To All Whom It May Concern

did you honestly expect a dominantly gay fanbase to be all rainbows and sunshine? welcome to the real world  

this is the most pretentious thing i've ever read tbh  use the ignore button or leave the site, simple as

Dear, you think whatever you want. But pay attention to your tone, you come here to lecture with a superiority tone for what? No one here is better than anyone. We sure can expose what we think but never diminishing others.

two thoughts 

1) i agree stan culture has become sh1t within the last 2 years

2) still, gaga probably hasn't read any of the nasty gays' comments on here for a long time anyway

While I agree with you in some points, you really didn't have to take your time lecturing members in a forum that inevitably have mixed perspective, especially that you have no grounds whatsoever on what this cult site should say about Gaga. Nothing in life is a straight line (especially in this fanbase  ), and you have to consider that. At the end of the day, it's still their opinions be it positive or negative; it doesn't really concern anyone even you. 

I dont log in that much because I have a lot of things to attend to, but I'm playing it safe the whole time here while maliciously laugh at the meltdowns in this side.   That's the best example I can give to you about not taking this cult site so seriously. 

Edit: I still think the casual b*tching in this site needs to slow down tho. It's an ugly sight if you ask me.

Sometimes I am absolutely disgusted by the way some people carry themselves and that's not coming from an administration standpoint, but an actual person one. Some of you are so damn rude to each other that I don't even know how anybody thinks it's okay to talk to someone like that (also to those who "like" the posts). Stupid gifs too. 

God help you if you really treat people like that in real life not just on a forum. What do you actually gain from being nasty on the internet? Is it that you feel that the anonymity makes you more ballsy? Would you honestly say the same things you say on here to the person you bully in real life if they were sitting next to you? I bet if you saw the person's face when you say some of that stuff in real life you wouldn't do it again and if you did, you're a 100% certified grade A bully. Something we are trying to eradicate as a culture and have spent countless hours trying to mediate.  And don't give me a bullshit excuse that "oh they don't even live next to me who cares".

And don't get me started on the Gaga bashing. Same thing. If Gaga was sitting in front of you, would you scream "BITCH GIVE ME LG5" or "SHE NEEDS TO LOSE WEIGHT" in her face? No you would not, you would be basically starstruck so don't give me that noise. 

I'm expecting people to reply to this trying to "read me for filth" or whatever stan lingo there is now but honestly none of that **** matters. What DOES matter however and what sticks past our young adulthood is that people learn to at least have the common decency to respect each other. Even if you hated someone for so long, they're still a person and sure **** happens but doesn't prevent one from at least being cordial. I mean I'm not expecting everyone to play nice but it's something to think about.

Sorry this was preachy but I'm trying to get through to you guys to see the bigger picture.

You're totally on point with this. People here can be so strong about b*tching Gaga, but never actually thought if they could do it in person. Sometimes its even hard for me to tell if one shades in jest or totally meant to shade. 

Being on the internet really gives them the balls to say sh*t, huh ? which most of the time contradicts if they can actually do it in real life. I just learn not to say anything much less throw a shade. 

Don't worry, it's nice to hear what one of the mods can say about the people here. Been waiting for this tbh

(1) You expect her to deliver to you when in reality, she does not owe you anything. In fact, it is the exact opposite way around.

(2) I realise many of you, without wanting to discredit your intelligence, are children and very much living out an online persona. 

(3) Any teaser, insight or idea shared is generosity on her part and not a requirement or obligation.

i kinda agree with everything you said, except for the quoted three statements. 

(1) it's a relationship, a real bond: gagz and her monsters both owe one another. a few examples:

you will never have a pop singer that loves you more than i do, i tell you that right now

i would like to say to all my little monsters, who i love so much, that i cannot imagine my life without you, nor can i imagine my future without you, and sometimes i even question how i survived without you

i cannot be destroyed and i will not be destroyed and you will never destroy the kingdom that is my fans

i put love into my fans and they put love into me; they protect me, so it's now my destiny to protect them

i will live and die and breathe my work and my art to protect your dreams because you protect mine

no matter whatever happens in your life, i'll always ****ing be there to catch you

(2) that's like factually inaccurate, there are numerous young adults here. plus, as a gagz fan, you should be the first to understand that there is no difference whatsoever between "real" selves and personas. 

(3) see the first point.

That's all nice and well but this is a discussion forum so of course we are going to be 'Little Managers'. There's this idea that you aren't allowed to comment on Gaga or her career prospects or even have a difference in opinion without being labelled a 'bad fan'. 

As long as your point, negative or not, is made intellectually and shows respect I don't see the issue.  The biggest problem is that this forum seems to let people of all ages in so you've got 13 year olds arguing with 30 year olds. It's a little ridiculous.  

I can't stand the hypocrisy of this stuff when in the same breath a large amount of these people will throw disgusting insults about Katy, Meghan and Madonna but that's okay because they're untalented and deserve it...

I honestly don't think you should take it so seriously,  it's just a fan forum and let's be real Gaga doesn't care in the slightest what is said on here. Ignore a post if you dislike it, report it if it's disgusting and then move on.

True constructive criticism is the minority here tho. Mostly just complaint and personal attacks on Gaga.

I don't know why a portion of the gay population thinks being sassy and bitchy are positive personality traits to be emulated. It's poor behavior with no redeeming value, for anyone, not just Gays.

i know but that's never going to change when it's nearly all gay media, it's why i stay away from it all  nothing irritates me more when people say i'm catty and bitchy just cus i'm gay

I'm probably the most offensive cat on the forum, sorry.

The way you talk means you also cant take other opinions (like this one) so you're basically saying 'get the **** out of here' to yourself too

If you've ever seen me discuss you know that's not true I'm not perfect, but I'm actually very confident that most people on this forum know they can have a perfectly good conversation with me even when there are major disagreements.

"GGD is full of Gaga haters" is not an opinion, however. It's simply a false statement and it's an insult not just to the community but also to the moderators who keep a very close eye on aggression between members or towards Gaga. So no, I'm not gonna take that "opinion" seriously.
