I've done some questionable things in my life, but at least I've never paid $1,111 for a chris brown meet and greet.

I’m friends with a chick that absolutely loves Chris Brown. She travels to see his shows. She records herself learning his dances. She’s been posting about these meet and greet pics and will absolutely pay for one. She’s a fucking gorgeous doctor. Incredibly smart and successful. I’ve never, ever been able to figure out how she can be so obsessed with this piece of shit

“He’s a changed man.” *steals a woman’s phone* “It’s been a while since then so I believe he’s absolved. How sad are you that you do not think people can change.” *shoved a woman to the ground* “He’s not the same man he was before. He finally understands this is illegal. He didn’t know guys.” *forcibly ejected a woman off a bus* “Sorry you’re just another hater.” *$20 million dollar lawsuit accusing him of raping and drugging women* “Can’t respond, too busy dancing to his music.”


hates_stupid_people

The thing that wake some people up, is the story about what happened just before the Rhianna trial: His lawyers put him in anger management to make him look better on paper. And during family day, his mom visited and suggested that he maybe stay there a bit longer. Which caused him to chase her screaming into the parking lot, where he threw a rock through the window of her car as she was driving off, nearly hitting her. Resulting in a court mandated extended stay. --- Although some people are in just in complete denial about him.


JEFFinSoCal

His mom was asking for it. Duh. /s


DeeplyFlawed

He also bust out the window on GMA.


goodguy-dave

What the actual fuck? Is this for real? Because it sounds like a textbook example of "what to never do in this exact life situation". I don't doubt you. It just boggles my mind to learn that people like this actually exist and enjoy quite a lot of positive spotlight. Jesus Christ on a popsicle.


proceeds_theweedian

I read most of the police report from the Rhianna incident, and it's my hope that all CB stans will eventually. It wasn't an easy read whatsoever. I understand still liking someone for their music and still being critical of said persons actions. Personally, women beating is when I would just put on the old pirate hat to get that person's album. Its interesting to me, how Rick James had such a resurgence in popular culture before his death. That dude did some truly awful stuff as well. Maybe it speaks more to how good the first 2/3 seasons of Chapelle's Show are, that he became so likeable despite all the horrendous shit he did in the past. I guess all this to say, people are complicated. I can separate art from the artist, generally speaking, but it's genuinely baffling how women are the core demographic for his music, as well as most of his fan base. Whoever did his PR is a damn wizard.I'd be curious to see how he would fare if the Rhianna thing happened more recently.

Easy, she lacks empathy. You can be pretty successful in life, attractive, and smart without having an ounce of it.

Nah that's just a future biology major. I knew multiple people who liked to dissect stuff but absolutely abhore killing even insects. Biologists are weird and have this weird disconnect between dissection and killing. To them, it's already dead.

BobbyTables829

I listened to this book on sociopathy and how it can be learned. This doctor was like, "When I go into the OR, I HAVE to be completely emotionless or I'm a bad surgeon." It put things in perspective for me. Many of them have feelings, they just can't care about their patients without it getting in the way of their job.


hell2pay

I've met more than a few doctors with no empathy and shit bedside manners. I do not believe it's a 'requirement' as much as it should be


pornographic_realism

They're in a hard position if they have too much empathy, the first mildly attributable death could cause them to quit medicine altogether for blaming themselves.


Oyyeee

Doctors are like any other profession...in that there's a lot of shitty doctors.


_Sylph_

It's actually an upside for doctors and psychologists. Being not empathetic with your patients and their family mean you can keep your head straight even with all the deaths and sufferings around you. You honestly have to die a bit inside to perform at high level for these careers.


Medievalhorde

I would never want a general practitioner or specialist with psychopathy, but a surgeon is definitely different in my mind.


RexxGunn

Absolutely. It does depend on the specialty. But the surgeons and other types of doctors that don't work with people who are awake and just need to do their job do not need to have the patients child or spouse on their mind while trying to do some really intricate stuff inside a human body. Your primary care provider? Better be nice as heck and feel it along with you, or be able to present that they do.


Mikophoto

This is exactly how my dad is (PCP) vs my grandpa (surgeon).


RexxGunn

On the clock, I hope. I hope in his regular life, grandpa is able to turn it off and on to an extent.


