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

I remember Justin’s landmark performance in the film In Time, where he played a character with dialog who did stuff

It's a movie about a bunch of privileged beverly hills white kids thinking they're big-time gangsters with street cred because one of them sells weed which is at least metaphorically consistent with Justin Timberlake's career

His ambitions of being an even more whitebread Eminem are palpable and nauseating

Most of being a successful pop star is getting the most talented producers to make your beats and having a good PR team. At least as far as what seperates you from all the other hopefuls. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

True but if you’re not legitimately talented and charismatic then your relevance ends as soon as you stop getting hits, and JT is a perfect example of that. See also Katy Perry and DJ Khaled

remember that movie he made where his mom was three years younger than him?

That was the aforementioned In Time, and IIRC she was the same age as him because everyone stopped aging at 25 and they all had clocks on their wrists that showed how much time they had to live. Also time was literally currency so rich people could basically live forever while the poor died young. Super deep social commentary

My ex's dad made him print out pictures of her after the pussy shot ordeal.

That was really loving weird even for 2006.

At least she was grown by then, she’s talked about how interviewers would constantly ask questions about her breasts even when she was still underage. And of course there were countdowns to her turning 18 because yeah

well why not posted:

JT sucks rear end but Futuresex/Lovesounds is good, largely due to timbaland crushing it. Similar as to why the Lonely Island stuff is ok.

JT is bland, but he can be carried. Damning for a megastar tbqh

There are some songs on 20/20 that I’ll defend, that was the one album where he seemed to find a sound that fit his voice well. But even then he somehow got it in his head that making every track like 8 minutes long was a good idea

So in all this, I still don't know what Britney is accusing JT of.

Can I get a summary?

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.

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

you didn't make a thread about "seeing parallels between Britney’s ordeal and how women are treated by society in general", you made a thread about not liking justin timberlake

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

deep dish peat moss posted:

Oh that's right it's because celebrities are more important and worthy of discussion than non-celebrities whoops I forgot.

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:

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:

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

I started with taking a victory lap over JT getting cancelled because I didn’t like him to begin with, both because of his music and his behavior towards women (this part being implied by the bit at the end of the OP about Janet). The conversation evolved over the course of the thread and his mistreatment of Britney became the main subject, a rhetorical shift which had already occurred before you made the post I gave an admittedly very bitchy response to. The change in direction of my posting is not evidence of intellectual dishonesty as you claim, it’s just what happens when you have an asymmetrical conversation involving multiple people and a subject that warrants multiple avenues of discussion.

What did Justin do to Janet op? I thought they got those huge nipple piercings/hardware together to celebrate football?

He pulled her boob out at the Super Bowl (a move they had rehearsed using nipple shields but had decided to cut it to avoid the exact thing that happened) and then stood by while she got burned at the stake. AFAIK he’s never apologized to her or accepted responsibility, and her career never recovered from it while his did.

What started the current wave of negativity towards JT was zoomers finding out about this and wanting to know why the making GBS threads gently caress did the nation watch a woman be violated on TV and decide that it was her fault and not the guy who did the violating.
