The one controversy you just cant forgive Gaga

[UDO 35]

I don't understand the controversy, GaGa has not done anything controversial, or "crazy" or anything in my opinion. GaGa is pretty tame.

I understand she has done things that are considered controversial for the general public, but in my opinion she has done nothing controversial.

As a vegan, I don't see wearing the meat dress any different to people eating animals products on a daily basis. It is hypocritical though, I agree. I don't think people realise what happens to animals everyday at the expense of human greed.

I'd say that's also what causes my cognitive dissonance on this. Eating meat is the one of the most common things in the world, it's hard to be full of rage every time you see meat.

It's just disconcerting for me to have such a strong love/appreciation for the meat dress while having such a strong moral opposition to the slaughter of animals for the purposes of making the dress.

Fur and really the way she explained it.  Not great.

What does everyone who says fur think of the meat dress? It does seem a little hypocritical to attack Gaga for wearing animal fur but not animal flesh.

I mean I'll admit to hypocrisy on this. I don't like her wearing fur and I also believe that the meat industry is cruel and unnecessary. I still think the Meat Dress is rather cool. I suppose I give her some leeway because it's still widely acceptable to eat meat, the meat dress is no more cruel than cows slaughtered for dinner.

It's hard for me to separate my love of the piece aesthetically and my love of such a bold and culturally subversive statement with my strong feelings against the meat industry.

With fur it seems a lot easier to condemn. It's not a bold, subversive, different, transcendent thing to wear fur. Many people have worn fur, it's hardly some culture-bending statement. It's just a pretty coat at the expense of a tortured animal.

While I disagree strongly with wearing fur, Gaga has never done anything that has been unforgivable.

 

The meaning and message of meat dress make it up for it

I forgot what she said about this. I remember it being a little b---hy and that it left a bad taste but I forgot exactly what was said

The whole R. Kelly/Terry R. cluster**** that surrounded DWUW.

Girl shot voluntarily shot herself in the foot with that one, and in result a legitimately great song had to suffer. It totally overshadowed the ~art~ we were supposed to be focussing on.  I'm still not over it. She should have known better.
