The hate people have for Barbra Streisand is absolute bullshit

To give a bit of explanation as to what I’m talking about, I truly don’t understand the hate for Barbra Streisand. When it comes to South Park fans, she’s apparently the “worst person in the world”, and even non-haters seem to hate her guts.

It might be a bit personal but I honestly fucking HATE South Park. Never liked the series at all. And this is one of the reasons. It’s like the show’s creators were so fucking intimidated by a strong woman to the point where they have to make hate fantasies out of her.

Apparently, the reason they hate Streisand so much was because she “threatened to boycott Colorado” over a law that would refuse to protect children of the LGBT+ community. Are they one of those anti-gay asshats that go “look at how this horrible woman is behaving just because she serves the woke, I’m glad I’m not one of ‘em!”?

But for some reason, because she’s angry AND a woman, she apparently is “the worst person in the world”. Like sure, forget all the rapist directors such as Harvey Weinstein or any actors who did a bunch of shit worse than her such as Chevy Chase! Let’s just go rat on the ANGRY LIBERAL WOMAN!

“I never understood the fascination with her. She isn’t beautiful. She isn’t intelligent. She can’t sing. The only conclusion on the matter that I’ve been able to come up with is that the people who like her can’t think for themselves and so, instead, mindlessly do whatever society tells them they should do; in this case, liking the Evil Mega Streisand.”

Oh, and YOU’RE better? So you’re saying YOU’RE prettier, and smarter, AND a better singer? What are you, some kind of natural talent, huh? Go on. Show us, unless you’re just some dirty coward hiding behind the internet like every other hateful internet troll.

”can’t think for themselves, mindlessly do whatever society tells them they should do”, what a coincidence, these fuckers do the exact same shit, yet it’s fine when THEY do it. TOUCHÉ!

”I had a friend that gave me several crates of vinyl records. Among the records were about 20-odd Babs albums, so I hung them on the fence and shot them with my .45.”

Hardy harr harr, look at me! Look how epic I am for shooting a bunch of vinyl records over someone I hate and not giving a shit of how that one friend of mine wasted all their money! Aren’t I AwEsOmE?!

“No big story. She's just another arrogant and mean rich limousine liberal.”

Isn’t it ironic how when it’s a strong woman, she’s “arrogant” and “mean”, yet a male rapist, nope, nothing wrong with him, totally fine? Limousine liberal? Yeah sure, as if upper classed conservatives NEVER use the limousine either.

”She's dismissive, self-righteous, and condescending too, as shown in an unwatchable interview she did on Real Time with Bill Maher a couple of years ago where her natural "I'm just so much better than all off you" vibe was coming off of her in waves like a toxic choking cloud.”

Let me get this straight: confident, strong-willed woman = “dismissive, self-righteous, and condescending; meanwhile violent extremist misogynist = “misunderstood, a victim of EVIL FEMINAZISM”? Dude, there are a shit ton of dudes who have the “I’m so much better than all of you” worse than fucking Streisand (hint hint, Andrew Tate), and the worst you can come up with is when a woman is confident, she “thinks she’s better than everyone else”? If anything, I’d much rather choke on Streisand’s so-called “toxic choking cloud” than from someone like Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh!

”She's also openly contemptuous of the "commoners" the way most of the same sort of rich California celebrities almost always are.”

Since when? I don’t recall any moment Streisand herself called non-rich individuals “commoners”. “Commoners”, really? What even IS this word? You only sound like you just have a hatred of celebrities who have something you don’t. Are you pulling out random terms out of your ass just to make yourself sound smart?

”All in all Streisand is a perfect target to be mocked on South Park, the same way they did to Rob Reiner, to Fat Ass & Pancake Head, and to so many of these other stuck-up west coast pieces of shit who love themselves so much that they can get high off their own farts.”

Only difference is Barbra Streisand is the ONLY celebrity the creators of South Park genuinely hated, but are okay with everybody else, so what the fuck is your point? “stuck-up west coast pieces of shit who love themselves so much that they can get high off their own farts”, what a fucking coincidence, Trey Parker and Matt Stone fit the EXACT SAME TROPE they claim to hate! And lucky me, I found another person who fits this description: YOU! Don’t you just love hypocrisy?

