“It was a way of saying to the world, ‘Fuck you! You want me to be pretty for you? Fuck you. You want me to be good for you? Fuck you. You want me to be your dream girl? Fuck you.’” – Britney Spears

@ryanhoulihan That was so brave and punk rock of her, too. She took control of being objectified and exploited in one of the few areas in which she had direct control.
And the media still treated it all as spectacle and invited the rest of us to point and laugh.
Absolutely infuriating. -

@jasper @ryanhoulihan Oh definitely, though I think that was the product of her fame and resulting wealth, still, no?
How she has been treated is absolutely despicable.

@ryanhoulihan Every few years, they sacrifice another kid to the masses. She was a child when she began her "career" as a hyper-sexualized pop culture icon. That shit would fuck anyone up.

@PacificNic @ryanhoulihan Britney Spears was under conservatorship for 13 years, which was used to exploit her.
She had a UID against her wil, violating her human rights.

Celebrity is a powerful drug.
Unfortunately, when you live in the world's richest fishbowl where every bit of your life is exposed for all to see with no privacy or private life allowed, that drug can turn quite damaging.
