The filth that is getting directed at her is absolutely vile. And some of Kristen fans are actually justifying it by saying that *Rob* probably loves it because it "makes him feel popular." I'm appalled that grown-ass women are acting this way, re using Kristen as an excuse to spew garbage. I'd like to think she'd be just as horrified.
I mean, what is the end game here? Twigs gets so disgusted she breaks up with Rob and then...what? He realizes the 'error' of his ways and shows up on Kristen's doorstep with flowers and an engagement ring? I just don't get it. They broke up over a year ago. He can date whomever he wants. So can she.

Never thought I'd be commenting in a RPat thread, but him dating FKA Twigs (really, you chose that as your artist name?) at least makes him somewhat more interesting. And the meltdown from some of the Robsten fans is so damned racist, though sadly I have seen this kind of meltdown before. As soon as their "Prince" is seen dating a POC, OMG, the shit storm is filled with so much racist undertones, it's absolutely sickening. So many act as if he clearly couldn't get anything better, so he'll settle for her as some kind of place-holder and booby prize. At least until some other hot white chick comes by.
It's such a disheartening knee-jerk reaction I see quite a lot in fandom.

Never even heard of her until now but I watched a couple of youtube videos and her Massive Attack-ish style is the kind of music I really like. I'm going to get some of her songs.
For fun I sent her a tweet:

Curiosity got the better of me and I checked out some of the comments. Dude. They all need to take a thousand seats! Calling FKA Twigs a home wrecker is especially rich since Rob was single when they started dating. You know unlike a certain actress and director who took up with each other for about two seconds. But but but... they're married and have a secret baby!! In all seriousness, even though the DL Twihard threads are my guilty pleasure, I'm surprised there's more than, like, five R/K shippers still around. Unless it IS just five but with a hundred sockpuppets each. I hope RP does something really ott like wear a custom t-shirt with a picture of him and FKA Twigs kissing in a photo booth on it.

His new girlfriend is dope and beautiful to boot. The Robsten stans aren't even entertaining anymore, just puzzling. To paraphrase "Becky" "[they] are never, ever, ever, getting back together." I'm not surprised they jumped all over her being mixed, all these fandoms get racist when "threatened".

I hope this just brings them closer together. He seems really into her and they act more natural together than Robsten ever did. I think in a month of dating, they've displayed more casually comfortable couple PDA than he did with Kristen in 3 years.

New pics of Rob and twigs in Brussels: linkShe's on tour in Europe and he has a couple weeks until he starts a new movie so he joined her the other day in Paris. He looks totally blissed out and happy and some Kristen Stewart fans are acting like he's cheating on *them* and calling them both every horrible name in the book. Never mind that he and Kristen have been broken up well over a year. It's crazy.

Wow- that girl is mad talented, and stunning. (I just spent almost 20 minutes being mesmerized by her videos)

I know Robsten fans were always crazy, but I really wouldn't have predicted just how much they'd push back against this. They're so insistent he's "changed" and is a "hypocrite" now because he's "flaunting" his relationship. They're acting like he's Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch, instead of a guy who's literally walking down the street holding someone's hand. I guess they've been in a Robsten bubble so long they don't really get how couples who are comfortable with each other act. Frankly, both Rob and Kristen seem way happier since they broke up. I'm sure that last year they were together was a dreary death march. I like the pics of him watching her perform.

Holy God, the stans think this is a publicity stunt to hide his and Kristen's marriage and baby.
I need popcorn.
