Actor Stephen Fry Quits Twitter, Blames Social Justice Warriors

Breitbart: British actor, comedian, and TV personality Stephen Fry has quit Twitter, blaming his departure on people who are “offended on behalf of others.”

It’s not the first time Fry has thrown a strop over online criticism and quit — or threatened to quit — a social media platform. The actor & comedian quit the picture-sharing site Instagram last year, and has previously threatened to quit Twitter because of “aggression and unkindness” on the platform.

It’s hard to feel sympathy for Fry, who isn’t above doling out “aggression” on social media himself.
