Comments on: Is Lady Gaga Pushing ‘Twisted, Sexual Fantasies to Children’? http://easygaylife.com/2010/03/is-lady-gaga-pushing-twisted-sexual-fantasies-to-children/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Eric http://easygaylife.com/2010/03/is-lady-gaga-pushing-twisted-sexual-fantasies-to-children/comment-page-1/#comment-98 Eric Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:30:59 +0000 http://easygaylife.com/?p=687#comment-98 Lady Gaga's music is not for kids. I agree with that statement. But how can you say that she is not a role model? She speaks up for what she believes in... and that happens to be gay rights. <blockquote>"She is NOT a role model and clearly doesn’t take it seriously. IF she did, she wouldn’t be throwing imagery around for pure entertainment purpose. Everything I’m saying does not take away from her accomplishments. Surely she is clever, but she needs to get her markets defined, otherwise, then yes, she will get judged as selling twisted sexual fantasies to children, because even though that may/may not be her intention, that’s kind of what has happened. It’s not very responsible (which I GET it’s not her responsibility) but whose responsibility IS it?" </blockquote> I just wish that I could understand why America thinks that a lesbian relationship is a twisted sexual fantasy! Lady Gaga’s music is not for kids. I agree with that statement. But how can you say that she is not a role model? She speaks up for what she believes in… and that happens to be gay rights.

There seems to be a lot of cross marketing with Lady Gaga and these companies are trying to make a buck. But, she's not far from what Peaches does, only Peaches's videos aren't shown on Nickelodeon....see the point? I believe in an artist's creative license but where movies need classification, music videos like LG's should have that too. It's only fair because then parents can make informed decisions about what their kids can watch. No, LG did not create the world we live in but surely she is exploiting it for her own benefit = attention and money (even so she does throw in the art/gay card). We all have to be held accountable for our actions, and LG is old enough to hold her own. She is NOT a role model and clearly doesn't take it seriously.

It's not very responsible (which I GET it's not her responsibility) but whose responsibility IS it? The ones who are benefiting should take the responsibility. It is NOT the parents. It is the record companies and LG. And they won't stop until their cash cow isn't raking in the cash anymore. A kid is happy with clowns and a boy/girl holding hands. WHY would they need to be entertained this way? It is kind of...perverted to show this to children in my opinion. I also think that she could represent the gay community so much more beautifully. She is exploiting stereotypes in this video- Nothing an ignorant hetero doesn't already think about the gay community. I'm so shocked. Now lets actually move on.
