Then when that didn't happen you guys ran with her 'touring power' from her past eras and decided that she was gonna do at least $200m with this tour based on her past touring power. Well, since that's not happening either, idk what card you guys wanna play. I guess it's the 'it's an underperforming era, so the tour is bound to underperform too" when just 2 months ago you were claiming "$200mRAVE is COMING"

That's what stans do. You should know that since you're a member on ATRL.
Katy's fans thought all of her songs would go #1, the album would sell more than TD, and she'd win her first Grammy last year. We all hyperbolate our fave's success. Stop acting like it's only Monsters who do it. And stop acting like what a group of fans say and do is in any way representative of the base as a whole. I know several people who have remained level-headed throughout this era, myself included when it came to the tour not grossing as much as her previous tours. How could it when it's shorter and she's not playing as big of arenas?
It appears the people who hate Gaga hold her to a very similar standard as her stans, which says a lot.
