Ok, enough is enough.
This is just ridiculous at this point. I understand and sympathize with Gaga and everyone else in LA who has been affected by the fires. And I suspect that we probably would've gotten the album announcement today if the fires hadn't happened. But as others have pointed out on other forums, this wouldn't be an issue if she had announced it within a normal timeframe like most other artists. Even just telling us when she's going to be making the announcement like Beyonce did would be better than this. I'm not sure who on her team thinks this silent treatment is a good idea, but it's just not. Gaga and co., I urge you to reconsider your marketing strategy and start being more transparent with the fanbase, because I feel we deserve better than this. Downvote me to hell for being "nEGaTiVE uWu", I couldn't care less. I'm allowed to speak my mind, even if it isn't positive. When you accept nothing but positivity, that is what we call toxic positivity. There's a time when it's acceptable to become frustrated and speak those frustrations aloud. Get a damn grip.
