“your leader”

Someone please tell me this isn’t real. I get the joke. I appreciate the joke. I’m amused by the joke. But can we not inflate her already massive ego/messiah complex?

He called her the leader of the Human-rights campaign thing (I really don’t remember, but I know he didn’t mean like the leader of the LGBT community.) 

And she doesn’t have a massive ego/messiah complex what what what are you talking about?

Yea, that’s adorable and all but she does. Like, really does. Which is fine and dandy except for the fact that she would very clearly like to think of herself as “the leader of the gays”. If you don’t think she has some kind of hero complex, then you’re not really paying attention or we’re talking about two different people. This is a woman who constantly asserts herself as some form of hero to the gay rights movement (emphasis here that we’re talking about gay, not LGBT. Yes, there is a huge difference there). This is a woman who said she was writing a ‘gay anthem’….that isn’t how it works.  There’s a beautiful article going around that summarizes exactly why it doesn’t work but the bottom line is this: We choose our anthem. It isn’t chosen for us. 

As for having a large ego; really? You honestly don’t see the big ego on her head? Little tip: Just because someone is good, and sweet (which she generally is, though she’s had plenty of fuck-ups) doesn’t mean they aren’t radiating ego. And it isn’t to say that most of that ego is undeserved. She works her ass off, she should be proud. But this whole “marketing the hell out of myself to the gays because they should love me and accept everything I do because I’m their hero and will save them” thing is getting old. Or have we forgotten her twitter post (I refuse to say ‘tweet’ in this context damn it) about how she (and her fans) “should accept no hatred or criticism” as if A)the two are one and the same or B)that the criticisms applied to her are not completely valid (they are).

She’s a lovely person (usually). Really, I adore most of what she says and does but let’s not delude ourselves here and think she doesn’t enjoy the hero-ing. Which again, isn’t a bad thing until she starts being treated as 

Tl;dr? Ok, she and her fans refer to her as “Mother Monster”.

Think about that for six seconds and tell me it doesn’t have just a teensy bit of ego-tripping involved.

I need to make this clear: I do not hate Lady Gaga. I enjoy her. I appreciate her efforts. What I dislike is how she touts herself as a hero to the gay rights movement, while simultaneously doing some really fucked-up things and, more importantly, failing to recognize any of the criticisms laid against her. That is where I find her ego to be the most obvious: She’s right, end of story. “Accept not criticism and hatred”.

I need to not write this stuff right after I wake up. Especially on such a gross looking day. x.x

Exactly all this.  I have respect for her as a performer (though her music was never my thing, personally), but her ego just got HUGE, it keeps getting bigger, and she and her fans will accept no legit criticism.  Even though one thing you should accept as a performer, and ESPECIALLY if you really want to support the gay community, is criticism.

People- none of this matters.

Lady Gaga has been massively anti-trans in the past. Look up lady gaga cissexism. That horror “born this way” was also racist and there may have been other instances. Whether or not she’s ego-tripping, she’s a bigot and has no right to be “leader” of anything that is supposed to include the very people she’s pissed on.

(which is why it’s appropriate if she’s the leader of the HRC)

“He called her the leader of the human-rights campaign thing (I really don’t remember, but I know he didn’t mean like the leader of the LGBT community).”

Because obviously, 1) the LGBT community isn’t fighting for human rights, they’re fighting for unicorn-shapes cookies, and 2) Lady “I’ll use disability imagery to be edgy” “I’ll appropriate racist slurs despite being white” “I’m thin, white, and cis and don’t have any visible disabilities, but my beauty is totally unconventional because look at all these exotic things I wear! (Some of which I’m appropriating from marginalized cultures)” Gaga is clearly fighting for everyone’s human rights.

Like, it’s even more offensive because saying she’s the leader of the human-rights campaign is implying she’s the leader of the LGBT community and plenty of other communities she’s not even a part of.
