And again, it's one thing to complain and compare to other stars when it seems like Gaga isn't doing anything. However, as we know now from one of her team members, they were working on this VMAs performance since February, she's been doing Haus Labs work, apparently shot MVs, performances and photoshoots (just waiting for the right time I guess), all while balancing her physical and emotional health. One can complain about not having much content when an album was just released, but it becomes a problem when they trash her whole team and seemingly don't want to try to understand beyond their desires. OP just feels too general and too dictating, I'm the one who's always pro-team, who loves Chromatica, understands her health problems, but yes I also don't like some little things, OP just felt preachy and that I'm the worst fan in the world and I need to close my account, sell my CDs and get the f-ck out of the LM fan base. These kind of posts also pictures OP as the best fan in the world, but it's sufficient to do a quick search to see that they are exactly them same fans that they are talking about, because we are all are, we are humans and we can be negative sometimes, sometimes we can cross the line a bit, we can disrespect, it's human and it's ok. It's just a reaction grabbing kind of post at the end. Come on and wrap that blade of grass around my hairy ass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about those who don't know what being a fan is, those who are constantly negative, disrespectful to her and looking for reasons to tear her or her work down. There's a very fine line between criticism and bashing and the OP hopes to address that elaborately 2. I felt the need to vent and so I did. It came out long because I wanted to individually address them as and when they happened but had my posting privileges revoked so couldn't. That's why I put the disclaimer on top. Sorry not sorry! I understand the OP. My post was very succinct and not meant to attack anyone or their opinion. What I'm saying is that what is seen online is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Gaga fans. So to me she doesn't deserve better fans, the focus just shouldn't be on the bad apples. But that is almost impossible because not every fan is represented online. It will always be out of balance. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously don't understand though why you're feeling *this* offended personally when I clearly stated before that this isn't attack on anyone in particular but a certain section of the fanbase. If you are not in it, you clearly have no reason to feel offended. No? Have a good rest of your day "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends.

donatellab 2,476 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Most of the users sounds so entitled and like she owes them something, and sometimes act like what Gaga does is so easy, and that they could’ve done everything million times better than her and her team. When in reality, they have no idea how much hard work they put in, and could never come close to her level. It’s easy to comment on others’ flaws, and completely ignore your own. The VMAs being the latest example, most of us didn’t even hope for a medley, yet we got an awesome performance, and most of the comments were negative, and people were complaining over everything, instead of being happy that she’s back. Those spoiled brats are never happy, and i feel like she can’t do anything to "fulfill their expectations" or whatever. Glad to see you back, we missed you!

Have a good rest of your day that's the point I'm not offended, I have nothing to be offend about about because I'm doing my best to be supportive and positive as much as I can, I'm just trying to explain the big picture and that these kind of posts are not helping and are not correct. I'm 31 years old, I passed the fan wars and fan behavior long time ago, I'm more trying to find reasoning in what you're saying, because it can actually offend other people.

It's just that the noise and the negativity becomes overwhelming and drowns out all the good stuff that is supposed to prevail. I mean better fans in the sense of, "Here's this extremely kind and compassionate woman who has devoted her life to the happiness of others through her music and her art and there's still a (considerable) section of the fanbase who sends nothing but hatred and vitriol her way. Maybe a little empathy, compassion and gratitude could go a long way" Of course there are a good number of fans who are respectful, appreciative and kind. The negativity is less here and more on other platforms but it's still ugly and out of all the artists out there, Lady Gaga doesn't deserve it.

Suuus 5,632 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 1 hour ago, River said: you can't expect the fans to be "yes men" and agree with everything and follow her like sheep. People have opinions, as long as it's respectful, there's nothing wrong with that, if you can't handle it, turn off your router and stay away from the internet. We are thousands of LMs you can expect everyone to like the same songs, same videos, same outfits. Stop dictating opinions and feelings! The op literally said that you dont have to like everything she does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn MonHoe 9,731 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I know that in the past we have vehemently disagreed with each other regarding our politics (let’s be real, it might happen again in the future), but it looks like our views on LM’s and Gaga are the same. If someone read the entire OP then I don’t understand how you could be offended at it, unless you’re one of the people that they are referring to People need to learn how to be more respectful with their criticisms, understanding of Gaga’s mindset and stop being hypocrites. That’s the main message that the OP was conveying. Just because someone can have opinions doesn’t automatically make their opinions valid. If they’re toxic or hateful then keep them to yourself or you can expect people to comment on them... especially on Gaga’s biggest fan site in the entire world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suuus 5,632 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 45 minutes ago, Marjol said: I guess, but it's what you focus on. I have about 8 really close friends that are Gaga stans that met her, go to every tour and they never go online to talk about her. The only Gaga negativity I find is on here. But we shouldn't forget this is a forum, build for discussion and that means different opinions are expressed. We are putting Gaga under a microscope, obsessed as we are. It's an unrealistic view, but something you can never really change. People usually grow out of it fortunately. You are blessed to have never seen the mess that is the Twitter stans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
