"He sounds like a girl when he sings." This is the oldest, most sexist argument in the Anti-Justin Bieber book. Saying that he sounds, looks or acts like a girl as if it's an insult is degrading to women. Ladies, you need to put a stop to this. Just by calling Justin Bieber a girl, you're giving men excuses to think they're better than you! Stop using the idea of a woman or a girl as if it's a bad thing! If you're reading this and you're a girl, I'm pretty sure you sound like a girl when you sing. Right?
"Well he still sounds really bad." Still doesn't give you an excuse to insult women; or men who like to sing like women. Don't categorize so much! Plenty of men, young and old, like to sing like women or girls, and can pull it off. When you automatically assume every man that sounds like a girl is bad, you're just impacting a whole group of people.
"But he looks wimpy. He must be gay." We are in the year 2012. As of now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. If the fact that you're insinuating that to be gay is a bad thing means you're homophobic, then keep it to yourself. It's fine if homosexuality makes you uncomfortable, but if you repress or insult other people based off of your silly fear, that is where the human race has drawn the line. We've advanced as a species, it's time to stop making excuses for yourself and move on. Of course, if you aren't homophobic and you were just using "gay" as a slang term, and didn't mean it in the sense that it was originally intended, you still can not use "gay" as an insult because it makes it look like it's okay for others to use it as an insult, and hate just escalates from there. Don't spread homophobia.
"I still think he looks weird. He's ugly." Says you. There are literally hundreds of girls and boys who would beg to differ. Don't compare everyone to your standards. Just because you don't appreciate his appearence doesn't mean others can't. There may be people out there who don't think you're very good-looking, but they're not going to hate you because of that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, remember?
"He's too over-exposed! He's everywhere and it's annoying! That's a good reason to hate the people who overexpose him, isn't it? Don't stem every problem to one person, find the source of it instead. Celebrity status is not simple. It's extremely complicated. He is not in control of all of his actions, in fact he's probably not in control of many of them. I should add that people like you, who go around spamming the internet about how much you hate Justin Bieber, are in fact contributing to his celebrity status. Way to fuck up.
No, I know why he's so famous! It's those fangirls! Everyone who listens to him is so stupid!" Enjoying music or a person is not stupid. Hating someone for what they enjoy is stupid. Don't be stupid.
Well I still don't like his music! You can't argue against my personal taste! I certainly can not argue my way into making you enjoy his music. Everyone has their own preference. But I can argue you into knowing how to be tolerant of human beings. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Personally, I don't like his music either, and I think that he's terrible live. But I don't hate him for that. And you shouldn't either. Don't hate.
Gawd, if you love him so much, why don't you just go marry him?" Well, for one thing I'm not planning on marrying a man, I'm planning on marrying a beautiful red-headed girl with a sweet name like Lily or Annabelle, as soon as gay marriage is legalized in Michigan. And for another, I actually don't love him. In fact, I rather dislike him. I would never hate him of course, because I beleive that hate solves nothing. But I have never loved or liked him.
Why? Well, I dislike him because he's pro-life. There is absolutely no arguing with me on that point, because I'm an atheist (I don't beleive in gods, dieties, or any form of spirit or soul), and I'm a woman. I'm also not an idiot. But despite my hostility towards his personal beleifs, the main reason I don't like Justin Bieber is that he had the disrespect to even say that he is pro-life. He is not a woman, never has been, and hopefully never will be, so he has absolutely no say in abortion whatsoever, until he gets a uterus and injects semen into it and succesfully becomes pregnant. And even then, he should still not have a say in what other women do with their body. Oh, and it doesn't help that I really don't like his fashion sense. Pardon me, but his clothes just scream "I AM THE PRINCE OF THE DOUCHE BAGS"...
If you don't like him, why are you defending him? To stop the hate. If you need to re-read go ahead, because no further explanation on those points above are necessary. Hate needs to be stopped. The spreading of intollerant ideals need to be stopped. Human beings are impressionable, and we are, maybe not entirely of our own will, brainwashing ourselves into being sexist, homophobic, ignorant and hateful creatures. This can be stopped all by doing simple things like not using certain words or saying certain things.
My final peice of advice? Ladies in particular; Do your research! Don't hate Justin Bieber for stupid reasons, but make sure you know your reasons not to support him either!

EDITS --
1) There is a difference between homophobia & homosexual hatred; thank you to JHCross for pointing that out!
2) I am not completely innocent on this matter. As most of you reading this probably do as well, I have a dark history of spreading not only Justin Bieber hate, but sexism too. But I am living proof that people can grow up and come to the realization that words have a larger impact than we think. I am proud of my history only because I know that we as humans can change. (:
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you, I don't like his music, but I don't hate him because of that. Other people have every right to love his music, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just loving or hating him for the wrong reasons that are stupid.
Though I'm a little uncomfortable with the pro-life part, I believe man can give their opinion on it. Because well, they fertilized the egg, so without them there couldn't be babies in this world. They are a part of it.
I'm not exactly for abortion, and I'm not exactly against it, but to me it's still killing a miracle, but if it's absolutely necessary, eh. I'm very disgusted by how abortion was first introduced in America (I'm not sure if it was introduced internationally by that racist pig), so there's a huge reason as to why I'm part pro-life.
But your advice was very well written and helpful that I hope my members come to their senses.
Thank you.
Ah, yes, I figured the abortion thing would spark some issues. The thing is, if I may rebuttle for a moment, men aren't the ones giving birth. Besides, not ALL men are the ones to fertalize the egg, are they? The discussion of a man and a woman about abortion of THEIR child is a discussion that should be privately done between the two of THEM. No one else should be able to decide it for them. That is the only case where a man is allowed to help decide, but he should not have a complete say so.
Men should especially have no say in an abortion when the woman was raped, or if the woman is underage, and particularly when the woman could die in child birth, which, yes, IS predictable at the stage abortions are legally accepted.
By the way, at the stage abortions are legally accepted, it is not even a fetus that is inside a woman, but a fertalized egg. After the period of two weeks, abortions are no longer considered legal, and they do not take place, at least not in USA. So it is not "killing babies", it is instead un-fertalizing the egg in the woman before it can even turn into a fetus, let alone a baby.
I admire the fact that you beleive in miracles, but you have to remember not everyone does. I know for a fact that miracles don't exist, just like you know for a fact that miracles do. Not everyone in the world is religious, or of the same religion, so one religion should not have a say over the other, or the lack of one.
And finally, if abortion IS illegal, there will still be abortions in the world. It had been introduced to the world long before you think it was; abortions went on in the stone ages, when women were unhealthy or struggling with pregnancy.
So as you can see, there is a clash of opinions and struggles that go on in the case of repressing women from their choice. If having a child may harm her body or mind in any way, she should be able to get an abortion without the government, controlled by religious, white men, telling her she can't. If you try to weed out which abortion is necesary and which isn't, you'll only be repressing certain groups of women and you'll harm women who really need it who just don't fit your judgement. That is not just an opinion, it is a right.
Hope that could clear some things up for you.
Then again, the women who are having abortions because they had sex out of marriage shouldn't have sex anyways.
And yes, there would be illegal abortions. But there would be uncertified doctors and back alley abortions.
I forgot that abortion has been around for a long time, but my mother told me of a woman who had something to do with abortion. She was white, and she wanted the blacks to not have stupid babies or something stupid like that. I'm not sure if that's American only, or if my mother doesn't know how long abortion has been around.
But when abortion is wrong, is when a "slut" or "whore" keeps having so much sex, that she ends up getting pregnant. That's wrong, and they're abusing themselves and sex.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these facts.
Thank you.
