lego 44,165 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeah, this comment doesn't seem quite fair to come from her. Many people have met through media these days, even all of us in her fan community. I would consider my online friends as real friends and this seems condescending from Gaga. Don't really enjoy this comment from her. You misunderstood her:) she's talking about close friends who you're able to see in person but choose to tweet them instead. Like people are lazy, they would rather chat online than meet and have coffee together. And it's also a response to Madonna, between the lines. She won't forgive or be friends with her if M doesn't reach out to her. Posting Gaga's selfie with lines over her face wasn't enough to believe she's genuine.

giskardsb 12,565 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The responses in this thread point out the problem with social media. You can't say everything in a soundbite and those predisposed to take comments a certain way will read into them what they want. The fact so many fans are proving the point of why Gaga says social media cannot replace personal human interaction is amusing. All you should go read "you are not a gadget" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklistedd 599 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I wish her Instagram looked like Beyoncé's or Kylie Jenner's more tbh Ha feed looks messy Love the caption though. It's true. Boring? This is just like slut shaming, you don't have to knock online friendships in order to praise friendships that happen outside of the web. Just because you have the money to fly around the globe and meet your friends doesn't mean everyone can. No. Its not. Shes just reiterating a very valid point about the lack of human to human connection these days. If you're taking it up the ass thats on you, clearly you're defensive because of your own insecurities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George 363 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Not people taking this the most wrong way you can possibly take it The idea behind it is simple: we won't make things up through Instagram, come and talk to me when you are around, if you truly "meant love" If you want to express love to people that YOU CAN ACTUALLY REACH OUT, do it!

blacklistedd 599 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Exactly. And she decided to bring that fanbase close together...with her own social media platform. I'm sorry but she's full of sh!t sometimes. She does anything but bash social media just because shes making a valid point about the strength of human to human connection. Shes not anti-technology just because shes one of the few people actually promoting the importance of human interaction as well. Some of you literally reach to take what she says and villainize her. Like is this 2011 still? Are you people STILL reaching to push her off a pedestal shes already been shoved off of? Like get over yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do not do much media stuff, but I do belong to a few forums and consider my friends that I have made there as real friends, just saying. The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

Melech 9,900 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Maybe some of ya'll should stop b---hing about a harmless Instagram pic on the internet, get some real friends, and maybe you'll understand what she's talking about :dead: I can't with you guys sometimes I have real friends. And I also have real online friends. So you better stop ask people what to do okay? thank you much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't say online friendships are fake. Shes stressing the importance of human to human connections. Any reasonable/logical thinking person can deduce that. Hence why people like you reach to split hairs and find something to criticize. Its a trip. But also I think a lot of people on this forum probably spend hours and hours on the internet talking to people so they're twisting this and taking it personally and lashing out at her for something she didn't even mean in that way.

lego 44,165 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 That is alright and I didn't see that Gaga selfie with the "Madonna lines" over her face. I actually do not do much media stuff, but I do belong to a few forums and consider my friends that I have made there as real friends, just saying. Oh you missed pages of meltdowns, "was it shade or not?" It's this one http://instagram.com/p/xMzvmOmEQS/ Madonna tried to end this feud via instagram and Gaga is saying it's all deceit and to forgive and to be friends you need to reach out in person. And Madonna can do that if she wants to. She's not talking about online friends who you're unable to meet due to distance etc. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
