We have to be fair and balanced with both. I think I usually am, but it can't be said for everyone I guess. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

sampool 5,560 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The forced-Positivity with some is extremely cringeworthy. Baby you’re not getting a cookie for posting the tiring, already debunked phrase “we’re in the middle of a pandemic, what can she do?!!!1!1!”. How about taking notes from Dua and Katy for a starter?

I’m not keeping up with what everyone is saying about Gaga’s absence, but my personal take on it is that she made a conscious decision to take a step back and deplatform herself completely to help with BLM. If thats the right thing to do or if its the best thing for her is not for me or any of us to say, really. If its what she feels is right, then I fully respect that. I love her commitment and she is the only one of her contemporaries who truly seems to realise what being and ally entails. Yes, there are other ways to be an ally and maybe halting promo doesn’t have anything to do with it, but this is how she’s making sense of the situation and accepting that isn’t “forced positivity”. Personally, I stand behind her completely in this situation because I feel that she is genuinely extremely compassionate and probably very self critical about promotion in times like these. I just hope she doesn’t beat herself up too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense now because of how much info we got about how she has pre-recorded videos and photoshoots and alternative songs sitting in the vault for what? And everyone is talking about her mental heath despite how she said this album healed her? What are we supposed to believe? Lol. She didn’t say the album healed her fully. Having a chronic mental health condition is not something that just disappears because you love making music. There are things that heal you and pull you back to Earth for a moment and you feel better for a period of time but that never means you’re cured completely. Thats the whole point of Chromatica and personally why its so important to me; healing is a constant struggle and effort that requires immense strength with knowing that you may never go back to “normal,” whatever that means. But you accept that you’re doing your best and that you deserve to be alive and experience love and happiness like everybody else despite your difficulties. Sorry for the essay girl I’m just passionate about this ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally what is she doing for BLM other than letting organizations take over her ig stories? It's great, don't get me wrong. But that alone is not effective at ALL to the cause. It's pretty much useless, even though she's showing us her heart is in the right place. It doesn't make sense. Actually, keeping up w her music, which is why people reach out to her in the first place, while STILL advocating for BLM would bring 1000x more attention to the cause. Unfortunatelly, her silence doesn't make more sense if we say it's out of respect for BLM. She's LITERALLY the ONLY celebrity that's muted in this context. Why? It's not like she'll get backlash (she'd be the last person to recieve backlash after all she's done and still doing for covid and blm, which is more than what a lot of celebs did). Everyone keeps going and celebrating their art and music while still advocating for the cause. So that leads to believe there's something else going on bts, which hopefully is not a bad thing am i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-p-plastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
