(no subject)

I survived the shopping trip, came home and found I'd been asked by [livejournal.com profile] _bettina_ to rant about people that don't like Chris, and you know I can do that in a very concise way.

People who don't like Chris are FRELLING INSANE!

However, I shall elaborate.

See I can't understand how anyone couldn't like him. The man is gorgeous, he's sex on legs, totally hot, breath takenly beautiful and if you can't see that you're obviously not looking hard enough. It's not hard, take a moment and look at him, look at his eyes. Tell me they're not beautiful. Tell me! You can't can you, and you know why? Because they are beautiful! In fact everything about him is beautiful, his face, his hair, his pointy ears, his lips, his goatee and man, don't get me started on people that don't like the horns or his old hair cuts because you know what? Who cares if they're different to the norm? What the fuck is normal anyway?

Which is another thing, and man this is the one thing guaranteed to set me off. He's put on weight. SO FUCKING WHAT! How dare people think that's a reason to dislike him? How dare they?! I'm spluttering with rage just thinking that anyone would chose to dislike him because of that. He's not perfect, no one is perfect. If you're an Nsync fan how can you sit and say that you don't like one of the members because he's fat? For one thing HE'S NOT FAT! For fuck's sake, he's heavier now than he was back then but all that does is make him real. He's not an artificial perfect popstar groomed to an inch of his life and made to tow the bullshit pr line. When I have the misfortune to wander somewhere where some idiotic wanker says they doesn't like Chris because he's fat I want to reach through the screen grab their stupid looking teenie head and beat it off the wall. Then do it again just for the sake of it.

Then there's the people who don't like him because he's childish and goes too far sometimes. For fucks sake. Do you really think that's all he is? The 'crazy one' the joker, a one dimensional cardboard cutout. Are you that stupid that you'll judge on an image shaped by pr spin? Look past the surface for once, see the man who cares deeply, the man who doesn't spend every moment of his life laughing and playing jokes. The man who works bloody hard to do something he loves. Go on look, except I know you won't. You'll just keep believing what you're told. Reading the same lies over and over again because you're too lazy to look past the image and stupid enough to believe what you're told. Admit it, you believe the Creation Myth don't you? You can probably even do the hand movements and diagram to accompany it. Loser.

More generally, people who don't like him because he's in a boyband. Get over yourselves. Chris can sing, he can sing beautifully and if all you haters can't see beyond the boyband label I pity you. I pity you because you're so afraid of being seen as uncool that you'll never know how talented he is.You can sit there listening to your indie music or whatever crap the so called cool kids listen to these days and mock him for being in a boyband but all you're doing is showing what a sad pathetic person you are. Someone who wouldn't know an independent thought even if it hit you in the head and yelled, 'hi, I'm an independent thought.

I could go on and on, but I'll sum up with this. If you don't like Chris you're clearly insane, and he's NOT FUCKING FAT!!!!!!!

PS, non ranty. Mouse, I have the stories and will upload when I've had my shower :)

I'd do the same for AJ myself, except that I don't have the energy to rant. *g*

Oh my dog, you have NO idea how much I love you right now.

Now *that's* a rant. I am seriously impressed. It makes me feeble attempts to rant seem...feeble.

And I agree with every word.

Here here!! (or is it hear hear??) Well put. And oddly enough? It's all of that (the unique ... hair, clothes, etc) that makes him that much more appealing. His eyes are amazing. *sighs and cues sappy Debbie Gibson songs* I think it's because he dared to do the unique that caught my attention (it usually does). Then there's the voice, the face, the hands, the. . .

Yeah. Well put.

Wow, that was incredible! And I totally agree with you :)

you are most brilliant.

Wonderful rant! I *heart* you! :-D

And he's really not fat! He put on weight, yes, but most people put on weight when they get older. Not that he's old, but you know what I mean.

I *heart* Chris! And of course I *heart* Lance as well ;-).

Wow, that's one hell of a good rant, sis, you rock! You rock even more that you're actually the first one who really wrote something ranty. I've seen this meme being played by several people and it was sorta disappointed because the responses really three lines long and there was no passion - a rant needs to be passionate! Or else it's not a rant *pout* And your response? Is the best *eg*

And yay, our archive will come back to life! *bounce*

WORD, Sister.

