What should Chris Brown do? Would people be happier if he killed himself? Should we not allow him to grow change into a better person? I get disliking him or not listening to his music anymore, but dude hasn't done wild shit in years.
Getting real tired of the narrative that abusers should be given free passes or even congratulated for the magnanimous feat that is 'growing and changing into a better person' and not abusing and harming people anymore. Wow, so brave, so special.
Not that it matters in this case because Chris Brown is still despicable and his music is fucking awful so there's not even the cognitive dissonance excuse of great art, bad person. We could all just end this nightmare by consistently, uniformly treating him like the sociopath he has been and continues to prove himself to be.
But apparently that's too much to ask, and apparently his dim star is of more value and societal capital than the pain and hurt he's caused and will continue to cause. Nobody is owed forgiveness, but the worst part is that Chris Brown has never even been condemned to the level he deserves.
