Oh great, now Jill Scott is defending Chris Brown

[recognitions]

@chrisbrown is amazing. How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional 🔥. There’s nothing to debate.

And then:

[tw abuse, victim-blaming]
I doubt it. My Mother’s ex husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation

I feel like in so many ways, culturally, we are still stuck in the hellscape of 2009 when people were just happily coming up with ways to excuse his abuse.

BTW I know I'm old as fuck because the zoomers are like "We need to support abuse victims like we supported Rihanna". I was there. There was no fucking support to be had. It was an absolute nightmare of indifference and outright victim blaming.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Lol yeah right!! Poor Rihanna did not the support she deserved. Everyone kept blaming her and trying to justify him.

The same zoomers who probably fell for the online campaign against Amber, right?

You just have to ignore extremely online 'zoomers.' I saw one of them say 'Zoomers' invented making fun of 9/11 which tells you everything. They have no real understanding of the past (culturally or historically) and think people in their age-range invented everything.

[lolitalockheart]

Zoomers are always so wrong about pop culture. I remember seeing shirts mocking Rihanna's abuse, among other horrific shit.

[amalgamade]

I remember some blog I was on had an ad for a flash game with Rihanna's abuse photo on an avatar with boxing gloves. Then there were his stans with the verbal abuse, "comedy" skits, SM jokes...and I feel like all that was compounded when they dated again.
