Little Monsters React To Body Shamers After The Super Bowl

The headlines weren't about Gaga's performance, but her body.

This Is Insider

We all saw Lady Gaga's amazing Super Bowl performance. She flew into the stadium from the sky, rocked all her songs and nailed every dance step. The following day, the headlines were not about how well she had performed, but rather about her "stomach flap."

If this is considered "fat," then I must be obese. I love how Lady Gaga wasn't ashamed to move and dance freely in her own body. We all have rolls when we sit down, this is because we are human.

Situations like these are what leads people to have bad images of their own bodies. When someone as tiny as Lady Gaga is being shamed for not being perfectly toned, what is the everyday women or young girl supposed to think of her own, not perfectly toned body?

Twitter users began to attack the artist, but her "little monsters," her fans, came to her defense shutting down the body shamers once and for all. They prided her on being comfortable in her own skin and setting realistic expectations of what a woman's body should look like.

Tweets like these and many more blew up on Twitter following the singer's performance. What's ridiculous is that Lady Gaga is very accepting of all people. You can often find her giving back to the less fortunate or fighting for equal right for all types of people. Why can't people do the same for her?

Regardless, Lady Gaga is a great role model. She wasn't afraid to be completely herself in her own skin. What younger girls should take away from this performance is not that her body isn't perfect and should be shamed, but it should be prided because it isn't perfect. Nobody is perfect, not even celebrities because we are simply all human.

Fans, supporters and viewers of Lady Gaga's performance should take away from it just what Lady Gaga preaches -- you were born this way. There's no reason to body shame yourself or others- especially through a computer screen. It's time we start setting more realistic goals for ourselves and stop comparing ourselves to others. There is enough negativity in the world already, let's start spreading some positivity.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
