Men who brutally torture women do not deserve respect.

That’s OK, it’s like those Christian idiots who “protest” Starbucks by going in, paying for a latte, and having the cashier write “Merry Christmas” on it. You think Starbucks is hurting over that? Their laughing all the way to the bank.

You’re making excuses at every turn for him because of his violent upbringing. You’ve said it in practically all of your posts. If that’s not what you intend to say, you should clarify, because that’s exactly how it comes across.

PS. You said “The world would be better if there were no rapists or murderers.”

Talent =/= a good person. Does talent mean that you’ll let Roman Polanski hang out with a teen relative? Does talent mean that you’ll let Woody Allen babysit your kids? C’mon, if you’re gonna be OK with XXXtenacion because of his talent, put your money where your mouth is, and come on out defending these two talents!

Ugh, I’m having this exact argument right now on another thread in The Grapevine. I finally just posted the link to this article.

On the flip side, you are saying that if you have a hard life, it excuses you trying to kill a woman. Is that what you really want to be saying here?

You should also try reading this take from The Root, called “Stop Pretending You Actually Gave a Shit About XXXtentacion”. It’s actually pretty timely to this discussion.

He didn’t want her to go and seek medical treatment after one incident of beating her because he knew the cops would be called on him. He knew he was doing wrong, and he wasn’t repentant. He gets no sympathy from me, and from a lot of people from the looks of it.

Yes, I expected someone at 19 to know that trying to kill someone they supposedly loved was wrong. Silly me! How unrealistic!

If he ever expressed remorse for almost killing this lady, you may have a point. But he does the exact opposite in trying to sabotage her attempts to pay for the medical recovery she needs from injuries he caused. In no way was this asshat trying to redeem himself. Save your sorrow for people more deserving.

Did he “seem to be trying to improve as a human being” when he tried to get his victim’s GoFundMe page removed? You know, the one where she was raising funds to pay for medical treatments based on the injuries HE GAVE HER?

It was more than just “being a retard”. He almost killed this woman multiple times, and only stopped because their roommates pulled him off of her. Does someone have to die before it’s OK for us to want him dead? My therapist says that when someone shows you who they are, believe them. This guy showed he was capable…

Bye, bitch.

Coercing people into sex is illegal in many states, so there’s no wiggle room on that. And I’m sorry, but if you are performing a sex act on someone and they are crying, and you then continue without regard for them, you are abusing them. That’s not being in a shitty relationship, that’s you being a shitty PERSON.

I hear you ladies. When my ex was exposed as a pedophile against a male relative of ours and I supported the victim, my 2 middle kids rejected me to live with him alone. I only got to see them 1 night per week for 3 hours when they were teens. They had conveniently forgotten how he had abused me too while they were…

You’d think he’d be able to afford PR people with better posting and vocabulary skills, though.

Being coerced into sex acts is being forced. There’s a reason it’s a crime.

If the jobs of the crew were that important to anyone at AMC, then they should have had better vetting to not give Hardwick the job. Or, if Hardwick cared about the impact his actions could potentially have on the crew of the shows he’d work on, he could have not abused his partner.

Oh, sweetie, it absolutely IS grounds for abuse.
