I was just so tired of hearing all these European LMs talk about how easy it is for Americans to go. I mean, it isn't easy but it is easier I appreciate how for many Americans the travel costs and accommodation costs are too high but non-Americans have to pay visa fees too I am not saying it's easy for all Americans though the artist formerly known as melancholia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not blaming anyone but exposing the white space in which Enigma's business model is built upon. I'm used to it because I know my people have been historically excluded and stolen from within the arts and culture epoch. OH MY GOD YOU ACT LIKE ALL WHITE PEOPLE CAN GO. I'M WHITE AND POOR ASF. YOU. DON'T. SEE. ME. COMPLAINING.

Just accept that it’s always harder for international fans. I bet Gaga had more than 10 live shows in Florida. All I’m saying is, you can’t come for international fans complaining about Vegas if you live in the US. I can and will 'cause some of y'all are two slippery slopes away from saying "it's not fair that Gaga won't give free tickets to her true fans! It's white privilege!" (Whatever race has to do with this ) If she were to have a residency in Eastern Europe or Australia, I would not sit here and be mad at her for not making her career choices more convenient for me which is basically what some of y'all are doing. I get that you're bummed about not seeing her, I would be too, but she's the attraction, not us. It's her job to entertain and our's to consume the media and buy tickets to the shows we're able to/want to go to. That's it. For so long she's put her fans first and now y'all are so spoiled by her that the second she decides to do something for herself rather than us, you see it as an attack or unfair. 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borislshere 52,615 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I look at the residency as a tourist attraction like Disney world, universal studios, six flags etc. They're all located in one specific place for a long period of time and not everyone will be able to afford to go. It's just life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that quote and you trying to push that narrative on me just shows how uncomfortable you are at an ethnic minority discussing race. Enigma, as a business model, is targeted towards a white audience mostly. Because white people historically, particularly in America, are wealthier and more privileged and so would be able to afford Vegas as a result. Enigma represents the culture, a space which has historically been privileged for white people, and that is my core problem with it because the way it's tailored for white people to afford it and not her international fans. I'm not saying there aren't rich, privileged ethnic minorities who can afford Enigma, I'm just saying mostly it's her white rich audience who will be the prime consumer of this cultural piece. You say white people are richer... Check out eastern Europe or much of Russia where the people are poorer on average than many Indians or Chinese people the artist formerly known as melancholia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just so tired of hearing all these European LMs talk about how easy it is for Americans to go. I get it. I never said everyone in the US could afford to go in the first place. It’s just, if someone can’t afford to go and it’s because of the flights, I think it’s kind of ignorant to say “Oh and I’m from another state you don’t see me complaining” I get that there can be many obstacles, but there’s always this +1 obstacle for international fans.

That's not how it works and you should know this before going on social media and posting whatever you feel like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you create this thread actually expecting people to agree with your ignorant assumption that Enigma is a "rich white" privilege? All you did was target anyone who expressed their opinion & acted as if what you said was the only right answer. If that's what you want to do, honey, this ain't the right place to do it.

Even when she did come to my country I had to take planes, pay for hotels, taxi, food, because Mexico City is so far away from where I am. and that is OKAY because i'm paying for a luxury such as a pop show, I'm not entitled to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
