Instagram, Twitter, Facebook are not real places. I wish people would stop behaving like our livelihoods, rights, freedoms, responsibilities and the fabric of society depend on them. Theyre privately owned companies with their rules and policies and people chose to present themselves in a way thats different from reality based on those guidelines. 

But you have to know that going in. Be discerning.

That’s easy for us to understand since we grew up without it but to under 30’s it IS part of their reality and how they are perceived on there is probably more important than real life at this point. It is also increasingly the main gateway to career opportunities, marketing any business, social interactions… pretty much everything. It’s scary but it’s difficult to avoid nowadays.

I am actually shocked that people are so animated over Madonna's recent Instagram posts.  Yeah, she is drinking out of a dog bowl in her undies but really.... is that not the most Dita thing to do?  Where are people's senses of humor?  Where are people's imaginations?  Where are people's sensibilities?  She is Madonna, not Queen Elizabeth II.  I love it all and am here for it.  I love that she pushes boundaries and never stops creating.  So glad that she did not give up on us all after the Immaculate Collection.   I am glad that she is constantly active.

I don't think its right period to make comments on how other people look on social media, im just saying that not all the meltdowns are haters. There are real fans who are shocked by what she has done to herself I think.

I think a lot of fans feel the same. But there is a type of bitter and twisted fan now that thrives on hating on her. And yes I think writing comments where she can see it or to Ricardo is crossing a line.

I don't follow her on any social networks because I don't have the slightest interest in what she posts (to be honest I don't even have any social networks because I don't care), but I doubt that being a real fan is worshiping or idolizing whatever she does.(given what she publishes later), I am definitely not part of those who insult her because of her age or for what she does, or for how she treats herself even if I don't like it absolutely anymore, I certainly do not recognize anything of the Madonna that I follow from beginnings of her career.I continue to follow her for what she has given me in the past but certainly not for the present.She can do anything she wants but as far as I'm concerned Madonna it was a whole other thing.Surely the people who spend their time on social media insulting are not even worthy of consideration, but these whining posted on instagram make no sense as far as I'm concerned.

Many long term fans feel that way and it doesn’t make you or anyone else less of a fan and that wasn’t what I was saying. But writing hateful comments directly to her, I think only the bitter and twisted could feel that was appropriate.

I’ve been enjoying her recent posts because to me it seems so obvious she is doing anything and everything to push the buttons of all the haters. And I find it hilarious. People are really coming for her now, fans and non fans and I have been a fan for so long so I would much rather put energy into defending her. Perhaps she isn’t living up to some peoples expectations but she’s done absolutely nothing wrong and doesn’t deserve to be ridiculed.

Nah. People have always been hating on her. The only difference now is people are posting it online, cuz they really think their words mean something lol it's actually quite dumb cuz literally no one cares 

If nobody cares why are her staff and she responding to it directly though? I think it’s gotten worse recently, everyone is chiming in including the media and many fans who used to defend her have turned on her as well.

Maybe it’s because a lot of younger people are too young to know that side of Madonna? Its not her most famous era of music and you never hear Erotica singles anywhere. It’s always 80’s stuff, Vogue and 1998 - 2005.

These types of posts are not necessary. If this was directed at another member you would receive a warning, and you are directing it toward the person that this entire forum is dedicated to. Whether she reads it or not.

Hate in any form is not freedom of speech. 

I would argue that criticizing someone’s style or image is not hate. It may be unkind of this member to state that he/she thinks Madonna looks like a fat slob rapper, but unkindness isn’t up for censorship as far as I have understood. Madonna is living her life regardless of anyone’s opinion. If any of us has a negative opinion about Madonna’s choices in image, style, art, or anything else she makes public, surely we have to all accept that form of expression because this is a forum dedicated to a woman who fights for all freedom of expression, and not just the expression that suits her, or you for that matter. I find it dangerous to claim that anything you deem hateful is not freedom of speech.

Oh come off it. This is a Madonna fan forum. Calling her a “fat slob”should be an immediate ban. Those are not the words of a fan nor are they the words of somebody who respects women. It is not “deemed hateful,” it IS hateful. There’s no debate there.

You are certainly able to not like stuff. But alot of people who dislike certain eras (mainly this one) seem to talk in absolutes, as if this era is somehow the one that defines her for life. She's somehow a new person/ will never change again. Since when has she ever been the same? Is True Blue Madonna the same as Erotica Madonna? Is Ray of Light Madonna the same as American Life Madonna? Rebel Heart Madonna isn't even close to Madame X Madonna. And everyone treats her little collabs as if it's MEANT to be taken as an era of it's own. It just baffles me.

Hey You doesn't erase the Confessions era. Love Makes the World Go Round/Jimmy Jimmy doesn't negate Open Your Heart and Papa Dont Preach. and MDNA doesn't erase her entire career. (I know you didn't say these specific things, Im just using them as an example)

When I was a teen I thought her Something to Remember/Evita era lasted for eternity!!!!  It was so boring and slow. I just wanted something to dance to. I thought I'd never see the light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine if she did stay in that era for the rest of time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as I'm concerned I have never spoken in an absolute way (then if someone has done it I don't know because I can't read everything), I can speak for myself, I haven't spoken about decades and moments of her career because each of us has his personal taste, regarding negative comments (I'm not talking about insults) I personally prefer to read a forum where each user expresses his point of view which includes both positive and negative comments.just as I don't think reading negative comments can affect our lives, the same thing for the positive ones, it's a discussion forum,.As far as I'm concerned I've read many times "you don't like what she does unfollow the artist who won't hear yours lack ", i don't think anyone can decide what a person should do.I've read many comments that I have often found childish, and I think more education and respect are needed, in fact I almost never participate in any discussion. Regarding insults, I think that if I'm not interested in an artist I won't go see her nor to comment or insult but I think that a person can easily say if what is proposed today may be liked or not without being told "old fans, you stayed 40 years ago" because what I've always read have been insults to those who think differently.

Honestly, I prefer reading a forum where people express their opinion than reading continuously in each post the copy an paste" this is fantastic i love it amazing , soo sweet  " this is my personal point of view.

I mean in general. People vent their frustrations all the time on social media. At the end of the day their words mean nothing to say, Me. We all just trying to survive. The same could be said of Madonna. That's my opinion anyway.

Well you are lucky you either have a thick skin or have never been a target. Because I see others I know very upset and effected by the bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia etc that is rampant all over social media/the internet. Words can really hurt people. Including celebrities who are not immune to hateful comments.

Sure. But...when you understand how cause and effect works...im literally giving zero fs to some rando online spewing hate. At the end of the day someone is preaching their version of reality. Then it becomes their problem not mine. I just find it amusing that people post comments on her social media thinking she cares. She doesn't. Words do have a powerful affect if you let them in.

I think people have a right to not be bullied or cop abuse on the Internet. Not everyone has the mental strength you do and to expect that is really letting these trolls off the hook.

I also personally believe Madonna does care. It’s all spelled out in Joan of Arc. And on many occasions she has spoken back at trolls and haters. She also has a close staff member addressing it in lengthy essays. People that don’t care usually don’t respond. She’s human and the comments are brutal and excessive.

Yes we are human. And we also have good and bad days. I also have the luxury to delete my social media, this is my only "social" outlet (online). With that being said, I think she was talking more of the critics and peers. Trolls are not critics. I feel like she has been in the industry long enough to know the difference.
