Poor Justin Bieber

This is a two-panel 2010s-style rage comic meme highlighting the extreme disproportionate harassment Justin Bieber faced from adult groups at the peak of his early fame in 2011. The top panel is labeled 'Grown men in 2011:', showing an enraged standard rage comic character screaming violent death threats at a meme figure with Justin Bieber's haircut holding a microphone, who only responds 'I like singing'. The bottom panel is edited to read 'Grown Women in 2011:', with a female-coded rage character (with messy yellow hair) screaming equally extreme sexualized threats, including that she will bully Bieber's girlfriends online, while the Bieber character again simply says he likes singing. The meme satirizes how unnecessarily hostile both groups of adults were to the teenage pop star for no justifiable reason.
