hELXIG 42,958 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 <3 You said it all @josefpallas 'Sassiness' has developed into something really bad. Past the point of funny and over to the far side of nasty. I don't think just here either... I'm seeing this really biting, disgusting, rude 'sassiness' coming out in every day life too. It's a new loophole people have found in social rules where they think they can be as terrible as they want with no repercussions because they're "just being funny. Handle it." People here can be so terrible about Gaga. I think it's better now than it was a few months ago... when you couldn't come on here at any time of the day/night without there being a new thread about how bad she looks or how she owes us something that we 'deserve' or w/e. The atmosphere here can get pretty ugly. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. You can't go into any thread without there being a meltdown or a stan war. The mods do a good job (usually ) but there are certain types of thread I know to stay out of. stream bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust and believe people who bash Gaga are warned with no remorse. Some people act like this is a free for all when they want to criticize this forum and the members in it, but it's not. There's very tight moderation here when Gaga's concerned, so the only way you can explain the torrent of complaints about this forum's negativity is that some people (the maker of this thread included) just can't take other opinions. And this is a forum meant for discussing opinions, so please do yourself a favor @everyone and get the **** out of here. Amen to that There is this idea that having a negative opinion is synonymous to being hateful or rude. If you don't like to discuss people's opinions, which is fine, stick to the news section of GGD rather than the forums. 1 minute ago, MonsterMum said: But how can it still be a forum where, as you stated, is a place to discuss opinions when 80% of the threads turn into a meltdown circle jerk? Maybe I'm not reading enough threads at the right time but I barely see any that are truly disrespectful, yet many complaining about them and the few that are full of hatred seem to be dealt with pretty fast by the mods, and if I do come across hatred I tend to just ignore it or ignore the user.

I'm asking because I don't personally find entertainment in watching other people treat each other like crap. Is it because someone hurt you when you were younger and now you live to see other people get hurt? Is it because social media and the famous people who you idolise indulge in this behaviour and you want to be like them? Is it because it makes you feel superior to watch other people be taken down? Is it because you get to indulge yourself in negative behaviour without actually being involved? Or maybe because you get to treat other people badly with no negative repercussions or guilt feelings because you feel like it's justified behaviour if you call it 'sass'? Because it's not justified. Being a ****, and thriving off watching other people be cunts, is still a shitty thing to to and it not justified at all This is why the world is SICK. Because everyone thinks that bullying is entertainment. People love to indulge in the sick pleasure of watching other people squirm. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

I guess I find it entertaining cuz I dont take it as serious as you do. Plus, when did I ever say I find bullying good? Sassiness =/= Bullying. And assuming all those things u listed is pretty rude btw. Calm down queen.

Oh but I'm ignoring the hatred myself too. My point was more that there's little to discuss if most of the "News" post turn into this collective melt down threads. Discussions are good, you (as in anyone) can learn from them and that's something we need but a row of sassy gifs to show how displeased you are or replies like here with "K"...there is little room for discussion then is there.

mic 1,415 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It's going to be All Good once LG5 drops. People are just bored I guess. I don't visit often anymore too, but that's coz there's almost no reason to do it. So the only hypers remaining are ones who like to be too much as it appears. So again when LG5 drops it will get normal again. Unless it flops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hELXIG 42,958 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 You're all sick. Humanity is sick. Even I'm sick. This is why we need Gaga. Not so 'save pop music'. We need her to save humanity from itself by inspiring love and compassion again. We need her to come back and bring another firey era where she reminds us what is and isn't okay. We need to Born Brave Bus to tour again. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 109,331 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I think you do raise some fair points, however, you can also cool it with "I was longtime member of this site" and "I realize most of you are children" thing. You can raise valid points without the need to bring up the fact you were super senior member a long long time ago, is this mentioned to gain respect or actually will discredit your points as you goes on? That's like you went to a place, and said, "I used to work here along time ago, but then I left cos reasons." What exactly you expect from saying that? The admiration from current employees? The best you will get from them is an "OK. that's cool" and they will leave you alone cos they got their own thing to worry about. And also, not all children are childish as are not all adult are grown up. So age is not an argument to make your suggestion legit. Also, keep in mind, many peoples joined a forum just to have fun, have some laugh, to be reckless, cos they have got enough expectation a lot in real life, some people just wanna set it off for a bit before they return to their mundane life, some of members are not always goes for serious and deep discussions about things. This place can cater both, so let it be the melting pot that it is. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢, 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoro 566 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I kind of agree, i would say everyone is tired of the wait, but then again I realised its an excuse too I guess Gaga has pampered us so much in the past eras that we aren't used to her being so quiet and not talking to us.

Sass means no harm. Bullying does. Youre messing those things up. I don't get the problem. But ofc, it's your choice to get offended each and every time instead of laughing at a joke Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
