RE: My Promo-Mentors Writing Challenge: The Monster Pit (Poetry)
I'm not sure, but it seems that she only wore fake-fur, but that is not confirmed. Either way, you do understand what I mean. It's not that she said that in a very disrespectful way like you portrayed it. It doesn't make it right, no matter what justification she uses. And yeah, PETA are the worst enemy to veganism. It's twisted. If you can link me to your post i'll be glad to read!
Just went back and read her full press release on the matter while it is not as harsh as I said it is still in a similar vein. She admits that one of the reasons she does not or did not have skinned fur is that she could not ever afford a good one , she also says that she probably could not resist a beautiful work of art. There were people in the tried reich who could not resist the lampshades made of human skin ,,,I find the whole thing repulsive. And yes she has done a lot for the LGBTQIA community but that does not absolve her of what she is promoting here. She asks for her opinion to be respected but I refuse to respect any opinion in which human or non human is made to suffer and tortured. A person's freedom stops at another's skin pure and simple. Also Cindy Lauper has done way more with her money and with her foundation then Gaga it just does not get promoted as much. I am not saying that gaga should not be commended for the good stuff she does but she also should not get a free pass for the inexcusable thing she is asking to be left alone to do. as for the Peta thing it is a video I made watch if you have time I really hate them they have hurt so many animals and all with money people donated to help them :( https://steemit.com/politics/@tygertyger/09hglu44
Yeah, we agree. I'm sure by now she could afford any kind of thing that she wanted, so I'm sure it's beyond the finances. For me, it's more personal than just her activism. When I was depressed, she was the only thing that kept me going. It sounds very shallow; yet it's true. She taught me a lot and helped me grow - and I may disagree with her on certain topics, but I can never not respect her for those things she had done (the positive ones). You feel me? Gonna check it out now
I can appreciate that she gave you something to cling to and it is ok to be thankful for that , just if she proves to still be doing it let her know how it makes you feel as well. fans like you made her too you know ...
There are plenty of other fans that to voice when they're upset. Unfortunately, I don't think I have enough voice - I mean, whenever I said something directed to her, I don't think it ever got acknowledged or arrived :P But yeah, definitely, if something happens, veganism is my priority.
