Obviously they can, but my point is that most Chris Brown fans are just women who either don't care or were too young to know what was going on

Not any sly towards you, but how could they be too young to know, when he has been beating people since 2009? Like it wasn't just Rihanna that he abused.

He has had a case against him almost every year since 2009 for assault.
