President Trump 3,508 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It's insane. You browse through the forums and notice somebody has posted a bad review link, sometimes even bolding the most egregious part. What the hell. It's like you were offended so much when you stumbled across the bad article, that you needed OTHER people to also feel your annoyance! What is this? Gaga's album is out, we got good music, we got a new era, we're getting videos, we're getting interviews. But that's not enough, obviously. You need everyone ELSE to enjoy it to the same degree that you do, or else you have a hard time enjoying it at all. Your enjoyment is legitimately quantified to a major degree by how much other people like it. Your opinion is entirely group-based. I can't believe it. I'm not even referring to the bad article links anymore. In general - what the **** man? This desperate group mentality - the majority MUST agree with your opinion, or else you cannot enjoy this anymore. It's almost as if once you see other people that don't agree with you, you turn off your enjoyment as if something is wrong with your own opinion, since there are others that disagree with you. Can't you be ****ing proud of your own opinion, of your own ideas, instead of bowing down, and worshipping the opinion of others? Because that's what it is - worship of others' opinions. Whether or not it's that you spend the rest of your time agreeing with them, or you spend that same time disagreeing and being wholly focused on them - you're still giving them a great portion of your time and space. Why? Who the **** cares? My god. Just listen to your favorite songs and get carried away in whatever world it provides. Let go.

Haroon 49,685 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I agree with some of your points, people shouldn't let reviews (whether good or bad) change their feelings. However, if a review brings up something that they hadn't considered and that enlightens them and makes them like/dislike it more then that's perfectly normal in my opinion I don't think people should get hung up on good or bad reviews though, like they are what they are. If you disagree that's fine, post why and then leave it at that, there's no need to attack people who don't think the same If you agree then that's fine as well, post why you agree and leave it at that, there's no need to attack people who don't think the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impostor 4,114 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Because it's a tradition in this fanbase to drag other people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotBritney 66 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 This fanbase drags other popstars on the regular. When they realize it can happen to us too, they're SHOCKED and APPALLED and ANGRY and NEED TO GET WHOEVER FIRED! Apparently it's only fair when they're allowed to drag others, but not the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
display name 4,360 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Gurl if I could give more likes and give multiple likes to a post... Anyway, this was especially bad during ARTPOP. It's actually going pretty well so far with Joanne, I think. Nevertheless, I see your point, and hopefully, others will become more sure of their own opinions and not worry so much about what others might think about what they think. Be okay with liking an album that's not either universally liked or universally known. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMonster 1,806 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 To be honest I don't care. I like Joanne, and I do not give a single **** about reviews other than making an observation on contextual level about their biases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,762 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I just retweet the good reviews. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
