Poll of the Day > So what's the deal with Brittney Spears?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why do so many people stan her again? I heard about her abusive family and conservatorship and whatever, but she still seems kind of unhinged herself. And the amount of support she receives kind of weirds me out. It's like the "Leave Brittney Alone" meme but unironically.

I don't know, something about it just doesn't sit right with me. But I could be missing something.

One of her songs is going to be considered an ancestral ballad by the time the sun snuffs out the planet. Thats why

It's just because people don't like when others are being abused. I never particularly liked her, but once I heard about her story I was behind her. I was happy when she was free. I hope she does well. Imagine being a grown adult being actively pimped out by a record label and forced to live like some slave where your Dad pisses much of your money away while you're powerless to stop it. Not only that, you have to live like you're in some 1984 fever dream where you have to come and go on a schedule and let "experts" keep telling you how sick you are at the behest of the same father abusing you. Oh and if you try and do anything about it, Daddy just hires more lawyers on your dime to put you back in your place.

Yeah, fuck that.

"Why do people have sympathy for someone who has been fucked over by everyone she knows her entire life?"

She's basically a girl whose destiny was to be a white trash stripper living in a trailer park, eventually getting knocked up by her drunken mechanic husband... who lucked into a golden ticket to fame that left her completely incapable of dealing with the pressure, while literally everyone around her went out of their way to exploit, manipulate, or take advantage of her.

You can say she doesn't really deserve the sympathy, but honestly, a lot of her life has been pretty shitty for reasons that are entirely beyond her control, or at least aren't directly her fault (other than being too naive and trusting people she shouldn't have). So it's easy to see her as the victim and her life as generally being tragic.

Especially when the people claiming to be taking care of her are themselves taking abusive advantage of their conservatorship. "Yeah, she makes poor life choices and doesn't take good care of herself, which is why she needs me to make all the decisions for her" sort of becomes a weaker argument when it's coming from someone who is clearly a piece of shit.

That's why.

... And? What's your point?

I like her music. As far as 'unhinged' goes, she just seems to really like dancing, acting silly and wearing different clothes \_()_/

Like so many former child stars, she's confused sadly.

Isn't she around like 40 years old? Why do people talk about this woman like she's practically a baby?

She's probably older than most of you.
