I can think of many reasons to not want at baby at 19 with a nutter. None of them involve damaging my image as the lead of a boy band

If he really didn’t want a baby then he could have used a condom or got his tubes tied, but hey it’s not his fault for getting her pregnant and making her painfully evacuate her womb onto the bathroom floor because going to a clinic would have been too scandalous for him, she’s just a crazy hysterical woman

JT cheated on her basically every chance he got and even bragged to his friends about it, she cheated on him once in retaliation. At one point he got her pregnant and then pressured her into having a traumatic in-home abortion even though she wanted to keep the baby, presumably because being a father would have hurt his image. He then broke up with her in a text message and immediately began painting her to the press as a cheating whore who ruined their relationship, completely failing to mention his own rampant infidelity. His early hit song Cry Me a River is a thinly veiled diss track about her and he still sings it live to this day.

somehow i care a lot less that an entertainment-industry-manufactured-couple was unfaithful to its stated pr purpose, except for the fact that both of them were pressured into that parasitic industry by their families, who deserve 100% of all criticism. but maybe thats just me.

I don't like JT because of what he did to Britney (and Janet), and he was enabled to do those things because society rewards and enables men screwing over women for their own personal gain. Does that make sense to you or should I break out the crayons?

Justin Timberlake sounds like an immature jerk who did bad things but the real villain in the story is the family that cultivated a culture of abuse and conservatorship for her that taught her that she's not allowed to stand up for herself or voice her opinions and fostered her naive idealistic innocence that led to her believing she had found true lifelong love at the age of 19 by dating a prolific boy band star. Why not post a thread about that instead

How the actual gently caress is that your takeaway from this thread? Don't put that starving-children-in-africa argument into my mouth you clown. You actually made a good point in your first post there about how her upbringing played big role in leading her into trouble but I guess the idea that celebrities are real people worthy of compassion is just downright offensive to you.

If you want to have a discussion about non-famous women's issues then there are already threads for that. Don't poo poo up this one because the subject of it is a person you formed your opinions about in 2007.

That's my takeaway because the thread is about the washed-up celebrity who did some mid-level bad stuff to her instead of the non-celebrities who ruined her life and set her up for those mid-level bad things, presumably because hating a celebrity is sexier than hating a scumbag nobody :shrug:

anybody in the child star hustle as a parent should not be allowed to have custody of their children, and Britney's a pretty good case example for why.

Fair enough, but I think the majority of people know the Spears clan (especially her father) are scumbags and the movement to get her conservatorship ended was successful so there isn’t really any new ground to break there. Justin, on the other hand, has skated by for decades with the full extent of his bullshit largely unknown until Britney’s book dropped which is why it’s relevant now.

you've no call to get snippy with me, sir, I'm only taking you at your word :colbert:

Lurker Ant posted:

So now that Britney’s memoir is out and everybody knows what a huge shithead JT is I feel vindicated in thinking he’s an untalented vocalist who only skated by on having much more talented producers to cover up his mediocre singing with slick beats. Lack of said producers on his last album really exposed his weaknesses and that’s why it tanked hard and basically killed his relevance. And now he’s been outed as a serial cheating rear end in a top hat who throws women under the bus to further his own career so lol.

All that needs to happen now is for Janet Jackson to make a comeback so she can slam the lid shut on his coffin
you said that this information coming out about him vindicated your existing feelings. nobody could be blamed for interpreting that as being your stake in this, that's the plain meaning of the words you started this thread with

if you meant something else you should have said something else.
because now it just looks like you're trying to reframe your position into something more defensible, possibly because it was embarrassing for you that it turned out nobody else was plugged into the weird celebrity gossip tabloid bullshit that you were taking as assumed knowledge when you started this thread, which you titled "justin timberlake sucks", which, I'm not saying that's the case, but I think we both can agree that would be really unconvincing and pathetic if that were the case
