Everyone can’t have the same opinion or tastes. Unfortunately, some families and friendships end up divided because of the opposing views they hold for each other. For example, these sisters ended up in an argument over the upcoming Chris Brown concert in North Carolina. A concert only proved that the relationship between this family has a lot more problems than they want to see.
Emergency-Biscotti57 shared on r/AmIOverreacting several screenshots of a conversation or fight she had with her sister. The argument between the sisters started when OP’s younger sister explained that she was planning to go to Chris Brown’s concert in North Carolina for her birthday. In the message, the sister included the price of the ticket, lodging options during the trip, and requested that OP also check the cost of the trip and reply to the RSVP. The problem was not the cost, but that OP responded to the message by saying, “But CB beats women“.
At first, the younger sister brushed off OP’s concerns and defended Chris Brown, even saying that she still planned to attend the concert. The situation escalated because OP kept pressuring the younger sister not to go, even sending a documentary, and insisting that she does not support the singer. The sister made it very clear that, even though she knows everything that CB did and that she just wants to go and enjoy herself, she will still attend the concert. So, the OP continues to insist, and this only causes the sister to become more and more defensive.
In the comments, a similar exchange to the one between the sisters occurred. Since they were divided between those who decided it was not their business and better to keep the peace. Meanwhile, others said it was better to stop supporting people who are not a good example.
I think this whole thread was unnecessary. Sometimes we don’t have to say everything we’re thinking. All you had to say was “hey yeah im gonna sit this one out because I don’t support Chris brown but I hope you have the best time. I know you love his music”. End of conversation. It didn’t have to go this far. I’m a big sister too, the oldest daughter actually. We have to know when we’re coming off a little too charged and I think that was you in this moment. From one big sis to another 💕

I completely disagree. When someone supports an abuser, you have every right to stand your ground and preach what you believe in. Who cares if it’s your friend, sister, mother – the pope. If someone does something wrong and has no empathy for it then you bet I’m going to educate them and tell them right from wrong

This is why we have so many abusers because people enable them. Op is a good person because they’re not an enabler
In the conversation, it is exemplified that a bigger problem exists between them. The problem is that the older sister is often against canceled celebrities and frequently lectures others about it. At the same time, the younger sister is not worried about whether a famous person is canceled or not, if she likes them. However, the younger sister also says that the older sister may feel superior to her.