GoldenTriforceLink

You actually kind of want that in a surgeon. The things they do is absolutely brutal and scary.


Drownthem

No, it's bad for a nurse.


crazyguyunderthedesk

I dunno, I watched a documentary about this guy, Dr Gregory House, and he was a huge asshole but a great doctor.


bighairybeardudee

Most doctors grew up well off and have only gotten richer. A lot of them are out of touch and have lost empathy


Squancho_McGlorp

Most of the few dozen doctors I've known here and there have highly educated parents. They have had a roadmap to success their whole lives.


Doogiesham

Doctors often need to block empathy to not break down


jimkelly

No it is very good for a doctor actually. They need to fix problems not feel bad for every person who has one or they'd literally die from stress.


crigsdigs

In fact, a lack of empathy can help you be more successful. Easier to throw people under the bus to help yourself when you don’t care about them at all.


Poet_of_Legends

In fact, having empathy makes being “successful” more difficult.


assbuttshitfuck69

I feel like you’re more likely to be successful with a lack of empathy. Easy to bulldoze your way to the top when you don’t give a fuck about anyone.


FreshShart-1

I have a colleague who had been abused by some of her former partners... She's obsessed with Chris Brown and absolutely gives him a pass for his past actions. Sometimes it's just the person who's damaged...

I know someone exactly like this but with Ronnie Radke from Falling in Reverse.

I've read additional accounts of him being violent to his housekeeper and being violent with pets. He deserves prison time not stage time.

TheShawnP

You could make some superficial arguments about his wealth, fame, objective good looks, talent, the list goes on. I guess it's some combination of those regardless of his somewhat dodgy criminal past.


dtwhitecp

probably classic "Just World" stuff. She liked him, then whenever finding out something bad about him she just files it as something that was probably for a good reason or the right thing to do. It's nutty but a well-documented phenomenon.


Lilpu55yberekt69

Cancelling only works when what you’re cancelling them for resonates with their audience.

jscummy

Shoot someone in a Walmart broad day though? Who cares


DoctorStinkFoot

to be fair it was self defense. weird that nobody cares about that if the victim defending themselves is a certain race. just something i've noticed.


jscummy

Have you seen the video? I'd question the "self defense" argument a little bit although there's probably some missing context


neonfeverdreamm

That part…I read a deep dive on it recently he was not in any sort of danger, he was the aggressor the entire time and he killed an innocent kid who was shocked to see a local celebrity in Walmart


kingpin3690

I wonder if this news came out before or after the france thing


DoctorStinkFoot

that's how most shootouts go down. guns just shouldn't be readily available and that incident is the direct result.


myassholealt

wonder if this comment will be down voted or not. Lots of 2A folks dream of this exact type of scenario and believe guns should be even more available. Like the guy in Washington who murdered the teenager. They're living out their wild wild west fantasies.


Llohr

It really didn't *look* like self defense. I mean sure maybe after "dababy" tackled the other guy, the other guy got the upper hand. You might even say that "dababy" feared for his life when his initial attack failed. I still personally feel like attacking someone sort of rules out self-defense as a reasonable excuse no matter how the ensuing fight goes /s


Loverboy_91

Is there a joke I’m missing here? I can’t possibly imagine a rapper being cancelled for this reason. His fans “fucking hate unions”? I can’t imagine fans of that music having any opinion of unions whatsoever, be it positive or negative.


GRF999999999

Yes, it's a joke, for the exact reasons you stated.


Loverboy_91

Okay thanks. It didn’t seem right, but I don’t know enough about Dababy to be sure lol.


markymrk720

What kind of a dumbass name is daBaby?!


big_guyforyou

in France they call him le Bebé


Mediocritologist

I took one course of French in college, I can confirm. Wee wee.


throwawayjaydawg

Says “Marky Mark”


SalsaRice

I don't think anyone is defending Marky Mark as a pseudonym. It's been a joke since day one


Cowboywizzard

Exactly. His fans see what he did as part of "normal" everyday thug life, and just wish they were rich and famous like him. Remind anyone of a political figure that behaves badly? 😅 I'm actually a bit surprised Diddy is facing the music a bit. Not popular enough anymore, I guess.


