What’s the harm in wishing for kindness ON TOP of that? Sis she ain't even wishing for kindness, so I don't know why fans are saying that. Fans claiming she is wishing kindness on twitter will get her dragged more than her actual words. IF she did say that, I would find it cringe. She basically did the equivalent of prayers and good thoughts, which is a bit cringe but not awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said damned if she didn't post and damned if she don't. Why even post it? Cause it is is her account? she doesn't need to ask you or me permission to post or not lol. Then criticism is valid for something she posts 🤷🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ideology stops you from thinking that prayers are useless, then please go ahead. I humbly refuse to take part in this pessimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not like Ukraine is falling behind because of lack of money in fighting against Russia. The Ukrainian president has made it very clear that financial aids are not the thing that he primarily wants. They already have it coming. It's arms and troops they are kacking. Again, I'm not saying donations aren't necessary at all. They are the most we can do as civilians. So he asked for thoughts&prayers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and criticize her. It's just that some people give too much stock to what celebrities say as if they have the power to solve the issue through a post in social media. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could have condemned Putin and no one would be saying all these about that, even though that is just as empty. What you say and how you say it matters when you have millions of followers, no matter if it'll be useful or not. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

I humbly refuse to take part in this pessimism. It’s just reality. How have thoughts and prayers helped any other crisis? The gun problem in America? The slavery crisis happening around the globe? Global pandemics? World hunger? when will we stop avoiding these things and stand up against the bad in the world? If I’m a pessimist, I’d rather live in reality than leave it up to God.

I humbly refuse to take part in this pessimism. Also I don't even understand why people are acting like she said something like love and kindness will solve the world. Gaga didn't even say that! If she did, I'd at least get dragging her a bit. People are reading way too much into her words. At worst, it's somewhat cringe (the heart bit), but as you said a lot of people believe in prayer. No one rational is going to get angry at a celeb saying she's praying for Ukraine. Granted, some people might cherry pick and focus on the "smiles" bit as fans are already doing that, ignore the prayer bit, and act like all she said was smiles....which would unfair but lets be honest the outrage machine often does twist stuff.

Chlorine 47,976 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I think she just wanted to post a nice selfie for the SAG awards but since she didn't mention Ukraine yet, had to shoehorn it in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voting, educating myself, donating when financially able to, spreading awareness, unlearning behaviors, not avoiding hard topics, conversing and debating… I’m also not a wealthy popular celebrity/politician so I’m limited in what I can do.

Do you think she would be tweeting a well thought out comment and be on her phone while she is at a party/awards show. I couldn't even call my parents or text them while I'm out partying and imagine someone expects you to do homework and do research so you can post your red carpet look while at an awards show. She may or may not talk about it in future tweets but she doesn't have to. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
