Discussion: Why is Beyonce so polarizing in ATRL?

This thread strikes me as one of those "fishing for compliments" type of scenarios. Like when you're around one of your girlfriends and one of them says, "I'm so fat" and then that's everyone's cue to jump in and be like, oh you look amazing. I'd kill for your this, that, or the other. " Wah, why is Bey such a target on a pop Stan forum?" Then all Stan's jump in sing her praises and talk about how everyone else is just pressed.

I dont think she is polarizing on ATRL. Gaga is the most polarizing popstar on here. Its just fun to rag on Beyonces flaws because she doesnt have many. Its fun to burst the perfection image that she & her fans believe in by poking fun at her flop singles, writing credits & other plagiarized visual concepts, ugly pics like the SB, & her dumb quotes. I would say she is the most polarizing on black forums though but not on here.

I wouldn't say she's polarizing and I don't hate her but she strikes me as being fake and manufactured.

I do care about animals but i meant who would start hating her guts if she wore lets say fur jacket when: 1. she didnt say shes proud to wear a carcass 2. her team decided it would look nice and made her do it 3. it may be synthetic fur

I just think it's odd when someone says they like an artist because they like their personality.
It's like saying that someone makes the best hamburgers because that person is the cutest, nicest and most relatable cook in the world to you. Or not liking a hamburger because you don't like the cook as a person, even though that hamburger is always flawless. It's admitting from the start that your opinion is based on something unrelated to what you're actually rating.

But I didn't say nothing about her music. I won't even deny that I listen to some of her song, and I recognized her talent.

I don't think she's polarizing. I think her stanbase doesn't allow her to be scrutinized but they will attack other stanbases if they don't like everything she does. Beyonce isn't perfect and she will be picked apart because she is a PUBLIC figure. It's just the nature of the game.
It's so funny because I was at a barbecue over the 4th of July and there were two Beyonce stans that we were playing spades with..I didn't know the other girl was a stan..and I asked her does she like Beyonce and she was like "Yes. She can do no wrong"..and I promise you, all of us(including the other stan) looked at her like It was so funny.

Because everyone on this site has haters and Beyoncé is no exception, for whatever reason people wanna hate on someone they don't know and who doesn't affect their everyday life.

Ya, sorry, I was more so elaborating at what you said than directing it at you because there are a lot of people who say they don't like her based on her personality (or lack thereof).

I've already said multiple times that I don't hate her, she's never done anything bad to me personally, I just dislike some of the stuff she wears. If the fur is synthetic then that's great but I was particularly referring to her Superbowl outfit which was made out of python and iguana skin and also the shoes she wears which are made out of FIVE different species of animals - crocodile, ostrich, anaconda, stingray and sheep. All those animals killed just for the sake of 'fashion' when perfectly suitable synthetic materials could have been used, it's disgusting.

Oh, this is about ATRL. I missed the last part of the title on my phone. She's polarizing on ATRL b/c she doesn't make cute, fun pop music for young girls.

Most of the people who are Beyonce trolls don't hate her. They hate her stans.

Thats the thing here. A lot of people have diametrically opposite tastes and interests and its on-line anonymity so when you see someone you dislike for whatever reason say something that bugs you, you are going to come for the thing they hold dear to try and move their feelings even tho it's dumb and childish but its internet so yeah. And in 5 mins you will forget what you said and turn up that same artist's songs that you insulted and pop that good ***** to their ****

But you act like a typical overly defensive Beyonce stan when it comes to the first person in your signature so lol.

Do you expect everyone to like your fave just because you do?

This is a pop music forum with lots of different people,of course personalities are gonna clash sometimes,its all fun and everybody moves on with their lifes,as to bey she portrays somewhat of a picture perfect life which sometimes provoke people to nitpick every little thing she does.Its something childish we do here on daily basis with every popstar.The majority of the people love her/respect her,the other ones dont really care.

Every celebrity gets haters, Should Beyoncé be immune or something? Does she really deserve 100% praise and ZERO hate?
Why should she, and Not MJ? Or Whitney? Or any other singer?
