How does this piece of shit still have a career? I genuinely do not understand how anyone could be a fan of his after everything he has done. Yet he is clearly still doing gigs, so there must be many who have repeatedly forgiven him.

I do think that people can change and learn from their mistakes. However, I am sick of hearing about this man and his latest victim. He is a danger to the public and needs to be in jail for life.

GRRRRRRRR!

I hear you, OP.

Saw a post on IG the other day saying how great a dad/guy he was for taking his kid (daughter?) to dance rehearsal at a stadium...

HE BEAT THE UTTER SHIT OUT OF WOMEN

Don’t get me started on his new song about ‘waking up in Chris Brown’s body’...Htf those celebs could bear to do cameos in the video...Christ. Scum.

Can't stand the misogynistic little prick, i always switch the radio station if his absolute trash comes on.
People have forgiven him because he's only a woman beater and who actually gives a fuck.
It's so depressing.

I read the full blow-by-blow account (pun not intended) of his attack on Rihanna. Speechless.

The wall-to-wall playing on the radio stations of that song Thunder always reminds me of how little society really cares about male violence, full stop, and to females in particular.

It's like people are suddenly blind, can't see, can't hear the facts, because, you know, it's 'business'.

It gives a really disturbing message out to the upcoming generation.

Luckily paedophilia still seems the one thing that means males are blacklisted from future support and worship in the media once they're found guilty of it.

But who knows how long that will last in this current culture of boundary slippage. (I'd recommend the powerful threads on highlighting that slippage from Dr EM on twitter: twitter.com/PankhurstEM. She's incredible at shining a light on this dark area).

He has a daughter? That is very upsetting. That poor child.

I still can't believe his "Rhianna" tattoo either. I know he has done much worse, but to get a tattoo of the woman you abused? Sick fuck.

It’s not the main issue, but I hear that fucking song and think: Ed Sheeran?! Kendall Jenner?! You needed the money that much, huh? Cunts.

I don't like him either, but DV offenders often do it because that is what they saw happening between the adults at home when they were young.
whenever I see his picture, I just think of a small 6 year old who probably saw his parent punching the other one, and what that was teaching him.

Agree with pp earlier though who said it shows that society places such little value on the life and wellbeing of a woman.

Ed Sheeran - too many insecurity issues for me with him
Kendall Jenner- same, see above

Tea whilst I understand what you're saying, there are millions of DV offenders who choose not to repeat the actions of what they saw.

And whilst taking your point, if society endorses the actions of people like Chris, regardless of their background, it simply creates a circle of abuse that repeats itself. It has to stop and be condemned at some point as wrong. Not ignored and excused.

Just to emphasise that latter point: women witness violence all the time. We are victims all the time. We then get told we're lying. Yet somehow, somehow, women are predominantly trusted to look after even weaker children. Because, despite the amount of violence we are vulnerable to and regularly subjected to, despite living as third-class citizens WE DON'T RESPOND WITH VIOLENCE on the whole.

So men who think that the violence they've witnessed is a get-off clause, particularly when it is still aimed at women and children, can just fuck right off.

The particular male in question still has a career because male violence is not thought of as wrong.

@TeaAddict235

Chris Brown's mother had many abusive boyfriends. I agree that this will have negatively affected CB, and he has my sympathy for that. Additionally, it seems clear that he was sexually abused as a child, even though he doesn't word it in that way. He said he lost his virginity at the age of 8 to a 15 year old girl. However, he says that this was not unusual where he grew up.

I do sympathize. He clearly had a hard childhood. However, he is now an adult and needs to take full responsibility for his actions. If he can't trust himself around women, then he needs to never be involved with one.

To be honest, jail is probably the best place for him mentally. He needs counseling and a break from stardom. Some community service wouldn't go amiss either.

@pombear totally agree. I don't mean to imply that we in society should endorse DV at all to justify their upbringing. I only mean that for him to keep using violence against women (and not men) indicates a learned pattern, and he, like many other bastards of violence, seems incapable of considering another method of "reasoning".

I also agree with you @SPOFS, he is an adult and needs to take responsibility And address the awful violence that he must have witnessed. But that will take too long, and in the meantime he will have wooed another victim. Definitely agree with the community service, something like scrubbing the local dustbin trucks out from the inside. Or shovelling bio waste into an incinerator.

Thanks Tea - and this is what this forum is great for. Respectful, calm and informed debte. I got your original point and we're engaging in discussion.

So different from other threads on this board.

pombear I fully agree. I read Tea’s post I instantly thought, ‘oh Christ. Here we go. Someone’s about to get start and nitpick rather than choose to read between the lines, infer a full picture/not get pedantic and belligerent’

Much better board over here!
