Saldívar became a fan and decided to form a fan club promoting Selena. She contacted the singer's father and manager Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. seeking permission to start one. After a meeting with Quintanilla, Jr., he agreed to Saldívar's request, and she became the founder, and acting president, of the Selena fan club. In January 1994, Selena opened two boutiques in Texas, one in Corpus Christi, the other in San Antonio. Because of her touring schedule, she was unable to run the businesses and decided to appoint Saldívar as manager, since Quintanilla, Jr. believed she was the perfect choice, having successfully filled the role as president of the fan club for three years." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Yolanda_Sald%C3%ADvar#Yolanda_Sald.C3.ADvar Indeed, she stole her money and mismanaged the fanclub to exploit it for her own profit, but still: she started out as a huge fan of Selena. I mean, I didn't start this for sh*ts and giggles. Some of the comments and assumptions that are made about Gaga or any other female musician are absolutely horrendous. Why should I be silent when I could show where those kinds of mentalities actually go, if the person who thinks like that is not just a notorious keyboard warrior, but has the motivation to act on their thoughts. If this makes just one person go "Oh, maybe I should actually care about my own sh*t instead of spending 24/7 trash-talking and obsessing over somebody who doesn't know who I am.", I accomplished my mission. No. She started out as someone who'd been crazy for a long time and managed to sneak her way into a pop stars life. She was doing the same thing with a different female Tejano singer before the opportunity to work with Selena came along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post is really gross. Why are you wishing harm to him and his family? Grow up. This thread might be a bit morbid to think about, but he didn't really disrespect Selena. He's just worried about some crazy obsessive stans among monsters. Wtf Leave him alone. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arca 213 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It could happen to any famous person, but it would be fault of the murderer, not the whole fanbase It almost happened to Björk, she had a stalker that wanted to send her a bomb that would infect her with HIV... But he couldn't do that and instead, the bomb would just desfigure her. And all of this because he considered himself the only one who should be with her, and he wanted to ''punish'' her because she had been with a man... It's really ****ed up, you can read everything here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_L%C3%B3pez_(stalker) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The essay long posts accussing me of being a Tumblr SJW (completely oblivious that the post I quoted is an excerpt of wikipedia lmfao), the same people who are known for notoriously criticizing Gaga at any occasion liking all the posts that either are aimed as personal jabs at me or blatantly ignore the point I was trying to make are a clear indicator that a lot of people lack self-awareness and don't ever question their own behaviour and initial responses. I didn't make this thread to poke fun of Selena at all, I made this to point out that maybe, just maybe the way you are responding to situations like that is more inappropiate and damaging than you personally think. If you can't admit that sometimes you are wrong, I'm really sorry for you. I hope that you'll learn in the future, that being on the wrong side of an argument does not mean that you're a failure and that you can still redeem yourself by standing up for what is right. You make a thread suggesting that a fan could murder Gaga because we don't agree with Melanie lashing out at a fan that leaned in front of her for a picture? Do you know how many people do this to Gaga because they don't think they'll get a photo otherwise? I mean you're drawing a connection between teenagers / young adults being desperate for a picture with their idol to a crazy murderer? How do you think this was thread was going to go? It's perhaps the most extreme leap in thought I've seen here and it's offensive to not only fans here, but Gaga herself. If anyone is in the wrong here, it's you and I'm sorry if you can't see that.

I agree. It's actually offensive to gaga fans that genuinely do love her and just want a picture because she means so much to them. Calling them a serial killer is just downright disgusting. I'm sure Selena is in heaven looking at this thread like "really?". I'm not surprised by the anger by the OP since he has previously told members that they deserved to get shot in the head and die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Just now, Jesse Pinkman said: Its disrespectful to Selena because he's using her death as some sick say to make a point about some whiny ass popstar. Selena is a beloved figure, and this thread is tacky and offensive given the context and reasoning. Ok but it was clearly not his intention and if you guys feel that way, the best way is to report the thread and let mods decide. It's really stupid how he got personally attacked by many users only because he posted this. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
