    I could listen to Maggie Smith read the declartion of independence backward and still be entertained the entire time!

      @Ber P. Why is he an insult to "gaydom"? Just because he's a dick to almost everyone? The reason he treats everyone else like shit is because he's so miserable in his own life. While I wouldn't say that's an admirable trait, I would argue it makes his character more complex and interesting.

    • @raraavis7782

      Maybe because a lot of other people in the series struggle and suffer just as much and don’t constantly take it out on others? I mean, not having a love life wasn’t really the exception for a servant, it was more like the rule. As a man, you wouldn’t have been able to marry before you were able to provide for a family...which could easily take till your mid twenties or longer. And as a young women...well, I think the example of Ethel made it abundantly clear, what happened to a girl in service, that stepped out of line in that regard. Or think of Mrs Hughes...who clearly had never been intimate with a man EVER, before she married Mr. Carson. Same for Mrs. Patmore. Or Mrs O‘Brian. Or do you think, they felt less lonely, just because they‘re women and not particularly attractive? I‘ve never seen anyone comment on how sad their lack of loving partners or the chance of a having a family is.
      So him being ‚lonely‘ or whatever is hardly an excuse for being the miserable son of a bitch he was 95% of the time.
      He wasn’t bullied or humiliated or whatever...except maybe that one time, Carson told him off. He was treated perfectly fine and given chance after chance after chance....only to revert back to stealing, cheating and bullying. Not to mention, that he was a coward, who got himself shot in the hand by design, so he would be send home from war. And still he thought, he was better than everyone else.
      He is really a completely despicable character...but all is excused, because he’s an unhappy gay guy (and pretty, of course) Oh, bu-huh. People 😏
