Someone quoted me on it and I didn't get to see what they said

Yeah I knew my thread was gonna get deleted, personally feel like deleting these threads is making matters worse.

The US is facing an epidemic in addiction to pain meds and she’s feeding into it, it’s genuinely heartbreaking.

This is where I get frustrated. Criticize big pharma all day, I don’t care about that. But Nurtec is not OxyContin or an addicting pain medication. It’s like super ibuprofen. She’s not shilling out for heroin in pill form and some of you are 10000% making it sound like she is.

Can she just go back to collaborating with technology brands like Apple or something that is innovative. It's cray that her team signed off on this advertisement did they not realise the backlash she'd receive.

Agreed, this is not a cute look. It cheapens her brand so much.

It’s not “super ibuprofen” considering any prescribed medication has the potential for serious side-effects, yet Gaga is posting about it as if it’s this easily accessible and affordable everyday pill. 
 

But that’s not even the issue — the issue is Pfizer is instrumental in buying out politicians that have made access to healthcare, and affordable medication nearly impossible for millions. Especially black and brown Americans. Let alone the fact that Pfizer donates millions to the same politicians actively writing laws targeting the safety of the LGBT+ community.

Remove Gaga and Pharma for a second, and what you have is a very rich, and powerful person projecting medications on their platform for a company that actively works against the people she has used her career to support.

For real though, why aren't we allowed to discuss this 

The threads disappearing is just making things messier lol 

I was wondering the same and I feel we should be able to discuss it here.

But then I thought about how the media often uses GGD as a source for their stories and by doing so often take things out of context. If they delete the threads, media cannot quote fans on GGD like they have in the past. You dont need an account to read this foru.. I think that's why GGD feels threads that criticize Gaga or expose info should be closed to limit damage.

On the other hand, a forum is build to discuss, in this case Gaga, so I would like it to be a place where I can freely and respectfully talk about her career choices.

So crazy how all this things turn out. This criticism is like the first thing i agree about Gaga (and the ChoreographerGate) She’s showing a person that do not resonate with me anymore. Is crazy, I’m a hardcore fan since 2009 i grow up with her but this new context i.. i never imagine something like this was going to happen with her.

Yeah, I’m right there with you and I felt like I had to mourn all those years in a sense. There seems to be no place here for serious discussion, but when you look into Pfizer as a company — as a political aggressor toward those that need the most help — and to see Gaga, who has always championed those who need that help, do this. It stings. 
 

And people on here can get upset with me, or use other celebrities and anecdotes, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about Gaga maintaining this aura that she was the exception. She was THE artist, with a message. That’s hypocritical now when you’re partnering with a company to make them money that they will then in return use against the very people who loved and supported you. 
 

how do people not see this? It’s so clear.
