VoldeLorde2 8,389 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Is it bad that these photos didn’t make me feel any type of way except how happy I was that Gaga won her Oscar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adarsh Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 As if she didn’t work her ass off to reach where she is right now. And before you all say “But her family was rich” think about the fact that her parents were immigrants who worked hard too. The world has problems but we should not shame successful people for living comfortably. It’s their hard earned money.

imnotyourbabe10 5,995 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks for sharing. It's important to recognize privilege each and every day. While it doesn't make life particularly fun, it's crucial to wake up and acknowledge one's social and literal "capital." There are problems in Westernized cultures and underprivileged and under-served communities, to be sure, and this artist is throwing the overall culture back in our face.

PunkTheFunk 121,511 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The photo is meant to show the contrast between the comfortable and overindulgent lifestyles we lead in the West and the horrors of war in the Middle East. On the left you have an injured Syrian boy who appears to be comforting his mother. On the right you have an extremely wealthy woman wearing lavish jewelry, crying because she just won an award. The artist is trying to raise awareness for people affected by war and poverty who don't get nearly as much coverage as the images of wealth and extravagance we are bombarded with through social media. The fact that some of you are taking this as a personal attack on Gaga just shows that you have completely missed the point. 4 hours ago, Adarsh said: As if she didn’t work her ass off to reach where she is right now.

(Unless of course someone is a fraud etc) You can't compare the plight of people in Syria with Gaga and her family "working hard". Also, Gaga's parents were not immigrants. Not even her grandparents were immigrants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but come on. I get that he isn't attacking her personally, but.....this isn't the first time I've seen this sort of thing, and artists ALWAYS use women as the face of "excess" and not Ronaldo's 12 million dollar car or one of the many Saudi princes (who are complicit in so much ish) and so on.
