I've just been on Datalounge arguing with her fans.
And they get downright nasty when you tell them she's a screeching talentless hasbeen. 🤣
I mean c'mon, she's no Cher or Madonna.
Everyone worships her because they are told to worship her.
shareOh look, another Onan post having a dig at gays. Like there isn’t enough of that shit here already from the homophobes.
For the record, I don’t know any gay people (myself included) who “worship” Beyoncé. I think she’s talented and have no issue with her existence, but if she’s considered a gay icon it’s news to me. Not that I care either way, if someone enjoys an entertainer it’s hardly something I’m going to make them feel bad about. That would make me a miserable old bitch, don’t you agree?
Well check out Datalaounge and you'll find plenty of gay men who consider her a diva, hence my post.
But I represent what is positive and masculine about gay men, and you are the bitchy stereotype.
Huh? I love having these discussions on culture with my gay bros. And most of them never take offense like you. So who's the "miserable old bitch"? Lol. I never even use such language.
Yes, many consider Beyonce a diva.
Fierce, Fabulous, and In/Famous: Beyoncé as Black Diva
This article explores how the notion of the diva positions
Beyoncé’s star image within a larger tradition of black female
superstardom at three different levels: (1) Beyoncé’s performances
as black divas from the past, such as Tina Turner and Diana Ross;
(2) Beyoncé’s challenging of the conventional definition of the
diva in her 2009 “Diva” music video; and (3) Beyoncé’s assumed
status as a gay icon

Mate you seem about as masculine as Leslie Jordan in a kimono to me, to be honest.
shareJust admit you were wrong about Beyonce.
shareWrong about what? That she doesn’t bother me? She really doesn’t.
Or do you mean that it’s news to me that she’s considered a gay icon? Again, that’s true. I didn’t say she wasn’t, just that I’d never heard that before, or that I care either way.
By the way, I love how you profess to “never even use such language” after using precisely that language about Beyoncé in the title of your thread. Consistency is they key bro!
Oh jeezus. If you don't know the difference between having a civil discussion on a message board, and critiquing a celebrity, I can't help you.
shareTo be fair, you'd have to possess a mental deficiency (i.e, gayness) to find her (and/or the horrible 'image' associated) remotely tolerable?
She looks like a man in a dress...So it would make sense that a (literally, non-productive) subsection of society would like her?
a (literally, non-productive) subsection of society
It was like the camera loved her.
shareMadonna and Cher are better and have more good song's, but credit where it's due 'Crazy In Love' is excellent.
Quite like the original by the Chi Lites to

Hmmm, she ripped off the opening riff.
Dude, this is why I have utter contempt for the woman, not that she actually writes any of her own music.
Fair enough, but you'll obviously have to reject Madonna to then because she doesn't writer most of her own music and uses sampling.
Nile Rogers of Chic was responsible for hits such as 'Like a Virgin' and 'Hung Up' steals the riff from ABBA 'Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie'
I've never taken Madonna's music seriously. However, she is an important cultural force, unlike Beyonce.
Someone on Datalounge quoted this line from Vanity Fair:
“Beyoncé is less pop star or musician or even icon, at this point, than she is a belief system,”
Can't argue with that
