Could Unscripted Britney Get Cancelled

[HIM]

Britney is more of a You mess with her she’ll mess with you. Don’t cross her because you’ll regret it. Other than that, she’s really sweet so I don’t see a problem 

[mannequinn]

britney didn’t say anything outrageous back when it was more normal to say homophobic & racist stuff, what makes u think she’d say that now  the only thing i could think of that was offensive was her supporting the war on iraq which was rly ******* stupid of her to do but yea 

[applehead]

This topic has crossed my mind and I don't think it's ignorant to think it. I in no way believe Britney would ever intentionally say anything hurtful to anyone on purpose. However she has been sheltered and lived in somewhat of a bubble these past 13 years, and I dont think there is any denying that. There were some comments she made in 07 like the "have u ever tried weight watchers, u fat ****?" Or the gay is really in right now comment to the pap. She personally has never said anything that has remotely offended me. But we unfortunately live in a "cancel culture" world where people look for anything to try and ruin people. I hate it and it needs to stop. I like to think Britney has matured and it may take some time for her to find her place in today's world again but I believe in her and know she will be just fine.

The only thing they tried to cancel her was the iconic rolling stone cover in 1999, the conservatives was up in arm, Peta and the snake, I mean they tried it these big organizations and it backfired horribly it actually made her bigger. 

 

Which at that time any scandal helped sell records, sell out concerts get you noticed,  Madonna has been defund the police since 1990, when they tried to arrest her for simulating mastaurbation on stage in Toronto, she isn't cancelled, but like Billboard says certain stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna are too big in pop culture to actually cancel, to cancel them would be removing their impact on pop culture, which is why it's hard extremely hard to do, but easier for minor a list stars, who'll never be seen as icons or legends 20 to 30 years from now.

Don Phillips insinuated Britney was "homophobic" when she was what? Sixteen or Seventeen? They worked together on one song, and it'd clear he had severe self esteem issues that he was potentially combating with addiction, and Britneys response says it all. He's not exactly a reliable source.

Before the conservatorship was brought in, Britney went and partied at gay bars all over LA. Before that, Britney had very close relationships with her dancers, most of whom were openly LGBTQ+, and that was at a time when no one was publically speaking about equality. As much as the Britney Brand fought for a "clean all American" appearance at a time when republicans were very loud about that politically, Britney has never really been that. 

Even in an endless sea of white pop stars, I've seen enough POC pop lovers supporter Britney because she has kinda been the pop outcast and the pop leader.

Do I believe Britney is going to become a huge political activist? Not necessarily, I could see her publically supporting movements and will voice her voice against conservatorship abuse....

 

...but cancelled? I don't think so.

 

 

It’s kinda unfair all the pressure she was under to practically be the face of America.

she represented everything right and wrong with America to a lot of people 

she didn’t deserve to be put on such a pedestal she just wanted to sing

I blame her mother and the record label for that initial package..

 

The only one it felt authentic was Jessica Simpson.  Reading her interviews you actually believed it to be true.

this.

From the paparazzi clips I've seen, I am amazed at how much patience and tolerance Britney has. I don't see her going on social media and talk **** about anything. JT talks **** bout her all the time, she barely says anything back..She only retaliates if you push her too much. A paparazzi example would be "run run u fat ****" or "gay videos are in" lol. Given how much stress she was under and those are probably the worst things she ever said but they're actually not that offensive?

Britney is very sweet and i get the feel that she's very empathetic. She has always been unproblematic and that's not gonna change.

Considering how pu***fied the world has gone, I’m sure someone somewhere will find something to cancel her over, knowing some people they’ll prolly even try to dig something up from when she was 10.

Reckoning with the past does not mean the world is pu***fied. 

[Spicechinodiva]

I couldn't see her as a racist, even though the rest of her southern red neck inbred family is, I don't think Britney is..

 

she stood up for her bodyguard when he was being attacked with racist slurs, she  might be a spears by blood, but in today's times blood don't define family, you can always replace people and make that your own family out of intimate friends..

blood is family tradition is one that's outdated big time..

you can't get cancelled if your heart is pure

During a debate in Psychology class at 17 years old I said I don’t get Trans people, I don’t understand how you don’t just deal with the hand life gives you. Some people are disabled, some are gay and some are trans, doesn’t mean you have to have surgery and ‘trick’ cis males into s**.

 

I’m now in my mid 20’s and have grown a LOT and could not be further from this person. The truth is a lot of our influence comes from the people in our family (Most people over 40/50 aren’t particularly pro trans in my experience). 
 

As soon as I hit 17/18 and started watching Drag Race and getting more involved with the LGBTQ+ society as a bi***ual man, everything started to make sense.

