumberbatch’s comments, saying, “Seeing someone in the public eye – especially somebody as influential as Benedict – talking positively around gay issues, is powerful for young lesbian, gay and bisexual people. It is often difficult for those growing up to find role models who demonstrate that it is equally okay to be gay or straight.”

Cumberbatch is a founding member of the “Save Soho” campaign which aims “to protect and nurture iconic music and performing arts venues in Soho.” In an open letter published in The Guardian on 31 January 2015, Cumberbatch, amongst others, asked for pardons of all gay and bisexual men who were convicted under the same now-defunct “indecency” laws as Alan Turing was (whom Cumberbatch portrayed in The Imitation Game).

Cumberbatch is an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust.

He is a supporter and patron of organisations focused on using the arts to help disadvantaged young people including Odd Arts, Anno’s Africa and Dramatic Need.

Since portraying Stephen Hawking in 2004, he has been an ambassador, and in 2015 patron, for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and in 2014 did the Ice Bucket Challengefor the organisation.

He also set up a recovery fund for the benefit of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association.

Cumberbatch has donated artworks for charities and fundraisers including the Willow Foundation, and Thomas Coram Foundation for Children.

In 2003, Cumberbatch joined the Stop the War Coalitionprotest in London against the Iraq War.

He addressed activists in a 2010 protest sponsored by the Trade Union Congress in Westminster on the suggested risks to the arts due to spending cuts expected in the Spending Review.

In 2013, he protested against what he perceived were civil liberties violations by the UK Government.

Together with Prince Philip, Cumberbatch presented 85 young people with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at St James’s Palace on 19 March 2014. “Our ambition is to extend this opportunity to hundreds of thousands across the UK”, Cumberbatch said on behalf of the youth awards programme.

In May 2014, he joined Prince William and Ralph Lauren at Windsor Castle for a cancer awareness and fundraising gala for the benefit of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. Cumberbatch stated, “Cancer isn’t a disease that needs much awareness, but it does need continued funding for research.”In September 2014, he participated in a video campaign for Stand Up To Cancer.

Cumberbatch posed for photographer Jason Bell for an exhibition at Pall Mall, London from 16–20 September 2014 to mark 10 years of the “Give Up Clothes For Good” charity campaign, which has raised £17 million for Cancer Research UK.

In September 2015, Cumberbatch condemned the UK government’s response to the migrant crisis in a speech to theatregoers during a curtain call at a performance of Hamlet, for which he stars.

He also fronted a video campaign to help the charity Save The Children in its mission to aid young Syrian refugees.

He was one of the signatories of an open letter, published in The Guardian, criticising the government for its actions regarding the refugee problem.

He also gave nightly speeches after his curtain call as Hamletat the Barbican in London, asking for donations to help Syrian refugees. At the end of the run, the audience contributed more than £150,000 for Save the Children.

Cumberbatch was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2015 Birthday Honours for services to the performing arts and to charity.

ah, yeah, he said a few ignorant things plus a bunch of stuff TUMBLR decided was racist when EVERY DAMNED BLACK ACTOR IN THE BRITISH INDUSTRY THOUGHT DIFFERENT, what a piece of shit, he totally hasn’t done more for charity on his own than all of tumblr put together.
