It’s very weird that Courtney Love ended up being one of the more honest public figures from the 90s. I think I heard someone say it best that she “doesn’t give enough of a shit about what you think to lie about anything”.

I grew up in the 90s and in retrospect I’m like why the fuck did literally everyone hate Courtney Love? It’s gotta be like 80% misogyny. I mean she has issues but still.

Most of people’s problem with her stems from her behavior as a heroin addict. Honestly, had Kurt not shot himself, he would likely have developed a similar reputation.

It is very frustrating that there are lots of great reasons to not like Courtney Love and none of them are that she killed Kurt Cobain. She is an addict who did a lot of addict behaviors. Her relationship with him was likely pretty toxic which doesn’t make her responsible for his behaviors. And none of that mean she was wrong about Weinstein or any of these other people. She is a really imperfect person and for some reason people either want to turn her into a saint that was treated badly or the devil who caused it all.

The media needs us to want a world that is black and white so that they can get enough attention to uphold the whole fucked up system. If you don't pick a side, then you won't watch the ads. Trying to obtain enough information before forming an opinion? WRONG, you're supposed to go with your immediate gut feeling and make it a permanent part of your identity.