The truth is, there is no point in cancelling someone for stuff that happened 10 or even 5 years ago, because just living with the memories is embarrassing and punishment enough lmao. People grow, we learn, and we change our perspectives. It’s part of life 

If Britney thought it was unnatural in 1998, that’s probably because she grew up in church and the same house as Jamie. I’m 99.9% sure she has known for at least 15 years that it’s all bull**** and is now an ally.

Right-wingers act like political correctness and cancel culture are something new and inherently left-wing whereas if Britney suffered from public scrutiny and outrage it was entirely from a conservative point of view. All the creepy virgin questions, sl**-shaming and ***ism she was subjected to. I don't think it can get worse than that.

People trying to cancel Britney from the start of her career(media/celebrities/gp)..

she always was a punchbag for everything she did or not..

But she was able to grow up and get wise.. she is one of the strongest human beings and I don’t think entthrontet would hurt her from gp-s side anymore cause she knows how to deal with them from childhood..

she was never a homophobic or racist - it’s fact. She maybe used some expressions that might seem wrong out from context but she had a lot of gay friends from bomt era and loved black people even dated some.. she was always defending them but never shaped her image as a defender cause she isn’t as populist as some other(and never fought for being famous so desperately as others who are “feminists” or “fight” for gay rights). She always wanted normal life not a famous life but she always was an artist and she loved her job but dreamed about husband and kids.. I think she never had a normal childhood and that’s the case why she wanted it so badly

Um, Hi Jamie Lynn I guess?

1. Britney was cancelled. Nobody has ever been cancelled harder than Britney. Over nothing as well. Over total nonsens. 
2. She hasn’t been “protected” from hate and ridicule by the conservatorship, on the contrary she has been kept away from anyone who supports and loves her. People, the media etc have been so rude and horrible all this time, these 13 years too. 
3. She isn’t a homophobe or a racist like her dad, mom, ex-business manager, sister, brother etc. She might have said that JT was “pu***fied” on a really old tape, but as a feminist I don’t really see the problem with that in the context and in the context of her persona, other things she has said etc.

Racist? She been dating black man since 2003  and always been very close and well liked in the black community.

not that I think she is racist, but this is giving off hefty "I'm not racist I have friends who are black!" vibes

I would cut her some slack for this, she was in her early 20s with probably little to no knowledge on the subject being put on the spot by a major network in front millions. It was a stupid question to ask and it wasn't because they genuinely cared what her opinion was, they just wanted to create more controversy

Exactly. They have cancel culture in their backbone and they are very radical as well. Talked about shooting her for God’s (😛) sake. Their hate-signs towards gay people, their racism. 
 

But I would actually like to disagree. What you say is half-true because conservatives did sl**-shame and also strip her of her civil rights. (Her family are conservative). But as someone whose parents are socialists and whose entire circle of friends in my youth between 1996-2009 was left leaning, I know that Britney was cancelled on the left too. Radical girls who “hated” her for pleasing the patriarchy or being a “bimbo” and what not. Didn’t both Pink and Avril Lavigne (and Christina Aguilera) release songs and make statements that shamed Britney? And they tried to have some sort of “alternative” although mainstream image and music. Radical boys did the same. They were so keen on saying that they liked girls who were “not like Britney”. And she was sl**-shamed on the left as well as it was sort of ugly for a young woman to “sell her music with s**”. It was more intellectual to have more of an indie look. (🙄🙄🙄). Guys who thought they were smart liked girls like Zooey Deschanel.

Kathy Griffin who has trashed Britney numerous of times is very much not a conservative.

Sarah Silverman who sl**-shamed and mom-shamed Britney supported Bernie Sanders in his campaigns.

Justin Timberlake is a democrat.

And so on. Misogyny is bipartisan.

Why is she giving you those vibes? Because she has had black friends?! You can’t have “having black friends” as an example of racism. First of all, racism is all around so if we talk about it that way it is a matter of percentage in every person, not a “is or isn’t”-issue. But you have to give an example of why Britney would be more racist than any other white person other than her having had black friends. 
I thought Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera were racist when they went nuts on CA, or when Justin walked straight up to the POC photographer and smacked his camera out of his hands outside some kind of official reception he was attending. There were other photographers there, he went straight for the non-white person and assaulted them. But what did Britney do?!

what even is this response, clearly didn't read the comment properly

[mfanbs]

I don't think she is a homophobic or racist or anything like that. I think she is just caught off-guard by some people's overall appearance and general aura and behavior (upfront attitude).

I truly think that she doesn't see people that way, she feels the energy and sees if the person is "good or bad"
