Trolling Chris Brown: And now, some fucking hate mail →
I got this about a week ago:
Your a fucking wanker who needs to mother fucking get a life. who spends thier life making a hate website for a person who made a BIG mistake AND HAS MOVED ON FROM IT and doesn’t first give a shit about you and secOnd is richer than you and ACTUALLY HAS A LIFE!….
Unfortunately, I don’t think the fans are able to think as far as “it could have been me.”

All right, let me break away from the format of this tumblr a bit to talk about Chris Brown’s “How I Feel”, and how I feel about it. For a little background: Chris Brown has been dropping advance tracks from his upcoming album “Fortune” on his Twitter, one of which was a chorus-less, singing-less, all-rap anti-hater jam called “How I Feel.” Chris Brown apparently intended it as a baring of his soul, a look at his most complex innermost emotions, and predictably, Chris Brown’s fawning fanbase has declared it one of the most moving and deep songs they’ve ever heard:
“Chris brown is a really good guy, even if he hurts rihanna. He’s prooving it right now.”
“I have been down with Chris Brown since he strated, and he is proving that its hard being famous but you have to be better then all the shit that comes with it!!!”
“yo this song has alot of meaning behind it and i give breezy mad pps i like his music and this my favorite song of his.”
I sampled this glimpse into Chris Brown’s innermost thoughts, and the deep meaning behind this song? Turns out, it’s that Chris Brown is still a piece of shit. An angry, defensive, remorseless piece of shit, incapable of self-examination or empathy. Surprise, surprise.
Breezy introduces the song with “It’s how I feel, right? It’s only me, right?” Like my tweet above says, that’s exactly the problem with this song. I already know way too much about what he feels, and I also know that he doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about how others feel. It’s only Chris, right? Breezy is the only one that matters, right? Predictably, “How I Feel” tells me nothing I didn’t already know. During the course of the song, Brown alternately blasts haters, blasts fake friends, blasts journalists for “twisting his words up,” and brags about his success. Absent from the song is any acknowledgment that he did something to earn those haters. And if Chris Brown thinks it’s a revelation that stardom is hard, he also doesn’t listen to enough music.
“I try to show respect but you don’t give it/I guess you don’t understand winning”
No, I guess I don’t, Chris. I guess I just don’t understand why I should give respect to someone just because they’re famous and successful if they’ve beaten up their girlfriend.
Chris Brown addresses the assault incident as directly as he seems capable of, saying that at “nineteen, a nigga went through a tragedy/three years, a nigga just found a better me.” Chris Brown says he learns from his mistakes far more often than he demonstrates it, and even here, it’s clear that he won’t be honest with himself or with his audience about what he did. Note the bullshit “mistakes were made” passive phrasing of those lines, as if he suffered a tragedy instead of inflicting it onto someone else.
One thing he talks about more honestly is the helplessness he felt watching his stepfather beat up his mom. This stuff is at least interesting – more than the struggles-of-fame bullshit anyway – and the fact that he openly admits to wetting himself in fear is at least admirably candid (though not new, he’s talked about this before in interviews). But I can’t shake the feeling that he’s using it as an excuse for his own bad behavior. You’d think this talk of witnessing abuse would lead to an admission that he’s terrified of turning into the kind of monster he so feared as a child, but Chris doesn’t seem able to connect the dots. Instead, he brags about his musical success getting his mom out of the ghetto; Chris is inviting you to see him as a hero and a victim rather than a flawed human being, which is the only way a song like this could work. I could respect the story of his hard childhood if it led to any self-revelation, but it doesn’t. Kanye sings about how his girl caught him sending dick pictures to random females, Drake humiliates himself by drunk-dialing an ex, but Chris Brown refuses to deal with his own failures except in the most indirect way.
One line that I did like was, “If you kill a man, ain’t no way to bring him back” – I took that at first to mean that Chris Brown has finally realized that some things can’t be undone. But listening to it again, it sounds less like a genuine expression of regret and more of a defense mechanism. It’s seems like he’s saying that there’s nothing he can do about what happened, that people are giving him shit as if he could change the past, but he can’t, so everyone should just leave him alone.
Let me say this again: I did not immediately think, after the assault happened, that Chris Brown was an irredeemable asshole. It was listening to his miserable excuses, insincere apologies, and unchecked rage that got me to think that. There are some people who will never forgive him for what he did, but he could in fact do quite a bit more to earn forgiveness from at least a large portion of people – getting more counseling, speaking out against domestic abuse, or simply not being a shithead publicly or acting entitled to love and adoration. Most of all, he would need at least some understanding that he did something horrible and that no one owes him the forgiveness or validation that his fragile ego clearly wants. Blasting the haters for the zillionth time, this time in song, is the exact opposite of what he needs to be doing. And seriously, complaining that people “just don’t understand winning” would merit a punch in the dick no matter what crimes he committed.
The song finishes, “So I’mma keep on livin’ my life from day to day, learn from my mistakes.” I guess I believe him when he says he’s “found a better me”; I haven’t heard of him beating the shit out of anybody since he got arrested. But just because he’s a better person now doesn’t mean he’s a good person, and if he thinks his only mistake was losing his temper one night three years ago, then he’s not going to learn anything more from his mistakes anytime soon.
“Cock suckers low blowin’ under my belt,” Breezy whines. Remember, Chris Brown doesn’t like low blows; he believes you should aim for the eye or the mouth. Thank you, good night!