Seriously--I agree with everything you said. And most especially about the people who are dissing him for his weight. Grrrrrrrrrr. Makes me want to hurt people a really lot.

A *really* lot.

[identity profile] jaciesplace.livejournal.com 2005-01-29 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Bravo!

*applauds*

I agree with everything you said, except for one (becauseidontlikefacialhairandithinkhesgorgeouswithoutit). But yeah, it pisses me off when anyone says they don't like any other person because of their weight, or height, or ethnic background or whatever. People are people. I thought he was adorable in the pictures from fall 2003. He's gorgeous no matter what he weighs. He's. Just. Gorgeous! He is totally sex on legs!

*humps Chris' leg*

And OMG how sweet and caring is this guy! I loved the story someone posted a month or so back that Chris was in a toy store buying toys to donate to kids. Not that he sent money, not that he sent some hired assistant to go buy things, Chris himself was in a store picking stuff out to give to charity for kids. I love him for those things he does.

*humps Chris' other leg*

Wordy McWORD!

Chris has always been and always will be number one. So. Much. LOVE.

I bow down to you for this rant. I'm so sick of hearing people tell me Chris is fat or ugly. The man is absolutely beautiful and anyone who thinks he's nothing more then a joker has obviously never looked into his eyes and seen the depth there.

[identity profile] dazzlingstar.livejournal.com 2005-01-29 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He is not fat! He is beeeeyewTfull! (beatiful.) *g* I think both Chris and JC are tied for me. There's just so many things about Chris that just... ugh, I don't see how people say he's ugly or the one dimensional jokester. Chrissssss... *goes off to swoon*

[identity profile] firequill.livejournal.com 2005-01-29 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
So like - I kinda like the bigger (and the only reason I say bigger is - cause I don't think he's fat but dude he's not the stick he once was - thank gods) Chris better. And also, yeah, what you said. :)

As much as I can agree with you, and use the same logic on anybody who doesn't like AJ, Justin, JC or any of the sparklikes, I should probably never get you mad EVER. Period.

meep!

Wonderful rant! Made me laugh out loud and get all sappy thinking of our lovely Chris.

CHRIS!!!!!!! *hugs you for the Chris Rant*

LOVE THAT MAN.

HURRAH!

[identity profile] crownzeal.livejournal.com 2005-01-30 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
I respect anyone that has a lot of passion for any of the guys. Don't smack me, but I have teased Chris before about his fluctuating weight before. They've always been in jest, so, I never really ever thought that they were ever done in a mean-spirited way.

That's the thing though about celebrity. If you're in the public eye, there will always be people out there that will ridicule you for anything, and everything.

But these are all the things that make me like the guy so much more. He's not perfect and thank God! My love grew for him after his TX stint. I absolutely love his voice. He's so talented in many ways and you can just tell the guy has a good heart.

And let's not forget, I really, really, love Chris in some of my slash. Really.

Chris was my first *NSYNC love. :)
I hold him very near and dear to my heart. :)

[identity profile] ithilmenel.livejournal.com 2005-01-30 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, I really couldn't agree with you more. I've always adored Chris, he's beautiful, charming, funny, incredibly talented and about a billion other things.

I can kinda relate this to another one of my favorite groups, namely Linkin Park. Joe Hahn (the DJ) has put on weight and people are saying they don't like him because of that. Why? I mean so what if Chris or Joe put on weight? They're still the same wonderful people they've always been.

Anyway, that rant was great and I wholeheartedly agree with you on everything. *nods*

Terri-luv:

Wow, am I impressed!

Go you, that was a fantastic rant, and not just ranty but actually point-making.

And you are so right in your points; I couldn't agree more. That sort of shallowness is just *wrong*, and I know I can be shallow myself (mmmmmmmm, pretty!) but TRY not to be shallow like the haters, and hate myself when I catch my views leaning that way...

..Anyway, Thank You, Terri, and thank you even more for introducing me to the Chris love in the first place, which drew me into the fandom, and MAN, where the heck would I be without fandom? Someplace a lot less wonderful with a lot fewer wonderful friends, definitely!
