Chris Brown and his fans. I hate them both equally. Firstly Chris Brown, he beat up Rihanna. That instantly and forever more makes him a pathetic coward. Secondly, he then has the nerve to just continue making music, like nothing happened, like he isn't a common thug.
Now his fans. The vast majority are female. Someone said something along the lines of: 'thank you Chris Brown for demonstrating that as long as you can sing and dance, you can beat up women, and other women will still love you'. I mean, how bloody stupid do you have to be to support this guy? both by defending him and paying for his music. I hear stuff from his fans like: 'we shouldn't focus on his past, we should focus on his talent, let the past go' Are you freaking kidding me?!? I suppose they would agree with me if I applied that line of thinking to Hitler. So what? Let it go, he killed 6 millions jews, but he was a great artist right? That's what we should be focusing on.
Finally, society. I hate a society that would allow this thug to continue profiting from singing fucking songs because it puts money in their pockets.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
