Despacito was nice too
not that it isn't his fault too
I didn't like his added verse in Despacito
haha yeah thats fair, hard to credit him with the value of that song
@fallot not the medias fault if he makes an absolute fool of himself. His ridiculous antics make for great popcorn stories
I feel bad for him
no, it is entirely the media, your perception of people like him is entirely controlled and moulded
it must suck to be so commodified from such a young age
they predictably go into various phases
it would suck for me anyway
Bieber is due a rehabilitation
look at Miley Cyrus for an example
He did a good job of mocking himself in Zoolander 2
He'll eventually be shepherded into a movie-crossover role I bet
He has will smith potential lol
never seen him act
whatever happened to existential shepherd
dunno
I miss his aphoristic gibberish
@fallot no. He is in fact an effeminate wigger degenerate who makes effeminate pop music. He's music a industry propaganda pawn. That's a fact.
what you said and what I said aren't in conflict
Nobody is disputing that he's a pawn
@fallot just saying
but don't let your perceptions be controlled so easily
I don't
you wouldn't know it, I wouldn't know it
your perceptions about many things are 100% due to mass media
the mass media is not benign, and it is not directionless/purposeless
it isn't neutral
e.g. the aforementioned Will Smith is a homosexual
if I tell that to people, they are liable to argue with me about it with strong feeling
I'm judging his character from how we can know it and it's not good. We know what he does in his personal life. He's into smoking weed with niggers and hanging around tattoo parlors. He's not a good person.
mass media lets you feel you think you know
to play devil's advocate
he has been in this world since he was a child
could you say you would have been different
Generally, but I don't really watch it and I don't let it form my opinions
Narthissium do you think those things you have cited can be separated from the cultural markers you are imputing to them?
"bad boy Bieber" is a mass media enforced meme
just like "bad girl Miley"
Do you think smoking weed / having tattoos is inherently bad, or do you think it is bad as a function of the culture it comes with?