“Keep in mind what Matt Stone said a very long time ago, and it applies as much (if not more) today than it did back in the 1990s - "I hate conservatives but I really fucking hate liberals". Matt & Trey just hate mean people altogether, and these liberal celebrity elite-types are pretty much the meanest and overall shittiest people you could ever find.”

lol liberals, amirite? Always getting angry over racism, sexism, transphobia, calling out bigots for their fucking bullshit. We’re so horrible, aren’t we? And you’re such innocent little victims who threw a fit because you can’t say the n word without being called out. We’re total ELITES, aren’t we? We’re just SOOOOO shitty because we won’t let you get away with shooting gay and trans children! Can you not see the fucking irony of these dipshits?!

This reply sums up my reaction:

”so they basically hate themselves. Got it”

Well said. Anyway, let’s move on to the “random shit I made up” category:

”I don’t have any firsthand stories or anything like that, and I certainly don’t think anything she’s done really registers when you see what a lot of famous men have done, but one thing that has always amused me is how she will make a talk show literally rearrange their set so that the “good side” of her face is shown. Just look on YouTube at any of her interviews, then compare it with interviews on those same shows with other celebrities—it becomes obvious REALLY quick. lol

Mariah Carey does the exact same! Ultimate diva move”

Isn’t that the fucking point of a talk show, or pretty much EVERYTHING? Why is it when a woman tries to make herself look sympathetic, she’s a diva, yet when a man does the same thing, he’s just being genuine?

”I knew someone who worked on a private jet. She told me that Streisand made a flight attendant cry because her husband’s salad did not have a tomato. I just don’t see how that kind of meanness is justified. I used to love her music but after hearing how she treats people, I’ve lost all respect.”

I highly doubt the woman who made the flight attendant cry was actually Barbra Streisand to begin with. It’s like the “I heard it from a friend of a friend” to justify this kind of hatred because apparently that random woman looked closely similar to her.

”Well, there's the Streisand effect (yes, it's named after Barbra), and Britannica sums it up perfectly:

Streisand effect, phenomenon in which an attempt to censor, hide, or otherwise draw attention away from something only serves to attract more attention to it. The name derives from American singer and actress Barbra Streisand’s lawsuit against a photographer in 2003, which drew attention to the photo she was suing to have taken off the Internet.

So, I definitely think she's probably one of those people who wants things to go her way or no way. And I also think she probably goes to great lengths to ensure that things do indeed go her way or no way.”

Why is calling out an invasion of privacy “wanting something your way”? Makes no fucking sense.

“The woman literally clones her dog. She has had the ‘same’ dog multiple times cloned somewhere internationally where that’s a thing. I always thought that was ethically a bit off, so this kind of tracks for me. I feel like she probably has a lot of unresolved ‘stuff’ that gets projected in various ways

The cloned dog thing bothers me so much! Wouldn't it be so much more meaningful to adopt another dog of the same breed as a tribute? To give that dog a home, rather than cloning your dog, knowing it's impossible to actually replace that connection you had?”

How the fuck does one CLONE a dog? Why can’t people just accept she likes certain breeds? Why is that such a fucking problem to you guys?

”I had the misfortune of having her as a regular customer when I worked my first tax-paying job at an antique store as a teen. One of my bosses' contemporaries would call about an hour before she would come in to warn us ahead of time. She would swan her way in with an entourage and demand we shut the store down just for her (we were a high end establishment, and in order to do that, you would have to call ahead of time and were only allowed this if you were going to make a purchase over $7k.) She'd also try to bring her dogs into the store (another no-no.) When she was denied both requests, she'd throw a fit and verbally shit all over the store, saying she could buy x, y, and z at better establishments and so on (to which my boss would reply "Wonderful. you can grace someone else with your presence....") Then, if she was interested in something, she'd try to devaluate the item by going on how bad it was, etc- and then demand to be given a wholesale discount 'because you look like you could use the publicity for your little shop.' Sometimes she'd have her husband in there with her, who looked like he wavered between wanting to expire of boredom and wanting to crack her in the noggin with one of the Waterford vases on a sideboard just for getting on his own nerves.

My employer finally had enough one day, and banned her from the shop. She started calling her an anti-Semite (boss lady was Jewish her damn self....) and telling her she'd ruin her business, that she'd never recover financially and so on. My boss calmly replied "Please do. Security videos tend to tell the whole truth in a court of law anyway, and since this place is wired for sound and video, I'm sure it won't be a problem for me." She got her ass out of there like it was on fire!”

Dear god, this comment is so oddly specific that it deserves to be on the top spot of “Random Shit I Make Up Just To Make People Look Bad”!

Honestly, to end it all off, I wish someone would make renders of Trey Parker and Matt Stone as King Kong-like beasts and have them fight “Mecha Streisand” and get their asses beaten. That would be fucking hilarious!
