I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga. Have been since 2009. Her artistry, vocals, and showmanship has had me hooked. I think the toxic people are the ones who feel she needs to be a certain way. I respect and love how she expresses herself, and choose to embrace all the different directions she goes since it’s all part of an overarching artistic journey.

People just need to stop expecting things from her. Let HER be the artist and YOU be the gracious audience. And if you no longer want to watch, don’t. Easy as that.

People are barely as rude in real life about the artists they like in comparison to the internet. They think the internet gives them a pass to be rude, and since it amplifies everything, it makes them feel like they're actually changing the world because "OMG Katy is selling curtains" or whatever.

I agree.

I live outside the space time continuum.

Exactly.  People want her to do exactly what they want her to do.  If what she wants to do is something different than that, she gets dragged.   Those people are fans of what they want, they are not fans of Gaga.  They feel ownership of Gaga because they supported her and spent money, and they feel they "made" Gaga so she owes them everything.  But the truth is, Gaga made herself through great talent, practice, and years of hard work.  Fans are the beneficiaries of what Gaga made herself.

Stan culture has literally almost killed the experience of being a fan.

THIS

 

People trying to sit behind their computer screens and say "she's over" because she is doing a residency, acting like they are better equipped to manage her career when they can barely manage their own lives.

I agree.

But I like to be part of it for laughs. I don't genuinely support any of its associated philosophies.

I came in here expecting something cringy, but I completely agree. Yesterday's behavior made me want to quit stan culture. It's disgusting. 

Wait.. what happened?

I love Stan culture. It's quite possibly one of the greatest things to come with technology. The things people will do as stans is so funny and great to experience. If you're too soft for stan culture/stan twitter then it's not for you. I hope it continues because I need more entertainment on the interwebs.
