  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

focus on your own contributions to society miss mother Theresa. 

No, I'm going to keep holding her accountable for a choice she has made. Whilst you delude yourself into thinking you're not being overtly hypocritical. Beyoncé has stood in front of a giant screen that said FEMINIST and dressed her dancers up as black panthers, but you're going to sit there and pretend like she hasn't been extremely vocal about politics?

 

Heaven forbid she follows through with support for the LGBTQ+ community, after dedicating her current album to it.

 

Keep bootlicking.

Nobody is saying she needs to be standing up and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights in the country. We're saying it's hypocritical that she's going to a country where homosexuality is criminalised, to perform for the wealthy elite, whilst in the middle of an era dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community.

 

It's absolutely trash behaviour and saying "get your money BEYONCEEEE" and "she's not a politician, she can do what she wants" are trash takes. Not to mention the straight up gaslighting of those of us who are unhappy that she's made this choice.

 

Beyoncé has made a career about making political choices, fighting for racial and gender equality and this fan base have been loud in their support for her of that. But now suddenly we shouldn't be calling her out for this hypocrisy because she's "not a politician"? :rip:

She’s not being hypocritical really though. Y’all are acting like she’s meeting with the head of state for dinner or something like that and it’s just not like that at all :priceless:

Also, theres somewhat a slight sense of sensation I feel dragging Bey for her life and making sure her legacy falls apart. Its the idea that people like her feel like they are untouchable in their position and when they truly fall, they eat the most delicious humble-pie. It would indeed make me laugh. Let me get my crystals ready for my 2023 wishes

I just feel like if we’re going to call a spade a spade on human rights and ethics, then let’s do it across the board and not stop and start with LGBTQ.  And after we’re done, let’s see what’s left.

When Miss Lovett was lashed by Kimberly point 4 point she was “done” with the conversation. 
 

only to come back pages later arguing the same tired points. 
 

until someone explains why it was fine for Dua, Gags, Kylie, Madonna, Diana etc to perform there…their fumes are DOA :alexz2:

 

I best not catch Lovett and the moral higher ground hive discussing any footage or pics from this event. Since it goes against everything they hold near n dear. :alexz2:

The fact this all stems from Hive members emailing the resort to verify :deadbanana4: Like, we've been so deprived of new content this has kept the base crazy active for days now

The irony is, you guys are the ones being hypocrites and you're so blinded by your obsession that you can't even see it. Bootlicking at its finest.

No, you're just making straw man arguments because you can't deal with the reality of what I'm actually saying. She has dedicated an album to the LGBTQ+ community and her gay uncle. During that era she has now made the decision to do the first performance of that era in a country that criminalises homosexuality. That is hypocritical in every way.

Oh no, I was "done" with the conversation because the same ones of you were spouting the same hypocrisy over and over and I was tired of seeing the people that I thought actually cared about minorities being as trash as the fan bases we lash on this forum.

 

Nobody has said it was fine for any of those artists to do it, but I'm not a god damn Kylie Minogue stan so why am I going to be discussing her in a thread about my actual fave.

 

Unlike you, I'm not a raging hypocrite who throws my morals out of the window to bootlick. So don't worry, I won't be celebrating footage from this.

Oh well!  You disagree.  
 

The difference is I’m not denying being a part of a system that even puts a billionaire pop star in a position to land a $24 million paycheck at a private event, in the first place.  
 

Guys, naunce exists in the world. Life is not zero sum, you can't be boil down the conversation to capitalist or not :rip:

Like America in 1850 and America in 2022 are both capitalist nations. But in one of these years racial segreggation is legal, in the other it is not. In one of these years gay marriage is legal, in another it is not. You can exist in a capitalist state, support a capitalist state and still hold and fight for values within that state and system. Society would be nowhere if purity was required to have an opinion and be critical of something. 

Truly guys, you don't need to try and humble people for having values and drawing lines under things they do/don't support. Beyonce will be fine, I promise you

So, a person who is licking the boots of Beyoncé as opposed to holding her accountable for a hypocritical decision she has made. "Yes Beyoncé, whatever you say Beyoncé!"

Being done at that time and yet clocking your hypocrisy now isn't contradictory. But hey, formulating a coherent argument clearly isn't your strong suit.

I wonder if the keri hilson base has to suffer through this type of turmoil

I just can’t take anyone seriously vehemently calling people bootlickers over human rights while parading an avatar from a VOGUE shoot.  
 

VOGUE is a billboard for the exploitation of women and children being exploited in the fashion industry down to the supply chain of farmers growing cotton, forced labor conditions, etc.

 

So, if we’re gonna shake the table, let’s shake it for real.

 

Or keep the fake outrage on the playground.

Oh dear, the MAGA cultists have turned up. This is literally like when they tell people to get out of the country if they have any issues. :skull: We can love Bey and hold her accountable when she makes bad decisions.

 

If you want to bootlick her, go right ahead, but I'm not going to unstan a woman I've loved for two decades because she's made a bad decision. Get a grip.

You have been kissing her ass for years and aggressively attacking anyone that drags her so it’s rich coming from you trying to say I’m bootlicking over this Dubai concert. :skull: You can have a discussion, but not attack members but I guess that’s tough for some of you. Trying to force your opinion that we should all be outraged over this is ridiculous. 

 

Fact is, it’s not just one decision, she has made plenty of bad decisions, maybe some of you just can’t accept it and others have.

The thing I think is funny is that if we criticize Bey for doing something worthy of criticism, y’all say “touch grass!” “Get a job!” “No one cares!” Yet when we praise her and talk about how amazing she is, that is considered a productive use of time and not a sign that the commenter is unemployed. :rip: 

 

Also some of you need to learn how to correctly use the phrase “performative outrage.” Posting a comment criticizing her for performing Dubai is no different than posting a comment praising her for how much of a slay the Heated outro is. It’s the same thing: Bey does an action, we discuss it and apply a positive or negative feeling to the action and move on. If y’all are gonna call that performative outrage then I’m gonna say y’all are performative loving Renaissance. 

 

OT: release the visuals coward!

most people are out for themselves...this is not a celebrity thing. if you got offered $20, 000 for 1 hour of your work skills...you'd take your ass over there for a free trip & that check. most of us do it far less in our home countries where we have shitty politics of our own. b/c why would I give it up just for you & your cause?

You can’t compare the middle class and poor individuals in this thread to billionaire :hoetenks:. Like hello, some of y’all are living paycheck to paycheck meanwhile Bey could never sell another album, jacket, or concert ticket and remain rich for the rest of her life and have tons of wealth to hand down for generations. The hard truth is that she doesn’t need this money, she doesn’t require it to maintain her standard of living, she’s isn’t going to lose her house, her kids aren’t gonna have to go on food stamps. Now that’s not to say she won’t put the money to “good” use (funding artistic projects, perhaps down the road some kind of charity project) but it’s still anti gay money.

You’re missing the most important part of bootlicking, which is the flattery of an authority figure to gain favor with someone with authority over you as these multiple dictionary definitions state

 

someone who praises or is extremely polite to a more powerful or rich person in a way that is not sincere, usually in order to get an advantage for themselves

 

to try to gain favor with through a servile or obsequious manner

 

a person who praises, helps, or obeys someone in order to gain favors or advantages 

 

now please tell me what authority Beyoncé has over any of us? and how not caring about this stupid argument gains favor with someone who doesn’t know me? Quickly…

When she ends up cancelling because Blue has a ballet recital that day>>>
