Haroon 49,685 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just try to be in her shoes for a sec and imagine visiting GGD one day and see there are 5 different topics made in the span of a hour that go like this: Haroon's weight gain. Haroon showing off his new body, Stop fat shaming Haroon and his body Haroon isn't fat, Haroon needs new coach where people are fighting over the fact that u have gained a few pounds or not I'd find it weird that people are fighting over my weight If there's one discussion going on about it that is being done in a mature fashion then sure There is a problem with weight threads overall because it attracts flamebait and they never end well, so it's best not to have them at all. In an ideal world they'd go fine and not end in flames but here is where the problem lays u cannot make a opinion about someone's weight whether is objective or not, that's sensitive topic and for someone like Gaga who had had eating disorders it's even worse u can't say, she gained weight, even if that is a objective statement because u would make the other person uncomfortable and u don't know how she will react to that if there isn't anything nice to say just don't say anything at all rather than make a statement, no matter how objective and not insulting it is, that later could affect the person I agree that people need to take other people's feelings into consideration and be more sensitive If someone makes a comment on weight then it speaks more about them and what they're giving attention to rather than the person the comment is made about. If they have the time and energy to be critiquing another person's weight then that's their problem. I don't agree with "if there isn't anything nice to say just don't say anything at all" because I'm totally for different opinions, what I'm not for is saying mean stuff, there's a big difference If you say anything at all it can affect people so it's not realistic to go around life feeling like you're walking on egg shells because someone can be offended - people can and will be offended over anything. It's our job to fight towards an accepting and equal society so people aren't offended over opinions that shouldn't matter in the first place. I'm not saying people should say whatever they want without care whether or not it offends someone at all by the way, just clarifying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpusDiaboli666 199 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 exactly and Gaga just said that she started visiting GGD again Imagine she logs in tonight and all she sees in Gaga Thoughts is: Stop the Gaga body shaming Gaga gained weight etc etc etc When and where did she say she's reading here again? Just when the site has gotten messier than ever. on another point: with this thread you are giving this topic even more attention. It would probably be better to ignore these threads than to make one about forbidding these threads. But I agree it's horrible and I don't want her to read mean things. The people who say this stuff should be banned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I don't agree with "if there isn't anything nice to say just don't say anything at all" because I'm totally for different opinions, what I'm not for is saying mean stuff, there's a big difference there can be tons of different opinions which are nice opinions, I'm not saying that u shouldn't speak unless u praise ur fave, but put ur different opinion in a nice way - way that wont hurt the person that ur are talking about and I'm all about the "if there isn't anything nice to say just don't say anything at all" because I would rather shut my mouth than say something that can hurt the person I'm talking about because idk his mental state or his sould peace etc I would rather not let the person get hurt rahter than hurt him for sake of giving different opinion and u arre right about the egg part but as I said we are different the things that don't hurt me may hurt you etc. and I would rather not be responsible for someone's heartache that may be cause by insensitive comment + it's one thing to say "Ur hair is a mess" and it's whole other story to say "Gaga has gained weight" even if the latter one seems more 'nice' it still has more value than the other it's best not to have them at all. exactly point: with this thread you are giving this topic even more attention. PS: This is not a thread discussing Gaga's weight It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz89 373 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I totally agree! We should discuss the important things (Gaga's music, her vocals, her talent etc) and not her weight. Many of the comments were really disgusting and I couldn't believe I'm on GGD, a forum dedicated to her! We are her fans, we should support her and If we give criticism, it should be constructive!!

OpusDiaboli666 199 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 there can be tons of different opinions which are nice opinions, I'm not saying that u shouldn't speak unless u praise ur fave, but put ur different opinion in a nice way - way that wont hurt the person that ur are talking about and I'm all about the "if there isn't anything nice to say just don't say anything at all" because I would rather shut my mouth than say something that can hurt the person I'm talking about because idk his mental state or his sould peace etc I would rather not let the person get hurt rahter than hurt him for sake of giving different opinion and u arre right about the egg part but as I said we are different the things that don't hurt me may hurt you etc. and I would rather not be responsible for someone's heartache that may be cause by insensitive comment + it's one thing to say "Ur hair is a mess" and it's whole other story to say "Gaga has gained weight" even if the latter one seems more 'nice' it still has more value than the other exactly Okay not answering my question I see. If she comes here and reads on this site like you are worried about there will still be attention on her weight with ur thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if you have knowledge about how someone reacts to certain things then you should avoid saying things that will trigger them because hurting people on purpose isn't okay in the slightest Some people do simply need to build a thicker skin though because there are cases when people take offence at the smallest of things and mountains are made out of mole hills Your hair comment and weight comment still depend on the person though, you can never be sure what's going to hurt more to someone, there's no set "value" on them. People deem one worse than the other because we're conditioned to think so from seeing how people are insulted or praised - at the end of the day they're both superficial comments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Okay not answering my question I see. If she comes here and reads on this site like you are worried about there will still be attention on her weight with ur thread. she said that around may last year after her derpession ad stuff and she's been caught several times posting thing on twitter right after someone posts them on GGD .... I hope I answered ur question nowand to add this thread is not talking about Gaga;s weight but the threads that talk about Gaga's weight and not negative effect that Gaga may experience from these threads It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpusDiaboli666 199 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ah okay I thought she said it recently..last year it was more civilized here but she shouldn't be here because there are too many haters here who will come at her for anything so I think and hope she knows that people who talk **** about her like that aren't fans even if they are in this forum. I still feel like it would be better to not exclude weight threads per se but ban everyone who says mean things about her cause as hurtful as reading about her weight would be these are people who bash her on every topic and every chance they get and shouldn't be here at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why don't they just baa the members who are being constantly rude and arrogant and are making those kinda threads.They do, but then those trolls wait out their 3 month or 6 month ban and come back after that time period to troll again.

Jed 7,716 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The fact that people can talk about her weight like that as if she owes it to us to be a coke bottle at all times.. it makes my head and heart hurt. If Gaga ever talked about a fans weight like that the same people would be like "OMG she's a monster this isn't what she stands for!" but they feel it's totally fine to do it for her. The reason I'm in this fan base is because I'm supposed to be able to come here and not see people bashing her for how much she weighs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikola 4,342 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 i think oly thing we can do is ifnore those threads tbh.....i mean no matter what those peopel will laways find a way to atack gaga because of her weight......i mean let me see your body you ****ing idiots........bashing someone because of their bodies are the lowest you can go tbh I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
