What do you guys think of Chris Brown after he threatened a woman with a gun?

[KevinM1]

I give the same 0 fucks as I did before.

Apparently not...

Why, because I posted in this thread?

The first time was to explain my feelings on celebrity 'news'. The second time was to reiterate my stance in light of the new info you provided. The third - now - is to further clarify.

I do not care about Chris Brown. I care so little, I actually thought it was Bobby Brown. He's only taking up brain space due to cultural osmosis when everyone was in a tizzy because his daughter ODed and died. I know of them, to various degrees, but that's about it.

Now, let me be very clear: while I don't care about individual celebrities or stories like this, I actively loathe meaningless gossip-as-news and our culture's insatiable hunger for it. I'm an avid sports fan and gamer, but there's a difference. I decide when I want to partake in those activities. I find basketball boring, so I ignore it. Outside of transcendent individuals (Lebron, Curry), I couldn't tell you anything about the sport. I don't even know anything about the Celtics, my home team. And that's how I like it. But with celebrity bullshit, it's everywhere. Everyone talks about it and keeps up with it like there's going to be a pop quiz. As much as I try to escape and ignore it, it seeps in. And it pisses me off because it's such a transparently cynical and manufactured distraction, and people gobble it up.