Actually, Twilight was fairly well-written. The characters Bella, Jacob, Edward, and a few others were poorly written and badly developed.
How can you say it was “fairly well-written” while simultaneously admitting that the core elements were poorly written?
Even aside from those elements, Meyer’s general sentence structure sucks, her attempts at suspense fail to be suspenseful, and her focus is, again, on these factors that you admit were badly developed at the expense of elements that could have been interesting in the hands of a writer who knows how to write.

Yes, it’s about sparkly vampires and werewolves fighting over a girl. Yes, normal vampires don’t sparkle..I get it. As a Twilight fan, I’ve heard it all.
Why do Harry Potter fans and Hunger Games fans, etc, bash on it so much? It’s a different genre, so it’s not like it’s competing with HP. That would be a bit different.
It’s the haters of the saga that make Twilight fans embarassed to be Twilight fans. And the books are so much better than the movies. And give it a chance before you hate and call it gay. It’s not gay.
We all have different intrests, deal with it and accept me for who I am instead of judging me for what I like.
Oh, and for the record, I am a Hunger Games fan too.

You’re right… it’s not gay… it’s paedophilia.
People wouldn’t hate it so much if it wasn’t so problematic against women’s rights and the whole pedophilia issue.
Don’t forget the abusive relationship part.
Yes, OP has rather missed the point. Sparkly vampires are inherently silly, sure, but that’s not the problem. I like a lot of silly things myself! You want to read about a sparkly vampire love story, I won’t stop you.
My problem with Twilight, and why I (and a whole lot of other people) ‘hate on it’ is the sexism, racism, glorification of abusive relationships, thinly veiled religious propaganda, highly questionable morality on the part of the protagonists, constant undermining of women’s rights, worrying subtext on vital and complex issues such as rape and abortion, and the fact that all this shit is aimed at pre-teen girls.
The fact that there might be young people growing up today who think that removing your girlfriend’s car engine so that she can’t visit her friend is a romantic gesture, scares me.
The fact that a guy falls in love with a baby and then grooms her throughout infancy to love him, even giving her a ‘promise ring’ when she is still a child and this is seen as a healthy relationship, scares me.
The fact that at one point two of the male ‘heroes’ have a conversation about forcibly knocking a girl out with drugs and aborting her baby without her consent, scares me.
The fact that this series of books is so popular really fucking scares me. As someone who has read all of them, I have nothing but anger and contempt for the series. So no, I won’t ‘judge you for what you like’. I will however, continue judging the shit out of these books, and I will not stop openly speaking out about how terrible and damaging they are.