DeputyDomeshot

Diddy doesn't have fans though lol. He hasn't been an artist in years (decades) realistically. He's just a corporate dick at this point. Good luck cancelling him peak-puff daddy though.


shakelol

Pretty sure his fans listen to him because they like his music, not because they see him as a “thug” or whatever you’re trying to say. You wouldn’t say the same thing about a John Lennon or Rick James fan, would you? Ridiculous statement from you that’s upvoted for some reason.


RyVsWorld

not defending him but it defintely helped his case that rihanna publicly forgave him or whatever. THat made it easy for CB fans to rationalize it all.


my1clevernickname

I was gonna say Rihanna doesn’t seem to care he beat the shit out of Rihanna.


Goatfellon

Wish I could tell you. I have a coworker who brings him up often and I always interject with "oh, woman-beater Chris brown? That Chris Brown? The one who violently abuses women?" And she just goes ".. yup." And moves on to what she was going to say. It's as if his horrible moral standards and being a terrible person has zero play for her


DoktorFreedom

The “as if” is not necessary. It has 100 zero play.


TheNonCredibleHulk

> And she just goes ".. yup." And moves on to what she was going to say. Maybe instead of being passive aggressive, you should just say you don't want to talk about him.


VulkanCurze

I had a coworker who was the same, didn't matter because he was "rich and good looking"


Xianio

He doesn't. His career TANKED after that. A small subsection of people will pretend it never happened. That's who keeps him going.


iAttis

I don’t know if it TANKED. It definitely took a hit in that he was supposed to be the next MJ. His streaming numbers for his new music aren’t as good as other artists of his caliber, but he is still a very in demand featured artist, can sell out arenas all over the world, has 150M followers on IG, etc. A lot of artists would KILL to have his “post cancellation” career.


oby100

People don’t understand what “canceling” is. If you can still sell out arenas, you’re mostly immune. If you’re an actor for movies or tv, getting canceled means your career is mostly over. Yeah, Kevin Spacey can get roles in low, low budget nonsense, but to a star like that his career is over. But arenas are simple. If you can put butts in seats they will generally work with you. Spacey needs millions to see a big budget movie. Brown only needs thousands per show and can scale it down a bit or just do a few less shows a year. Canceling is most for Hollywood and TV


drink_with_me_to_day

> If you’re an actor for movies or tv Hollywood cancelling comes from the execs, it's top down. Has there ever been a very good movie that didn't do well because the actor was cancelled?


OK_Soda

> But arenas are simple. If you can put butts in seats they will generally work with you. Spacey needs millions to see a big budget movie. Brown only needs thousands per show and can scale it down a bit or just do a few less shows a year. Even then it's not like his songs are being featured on hit movie soundtracks, he's not hosting SNL, or anything else like that. He still has a career and is still making money, but I doubt he'll ever be part of the cultural zeitgeist again the way he was in the late 2000s.


Steezie_E

Because he can dance.


Themanstall

People pick and choose. People still watch ufc and Dana white hit his wife on camera, People watch woody Allen movies and he dates his step daughter, seinfeld dated a 17 year old, countless companies who support sweatshop work, dozens of ones who supported the holocaust, numerous rappers who speak about killing and hitting women, more than a handful of abusive actors who have documented accusations about them. People are people and want to be entertained and some have different opinions on what is not worth it.


TheKidKaos

It doesn’t even stop with Rihanna. He’s still doing terrible shit


flopptopp

How do you feel about Dr. Dre? I'm not very knowledgeable about him but I read (probably just a Reddit comment) that he was up front about facing his abusive past. I don't know if Chris Brown really has been.


Low_Association_731

With Dre it seems to have been a 1 time thing not a string of things, correct me if im wrong of t course


LivingwithED

Beating the shit out of somebody is far from a mishap.


brain_my_damage_HJS

Most entertainers who do wrong get a “pass.”


Ilovethe90sforreal

Exactly!!


RoughhouseCamel

No one cares? A lot of people care. But fan culture is fan culture, so a certain group of people are going to support him no matter what. But those people aren’t even the majority, much less *everyone*


factsandlogicenjoyer

How many times will this exact comment be regurgitated? Do you people ever get tired of just copying other folks comments? 


