Alive 1 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Just because someone (especially a celebrity) doesn't tweet their genuine or ungenuine concern over every single tragedy that happens currently, doesn't mean they don't care. It really bugs me that people are making a big deal about it I mean, I haven't heard a tweet from Katy Perry about it and nobody is ragging on her....

Morina 0 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Celebs are held to a different standard. I do think she should have at least mentioned the shooting, but Im not gonna dog her for not doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 7,899 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Celebs are held to a different standard. I do think she should have at least mentioned the shooting, but Im not gonna dog her for not doing so. This is really interesting. No shade, but does anyone really care what any other celebrity has to say about it? It seems like a lot of people in the fan base watch over Gaga like Hawks, waiting for her to make a move that's not to their standards -- As if we're all her mom and dad with the right to patronize and lecture her on how to behave. Also, should Gaga be acknowledging the innocent civilian Palestinians who are the mercy of the Israeli army. That is just as much of a tragedy, is it not? What difference will it make to publicly acknowledge both or neither. Edited December 16, 2012 by Effigy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogi 1,391 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Lady Gaga â€@ladygaga Thanku for my beautiful suit @RayBrownFashion the stretch velvet combinations summoned the glam gods I felt like a star pic.twitter.com/XtUa9ijk I'm Chloe.

Mason 177 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Everyone and their mother has been posting about the shooting. I think it's pretty clear that EVERYONE feels bad for the children and adults that got killed at that school. I don't need a tweet from her to know that she feels terrible about it.

Nissa 51 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This is really interesting. No shade, but does anyone really care what any other celebrity has to say about it? It seems like a lot of people in the fan base watch over Gaga like Hawks, waiting for her to make a move that's not to their standards -- As if we're all her mom and dad with the right to patronize and lecture her on how to behave. Also, should Gaga be acknowledging the innocent civilian Palestinians who are the mercy of the Israeli army. That is just as much of a tragedy, is it not? What difference will it make to publicly acknowledge both or neither. Exactly. US Drone strikes killing innocent children or Palestinian kids in Gaza being bombed to bits in their homes and at their schools - that's obviously not important because OMG SOMETHING HAPPENED IN AMERICA. Massacres elsewhere (some of which the US is partially responsible for) seem to be out of heart, out of mind. That's true...but I think it would be nice of her to at least acknowledge the situation, since she's such a well known person and has so many followers on Twitter. She doesn't have to go into detail about how she feels, but a simple "RIP to all the victims of the shooting" would be nice... Not even acknowledging something like this comes across as pretty rude to me...... Annually, 13,000 people die from gun-related crimes in the US. They're the only industrialized nation sitting in the TOP 15 of most violent countries in the world (Philippines, Guatemala, Jamaica, etc. etc.) and over a thousand of the deaths listed above contain kids and babies. More than 400 people are shot every single day in the US, and just under a hundred of them die because of it. Would it be "rude" of her not to acknowledge these deaths every single day? Would it be rude of her if she didn't mention the fact that worldwide, 107 people die per minute? Many of them because of starvation, too little or no health care, malaria, being civilians in a country under attack, female genital mutilation, rape/murder, AIDS, drone strikes, domestic violence, tuberculosis, suicide, incurable diseases, pregnancy complications, etc. etc. etc.? The media sensationalized this mass murder (wtf, interviewing children on CNN hours after it happened!) because they were children and especially because they were white children. Didn't someone kill two people in a mall two days before the Newton shooting? Would you be hammering on about Gaga needing to respond to that? Look at how many kids die of gun-related violence every single year. Hopefully you'll start to become more aware of how the media shapes what you think is happening and what is more important than other issues more than you'd like. Obviously Gaga must be very upset about the mass shooting.We know how incredibly kind-hearted, loving and sensitive she is - odds are she's grieving a hell of a lot more than most people. What WOULD be "pretty rude" and also hypocritical is forcing her to express her thoughts about it on Twitter to make you feel better. That's not going to change anything, and she always responds to catastrophe not only with tweets but also with tangible and/or monetary help which is in this case not possible. Disclaimer: I'm heart-broken as well. I've had bouts of crying ever since I first heard the news and today I'm still having them. This is just a post to put things into perspective.
