Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino calls out Chris Brown for perpetuating rape culture

  • Dork News Desk
  • April 18, 2016
All praise Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, who’s not afraid to call out ridiculous, dangerous dickheads. Especially when that ridiculous, dangerous dickhead is Chris ‘Ridiculous Dangerous Dickhead’ Brown.



Taking issue with single ‘Back to Sleep’, Bethany points out the song “perpetuates rape culture”. And, y’know, try arguing with her, because you’d be on an especially sticky wicket when you look at the Really Bloody Obvious Evidence.



Writing on Twitter, she said:


“just let me rock, fuck you back to sleep girl, don’t say a word no, girl don’t you talk” are lyrics to the chorus of a VERY popular song

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






You already know how I feel about Chris Brown – but WHY/HOW are those lyrics ok? Cool, a song that perpetuates rape culture being a hit.

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






???????????????????????????????????????????????? x infinity at that trash/anyone who thinks its OK to sing about fucking a girl back to sleep + telling her to not say a word

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






This isn’t just about that idiot tho- the fact that’s a song in popular culture that some A&R person was like “this is great” saddens me

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






.@billboard‘s review of that song “excels as a quality addition to his catalog’s stellar collection of panty-dropping and baby-making songs”

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






How about this for a review: singing about fucking a girl back to sleep/telling her dont say a word is singing about rape + it’s disgusting

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






Last thing then I’m out- it’s an issue even if someone else was singing those lyrics. Rape culture is everywhere + it’s a BIG problem.

— Best Coast (@BestCoast) April 17, 2016






https://t.co/4xFVUxkN1z SHOW ME WHERE HE ONCE ASKS THE WOMAN IF ITS OK TO WAKE HER UP WITH SEX? NO, HES TELLING HER HE’S GOING TO DO IT.
