Why the hate? That group looking for the ark included some very nice people.

What bothers me is her stupid fucking modelesque pose. Bitch, this is not a fashion shoot. That pose was unnecessary.

I’ve read quite a few of your comments. And you seem to be unnecessarily defensive about why you won’t buy this box set, as if people are being forced to buy it at gunpoint. It’s not your thing, that’s fine. However:

Lol, the point people are making is that you are getting all worked up about something you don’t have to buy. You don’t have to like Beyoncé, but you are going out of your way to be upset about this.

You do realize that this is advice you should give to yourself...? Pretending that I am the one criticizing things that other people might like is quite transparent, lol. I’m not even going to condescendingly say “nice try” in response to your own backwards condescension. As I said to you in my other response:

Lol, I’m “hostile” for suggesting that you do things you actually enjoy instead of rant about the worthlessness of things you do not? Ok.

Oh honey, I don’t know why you think your being Black means anything. You are immune from nothing.

It’s always the way. A woman achieves a certain, constantly moving, level of success and then the turn comes. I wonder how long it will be before Tiffany Haddish becomes enemy number 1 around these parts?

There is so much wilful misunderstanding of everything Beyonce does. “Cognitive dissonance” indeed. True personal story, I was wrongfully terminated (got the unemployment ruling to prove it!) and was unemployed for like a year, finally got a job (a great job!) when Formation came out and that lost line spoke to me for…

College Textbooks actually cost the same or more!

“Somehow, I’m betting that the existence of these other expensive items doesn’t rile you up quite as much.”

Gurl, of COURSE you were “waiting for this”.

I’m pretty sure the lyrics are actually: “always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper”.

How is this disrespectful? How are fans entitled to this book at a cheap price, if it’s limited edition, WELL under the price of most large-format coffee table books..... there are 600 pages in it, plus a limited edition Lemonade Vinyl, a download for the film itself, and the album. If we do some math here, the Vinyl…

And she’s “uppity” and “full of herself” and “not that great” anyway “not that important” and “petty” and “trifling” and “disrespectful”. All the coded language comes out on anything Beyonce related. Seriously, I could just scroll through this chain and pull words from posts to add but I’ll run out of editing time.

Not sure if you have ever purchased a coffee table book but they often go for more than this... I don’t have $300 for it but I can’t begrudge anyone who does or her for charging it.

Her point is to not let personal matters distract you from your work/self-improvement. Like how I’m sure Beyonce will not spend any time thinking about people complaining how expensive her box set is and instead enjoy the profits rolling in from it.

No see, that makes too much basic sense and doesn’t serve the narrative that everything Beyonce does is somehow horrible, fake, and different from things that other entertainers do.

I always interpreted it as the best way to get back at people who doubted you and gave you hardship is to focus on your own success.

OH, like T-Swift did with “1989"?
