ImpressMeMuch Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Do I think it was all that necessary? no is this even close to the first time the banner has been deeply unserious? also no 2

Like these people are acting DUMB on purpose at this point NO ONE is saying that Katy shouldn't be dragged by non-mods, we're questing the precedent this sets. It's all fun and games because Katy is an easy target for rightful dragging but why on earth are the mods getting on in it to the extent of making a whole damn banner. A line has been crossed, and while I get it, moderating is unpaid, lots of work and mods deserve respect for the work they do, there's rightful criticism here that needs to be taken into consideration. 2
TayDuaStan Posted September 24 Posted September 24 (edited) Because: 1. she worked with an alleged r****t 2. the music is downright TRASH 3. it's iconic to witness the worst reviewed female album of old time 4. because as of late katycats have been continuously dragging other female artists unprovoked (Gaga, Taylor & Kesha mainly) You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes Edited September 24 by TayDuaStan 3 1

Album Leak Posted September 24 Posted September 24 52 minutes ago, AxelFox said: Most people who were dissapointed by her choice of collaborators have expressed so in the beggining and then moved on. But KATY PERRY DIDN'T MOVE ON, she still released the album, r*pist warts and all. Thus the foot remains on her neck. What's so hard to understand? 1
ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted September 24 ATRL Administrator Posted September 24 44 minutes ago, lonnie said: I think there should be general neutrality with such things. That was very unnecessary and they probably wouldn't have done it with the other faves of the forum, and even though I'm not a Katy fan that's unfair and Katy stans shouldn't be treated any differently than any others on the forum. Katy fans aren’t being mistreated. Please.
CocoPouf Posted September 24 Posted September 24 But this is a general rule in ATRL: gay males trashing white female acts for "fun" because it is a "pop forum". Yet when we point out the hypocrisy of it all, we get a warning. And before a MOD tries to come to me: surprise, I am a gay male individual. While Katy is obviously in the wrong for working with Dr. Luke, the social warriors here decided to drag her work not because of Luke, but because they have an opportunity to drag a female singer. If it was for Luke, Kesha's comeback would be successful, no?

I think the banner was biased, and I say this with lots of respect for the work that you and the other mods do. If a Katy stan notices it and brings it to your attention then I think y'all should at the very least consider it without being snide just as much as you should with any other stan. I'm not a Katy fan (and as a few others have mentioned too) but I noticed it too. There's no reason to put up a banner like that at all, and while it's not mistreatment or abuse, it's biased.

I appreciate that you respect the work we do. This is no different than any of the other important moments in pop culture we’ve highlighted since we started changing up the banners. Whether it was Trump getting arrested, or the plane logo we did when Taylor was polluting the earth in her plane — it’s not serious or mean spirited. And we don’t have to be unbiased when it comes to promotion. 5 1
MonsterNavy Posted September 24 Posted September 24 you see all the respected and huge publication sites trashing and high key bullying katy with reviews but you draw the line over a banner on a pop music forum? 5

That does give more context to the situation as I thought it was the first time it had happened.

iHype. Posted September 24 Posted September 24 1 hour ago, Big Bad Wolf said: The entire country is panning Katy Perry. Singling out low hanging fruit ATRL which has little to no influence meanwhile every major news outlet is dragging her to filth is misguided anger. Blame Katy for her lack of intelligence. Anyone with a brain could've told her working with Luke would get her dragged to hell & back. She's always been a critic's punching bag. She needed to work against that, not in favor of it. She did this to herself. …That makes sense, people would question ATRL's behavior on the forum ATRL.net Obviously singling out any other outlet on this forum doesn't make anymore sense. As said, it's beating a dead horse at this point. People already brought up moderators can't control the user's opinions but influencing them to further attack a pop girl is messy. Also, she made a dumb mistake of working with him but at what point do you not let her move forward and learn? You're going to drag her everyday for months straight and refuse to let up for simply working with someone? Gay men are attacking Katy, a woman who worked with Luke, more than they are attacking Luke himself This idea of (gay) men attacking women the most for men's actions being standing in solidarity is so hilarious. Every pop girl has associated themself with questionable men in the industry because it's plagued with questionable men. However channeling all your anger to them instead of the actual questionable men just becomes counter productive tbh, *especially* when it's not because many feel genuinely concerned but rather because they are focused on stan feuds. Only having energy on sexual assault when it's a pop female that was a rival of your fave is not some honorable action, especially when they go back to streaming all Dr. Luke's old hits & Doja music right after.
Bhabylon Posted September 24 Posted September 24 It's what she deserves for working with Luke and it's what the Kats deserve for the **** they say about Kesha go cry elsewhere 2 2
Digitalism Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Atrl and the mods are not objective. This is not new. They are human tho so it's expected. In a forum that it's mostly monsters and swifties of course something like this will happen
John Slayne Posted September 24 Posted September 24 people saying an ATRL banner making fun of a mainstream artist's MC score is 'bullying' really need to touch grass. i highly doubt katy perry is losing sleep over ATRL banners like some of y'all. be serious 2

WERKER Posted September 24 Posted September 24 I got downvoted to oblivion for saying it was distasteful ATRL itself should not show bias