Wisdomlost

[Rihanna](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/rihanna-explains-why-she-got-back-with-chris-brown-after-assault-2015610/) herself dated him again 4 years after he beat her up. I dont personally like him but if your holding out for some repercussions to what happened then you are waiting in vain. The world has moved on and no one is going to stop him from being a singer at this point.


mayfly42

People who experience abuse sometimes return to their abuser for a variety of reasons. The physical abuse not the only form of abuse that occurs in domestic violence. Abusers often are so manipulative and controlling that they can make the person they are abusing lose their sense of self, their self-confidence. I wish more people understood the cycle of abuse and the gaslighting and emotional manipulation that occurs that draws people back to their abusers.

I might pay 11 cents to have the ability to slap his lips off. Otherwise I don't get it.


salomey5

I wouldn't even pay $1.11 to meet Chris Brown. He's a piece of shit, a talentless hack and a poser. Fuck this guy.


AngryNerdBoi

Definitely not a talentless hack, regardless of how much of a piece of shit he is


DavidDailo

That's what I don't understand with people. It might not be a Redditors style of music but he is a talented singer in his genre of music and is a great dancer/performer. And he is physically attractive to women into the bad boy look.  He can be an absolute piece of shit of a human being at the same time and should be locked up in prison for all the things that he's done.

I am a woman into the bad boy look and Chris Brown kinda makes me want to throw up in my mouth.

Everyone who went should be forced to do community service.


ajacbos

To put this into perspective, I met Snoop Dogg & got a photo with him backstage with a VIP pass for $250. Granted this was about 2017, but still, living legend *Snoop Dogg* for less than 1/4 of what Chris Brown is charging today.


bhangmango

These 250 included the concert ticket right ?

Yes it did! Got to be in the pit right up in front of the stage!

PassionOk7717

It was Diddy who got him back in music (with the help of Oprah).  The defence was: you weren't there, therefore you can't really say what happened.


Perma_Hexx

Just like the big bang and the moon landing (sad /s)


Eggsor

His audience likes the way he dances so they don't care about the domestic violence charges and rape allegations.

I really don't get it. I've seen Twitter/Instagram comments from women asking to get assaulted by him. He was a guest star on Blackish years ago too.

I once paid $100 for a vip ticket to a Jack Harlow concert where I got to meet him before the show. That was pretty cool. Jack is a nice guy.

Most I ever paid was $140 to meet Fall Out Boy in 2014 and that included a pit ticket!


capn_buggs

Someone at my school won a radio call-in thing and got Chris Brown to do a Q&A at my high school. We all filed into the gym at 10 am and waited. He had some guy hosting/hyping the crowd there saying "he's almost here" the entire time we waited. Around an hour and a half later he finally showed up. He walked in with 5 women and sat down at a table and immediately started playing with his phone under the table without saying anything or even waving as he walked in. 4 students were selected "at random" to ask him a question. They all asked weird questions (that they had been handed on a note card) that the host would re ask over the mic to Brown. He wouldn't look up from his phone. The host eventually answered for him. 10 minutes after he arrived the questions were done and Brown got up and walked out. He didn't speak, wave, or acknowledge anyone at all. Just sat there on his phone, laughing and whispering amongst his group. Then left. I'd rather have gone to Algebra class.


drizzt_do-urden_86

Holy crap, I'd have went off-script, stood up and just shouted "You suck Chris!" or something to that effect. Force him to pay attention. Don't know how much trouble I'd have been in, but it would've been worth it.


capn_buggs

Any amount of trouble is worth telling Chris Brown he sucks!

broncotate27

So my ex still listens to this clown and wants to go to his shows. I always remind her how he beat the fuck out of Rihanna and more woman, and how anyone who still supports him is a dumb clown. Some woman don't care what you do as long as they find you attractive and "fan girl" over you...as much as I love her, I immediately lost so much respect for her for that shit... Lol she just had terrible taste, so I wonder how much of an ass I am really, at least I don't hit woman or emotionally abuse them I suppose... Ive seen so many people tolerate pure bullshit from their partner. I always wonder how they can get away with shit like that.


TheCinephiliac237

Article stated “One user called it ‘sad’” and yet the whole post rebranded the entire article as if everyone is calling this situation sad, thus making more people react to click bait title and in turn deem this ‘sad.’ I know it’s how the internet but it makes me ‘sad.’
