Why do monsters get away with disrespecting Gaga on here?

[REALITY 76,309]

It's perfectly fine and acceptable, and it should be encouraged, to have civil and intelligent discussions. People have opinions and we should be allowed to express them.

However, there's a line between expressing an opinion and being blatantly disrespectful. And, I agree, I do think that there is a level of disrespect from some people that seem to take everything personally and seem to always want to defend their negativity with "Well, but this is my opinion" and "I bought her albums so I need to express my opinions about her" and things of that aspect.

It's silly and, if I'm being honest, quite stupid. There should be no defense for blatant negativity.

Spoiler

Now here come the people saying that "They're allowed to express their opinion" and completely disregard the first part of my statement.

I think it's because there is too much for the mods to get to each one

But I don't bash Gaga because it's rude!

So I get penalty and warning points for voicing my opinion on how I think certain fans' behavior and comments about Gaga are disrespectful or stupid but I constantly see some of the same people on here incessantly disrespecting Gaga and her work. If this is a positive, pro-Gaga forum, why am I and others who defend Gaga issued warnings or blocked but these users who keep trashing Joanne and other things Gaga does or constantly says things like "Gaga should be more like..." able to continue posting? Admins favor them? Or what's going on? 

 

There is way too much negativity geared towards Gaga on here, especially since Joanne has been released, it's unacceptable, I think you all need to stop. If you don't like Joanne, say it once, and stop creating constant threads bashing it and what Gaga is doing. Thanks

Exactly. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I don't have a problem with that but what I do have a problem with is when people are just down right mean. There's a huge difference between saying "I don't like this and here are the reasons why" and just being a vicious asshole. Gaga has been nothing but good to us. She took us in and loved us as if we were her own.

Well... I feel a tiny bit of shade against me with this thread because of my thread that questioned her and raised the question of some sort of self-imposed death/drama obsession with Gaga. So I'm going to put my two cents in this thread.

I get you. Honestly. It's just that some people are not 16. I do not know how old you are, but I notice a lot of younger fans here will go to extreme lengths to defend Gaga from even the slightest bit of criticism. But some of us have been fans since the beginning... Like, I remember Gagadaily having THIS logo...

I'm not saying my opinion is any better than any one of you because maybe I'm older or have been a fan longer but I personally feel like I'm entitled to feel like Gaga's career has declined. There's no going around that. You can sugarcoat it but it's not an opinion, it's a fact. She's successful, sure. But the hype has died down and creative development has stalled on a lot of levels (fashion wise, visuals, touring wise...) It's not up for debate. We haven't seen (good) choreography in a really long time for instance. We haven't had any pop cultural impactful moments à la 2009/10/11 in recent years.

And sure, she's changed. Sure, she's different. Sure, she's an artist. But she herself said at the start she didn't just want to be a vocalist but a very impactful performance artist. And there's not a lot of that anymore. And "we" are allowed to whine about missing that aspect of her just as much as you get to praise her to the heavens for having stellar emotional vocals and mid-tempo songs. 

It's called preference.

Some people are around for a long time, so they feel entitled to have control over Gaga's work or some sort of fanservice for supporting her for so long.

I've been around with Gags since 2008, but I couldn't ever imagine thinking like that. I'm grateful to be alive, being able to experience this legend in her living days, like a good person would.

To answer OT, I think it's not humanly possible for moderators to fish out every disrespectful comment from every single thread. That's why we should keep on reporting whenever we come across posts that break GGD rules. Also, if a user gets WP or is even banned, it's not apparent to other users, right? I mean only locking of threads are immediately visible. So is it possible that the ones who post disrespectful things about Gaga do get some sort of penalty, but others are not aware of it  ?

I agree especially if people are being just generally being rude and disrespectful. You may have freedom of speech, but it doesn't mean that the words you say aren't rude or horrible. And frankly, there's enough negativity in the world already. 

Use your frustrations to make GagaDaily a POSITIVE, HAPPY PLACE.
