4chan is my hero

[Mr_Adams]

If you haven't heard, 4chan users started a rumor that Justin Beiber was diagnosed with cancer, and started a campaign called "Bald for Beiber".
Stupid fan girls are shaving their heads to "Support Justin, OHMAGAWD"

Emotionally vulnerable young girls with a crush get conned. Excuse me if i find this less than a triumph for the internet age.

Did you use a razor Symm or just a QuickClips job?

I have no preference while making myself a woman suit.

seriously. i'm not a fan of bieber but i don't get why supposedly "tolerant" people hate him and everything he stands for with such a passion.

Me either. That being said, the rumor is that he's quite the self-satisfied little jerk. So that could be part of it.

Yes, it's a fairly bad thing to do. I still can't help but find it amusing, like feeding seagulls at a crowded beach with laxatives.

I've never had anything against him, but his fans are quite annoying. Though not enough to really deserve this

that's how it always is. the vast majority of a famous public figure's fans exemplify the figure's worst traits and lack the figure's good traits. the vast majority of them are stupider too. that is why they are fans.

Sure, but this wasn't targeted at him, but at the young girls who have a crush on him. That's the key difference. Bieber wasn't the target, it was a bunch of kids who had adolescent crushes. That's why it's nasty and manipulative.

It's interesting because the actions of some of his fans reflect a very high price which they pay to express their value of Bieber. Part of that value could be attributed to feelings of showing cancer-solidarity, but I imagine it has more to do with trying to identify with Beiber in a more meaningful way.


Also, this event serves as an opportunity for those diehard fans to learn to question what they read and hear.

The kind of adolescent fandom among young girls experiencing their first crush ain't new. Beatlemania, Take That (in the UK), or any number of other crushes- it's part of growing up.

Exploiting teenage crushes for "lulz" seems crappy and cruel, especially if you're a 20 year old man like Mr Adams.

There are unintended good consequences. I guess you're a glass half-empty kinda guy.
