[up]Yeah, I'd agree with the twat bit, probably, but I'm not sure where the ableist bit comes from.

I did some googling and..apparently he's an ableist because "he refused to depict Alan Turing as autistic"

"Benedict Cumberbatch finds people classifying his characters like Sherlock Holmes in “Sherlock” and Alan Turing from “The Imitation Game” on the autism spectrum “lazy.” He tells Metro that he thinks its “dangerous” to lump his characters into that disorder"

And he's a racist

He made comments acting like he doesn't want to inspire "false hope" for people on the autism spectrum, acting like we can't do anything "normal" people can or some shit. I read those statements and, as somebody on the spectrum, I feel fucking disgusted by those comments. I think he's a good actor, but I think he's also a clueless idiot.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
