In a select few instances, being an asshole is completely acceptable. When it comes to Chris Brown, I feel the overwhelming need to defend him. I'm not sure why. I didn't even become a fan of his until I was walking home from Target one day and Ain't No Way came on my iPod. I fell in love with the bridge. Then he got himself into a wee bit of trouble. I guess what really bothers me about the entire situation is that people are so quick to bring it up, over three years after the fact, but there are other pressing issues in the world that go by the wayside. I don't condone what he did, but shit happens.
There are only two reasons you are not a fan of Chris Brown. The first is one night you played it for a girl and she didn't give you the panties. The other is you are a fan of Trey Songz and you realized his career is over now that Chris Brown has been "forgiven" for his past transgressions. For some unknown reason, people cannot move forward from his domestic violence dispute. People gave Breezy so much shit for throwing a chair out of the window at Good Morning America, and while it was extreme it was totally warranted. Chris was there to talk about his album FAME and Robin Roberts was bringing it up, after he specifically said he was there for the music. Which was bold of her, because if he wasn't under control, he might have laid her ass out too. I think people would prefer he threw the chair than Robin Roberts. People just took the whole thing way too seriously. Take it as a teachable moment and move on.
If you aren't a fan of Chris Brown because he put his paws on Rihanna, and not in the sexy way, let it go. Unless you are Rihanna, then you still have time in your emotionally scarred window. Using that logic, here's a short list of the many celebrities you cannot be a fan of, because they hit women:

I'm just saying you need to be consistent if you're going to have an opinion.
