htrllllsem 14 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 90% of the people that throw hate Gaga's way on twitter and video comments, blog comments, and forums are probably Gay pop fans. so I'd say it's not very gay of her. hate is not gay or straight. Wanting kindness is not either. You took it too literal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 9,227 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Rihanna. The point I'm trying to make is that she needs to stop being passive aggressive. Like when she said NOTHING during the whole Osbourne fiasco. lol! Rihanna just attacks fans who attack her, she doesn't give a sh!t about them being more compassionate to each other. And Gaga obviously learned from the Osbourne fiasco, which is why she has scolded her fans many times since then for not showing the Osbournes any mercy. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro 8,438 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 I don't agree with statements like "you can't change bad behavior on the internet". It's similar to historic arguments like "you can't get rid of racism in the south" or "you'll never get soldiers to accept gays" or "women will never be equals in the boardroom" or "my one vote won't determine the election" etc. I struggled with this concept when I became old enough to vote, because I've never heard of an election being decided by a single vote, so I knew that if I personally did not vote, it would not change anything. My vote, by itself, does not matter. And yet, if everyone took that same lazy and selfish view as me, it really would matter. Even if you are only 1 person, you have to act as if you were a million, because in a very real sense you are. If just 1 of us can stand up to internet hate, then a million of us can, and it WILL change! I predict a future were either Twitter no longer allows users to be anonymous, or Twitter will be replaced by something else. Just like Facebook replaced MySpace because MySpace became too much of a hot mess. I also predict that Twitter will have a system where users have to prove they can tweet responsibility for a period of time before their tweets can be seen by the world. Or maybe Twitter just bans people who can't tweet responsibly. Change is coming, an me and my million others are going to be a part of it! Just like how YouTube did with Google+? They partially did it to make the comment system better. It made it better (imo) because most of the users weren't anonymous. I wouldn't agree it should be the same with Twitter, but I do think they should ban them more often. Proving them they can tweet before it sees the world (although it is a good idea) would take up too much resources for them. Just banning them more often will do it, but for practical reasons.

BangTheGong 310 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I've always thought it was known that fan wars are light hearted in nature... When a fan is saying "drag her by her hair" they don't actually want a violent end, the fan simply wants the artist to stand by their word and disprove the oppositions reasoning. If you guys pay attention to sports or politics I think the nature of rebuttal by commentators is actually a lot worse (sports fanatics can be especially vicious). When people say something like "go die" they actually mean for them to disappear or to stop making music, and usually the person was provoked to make such a statement. Yeah I guess I'm trying to say that we shouldn't take fan language so seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titzlol 607 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I like this!

Ambrosia 3,775 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 This Yeah, and for the record, I was making fun of myself, not anyone else. I came back to go through this thread and I was like, whoa! Blown out of proportion per usual. I need to simply stick to music threads and blogs.

aaronyoji 2,007 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 instead of justifying the terrible things we say/do on the internet by saying nothing will change, how about we just not post something terrible???? like is it really that hard to just not upset people....the change begins with us.

It's just rationalization for bad behavior. And bull**** on being "provoked" to make a statement… stars get told to "die" many times on twitter for nothing more than doing what they do.
