Honestly, I don't like this meme :/ Just makes me feel bad for Rihanna, domestic abuse is fucked up.
Naw, what is fucked up is this guy is still making music like it never happened. Kudos to his public relations people who enabled a serial abuser to ignore the repercussions of his own actions. Hey guys, did you hear that new hit song he made?
That's very true. Whenever I see an artist collab with Chris Brown I immediately lose all respect for them.
That's part of why I like to share it. It sheds light on the fact that the piece of shit walked away without any serious consequences. He basically got a slap on the wrist and that was that.
Didn't spend any time in prison, didn't pay for psychological and/or physical damages toward Rihanna, (IIRC) wasn't ordered to take anger management classes, didn't really lose that many fans over the years because of this (which boggles the fucking mind), and lastly, NEVER was charged with a crime. I read a couple of days after the news broke, that Rihanna "decided" to not press charges on Chris Brown.
Like.... WTF?!?
He did lose a lot of fans! Give the people some credit at least, he's not nearly as popular as before and a lot of that is on him being an abusive monster.
Regardless, I get your perspective.
I like to process my traumas with humor.
