It should come as no surprise to you all that I am a staunch Beyoncé stan. I have no shame over this and admit it with the utmost steadfastness found only in a loyal fan of hers. When someone says something even slightly offensive, intentionally or not, I am the first one to step up to the challenge. I do like to think that I keep it civilized for the most part, but sometimes I get stans of some fucking bargain bin bitch trying to test me and I have to start getting a little nasty with the shade.
The Beyoncé standom, however, is known to be a lot crazier than that. Where I might restrain myself in an argument over her, another Beyoncé stan will gladly tell you to “take your felching elsewhere” or to “eat a bag of assholes.” It’s a blessing and a curse to Beyoncé, as she appreciates the loyalty and fidelity, but even she recognizes that her stans get a little crazy. As an actual stan, I’d like to point out that it’s tough sometimes to show some civility when one of our generation’s most talented and well-rounded entertainers doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.
Stanning does have its limits, and this story is a prime example of complete disregard for those limits. A Chicagoan man by the name of Ronald Deaver, who will now be recognized as one of the most batshit Beyoncé stans to walk this earth, has been charged with felonious assault after allegedly stabbing a man on New Year’s Eve in Garfield Heights. When questioned, Detective Marty Compton reported that the fight had begun because the victim of the assault did not know that Beyoncé was married to Jay-Z. The victim had been taken to the hospital and is currently in good condition. Ronald Deaver was located after attempting to flee and was promptly arrested.
Now I understand some stan-outs in certain situations, and yes, everyone should be well informed on the existence of one of the world’s most talented and wealthiest power couples, but come on. Stabbing someone over Beyoncé’s marital status? Unless the victim was questioning the validity of Beyoncé’s relationship, then this is just completely unwarranted, and EVEN THEN, you could do a little less than stabbing someone.
I love Beyoncé, but I’ll be damned if I’m taking one in-between the cheeks for her in the county slammer. I’ll tell a hater to eat shit, I’ll snatch a wig if I have to, but I refuse to catch a sentence for her, and so should all of you other stans. I’m not going to discourage you from stanning for her, but let’s be sensible about our stanning, ok? The Beyoncé standom doesn’t need to look any crazier.
