It's not fair

If you're one of those people who think "she looks terrible" is an appropriate or necessary contribution of opinion, then no. 

A lot of talk on here lately is pure trash and really quite disheartening. 

I have to think this place isn't an accurate representation of Gaga's fan base. It's just the nature of the forum and the sad people it attracts just like atrl.

I honestly don't understand how this is relevant to my topic 

Its relevant to people focusing on the negatives of this forum!

There's a lot of chaos going on around the forum, and to sum it up it's because of the new direction Gaga is taking. Obviously, we are divided in half with those who are not here for this particular Joanne era, and those who are going with the flow. I'm personally not here for this era, and I have shared opinions that have gotten people upset because I was very critical of Gaga's choices this year. Regardless of what I or others like me think of this era, it is not fair for those who may oppose my (and those similar to my) opinion to attempt to paint us as hateful, rude or 'bitchy' individuals. 

What many fail on understand on here is all this energy and emotion that's being expressed is due to how many of us love Gaga. A lot of you were focusing on harsh opinions and forgot that if we didn't care for or love Gaga we wouldn't be writing sh*t on here in the first place. I'm here because I expect quality and art from Gaga, that's what made me a fan all those years ago. Understand that to see your favorite artist and idol dip everywhere including in the connection/relating area, it is hard to digest and it won't come with flowery opinions. And I admit I did come across as rude towards a few users on here, however only because I was getting sick of being told how I should react to what Gaga is doing.

Don't try and attack/shade/go after those of us with a more outspoken view because it's not realistic that everyone was going to go along with how things are rolling so far. At the end of the day we're all here because we love Gaga. Whether or not our opinions are nice it's all coming from a place of love and concern, since nothing she's doing now is making sense to a lot of us. So let's try to remember all of our words are simply opinions, and we can discuss them without making accusations that are person or pertaining to someone's character.

You shouldn't be attacked for your opinion. As long as it's not rude, those are the ones I don't like.

My issue is with people who make more disses than compliments or discussions. Or people who just flat out insult her and cry about "It's my opinion, geez!" And it's like..yes, you are entitled to that. It's fine to share it. But FFS what kind of person shows up to a fan club meeting to talk **** about the person they're there for? 

In reality this place should be a website where we celebrate Gaga with an occasional thread pointing out things we don't like, or if we are debating the negative things they should be brought up constructively in an actual discussion that digs deeper into analyzing her. 

I came across a user who literally said ZERO positive things about Gaga for more than an entire month - WTF? I understand not liking a particular era, but why be such a spoilsport?

@Fanta You propose your criticism constructively and make a point to praise Gaga and realistically point out what works. You acknowledge her strengths and limitations when discussing her weaknesses. I don't believe you are part of the problem of people being shitty, although a few lines in some of your posts have come off a bit heartless at times.

I get what you're saying. I'm more of a tough love sort of person, but it always comes from a good place and never maliciousness.

I think the dissatisfaction with the Joanne era is quite symptomatic of this generation's need for immediacy. They want everything, and they want it now, because they are so used to not having to wait for anything. When I was growing up, I had to watch TV for hours in the hopes of catching my faves' new music video. And my favorite band usually takes 4 year hiatuses between each album. I'm used to waiting, but this generation clearly isn't. 

Also, I do expect quality from Gaga as well, and so far she's giving it to us. Every performance has been great, the album is great, so that's why I just don't understand why so many people are so dissapointed with this era. 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it's negative, but the thing is, the negativity is taking over this forum, so it's like, why are we even here? Personally, when I'm disappointed with an artist or just don't care anymore, I move on to something else, I don't feel the need to rant about it on a forum.
