How do you feel about open hostility towards artists?

I think they have the right to bash to some extent. we have to admit we all do it ! lol Maybe not on thsi forum but we probably did it soemtime in our lifee. Its normal not to like an artist and to add ur opinion in to it! Just don't go overboard with it =)! Everyone deserves an opinion even if u don't like the artist. But like going on an Ayu forum and calling Ayumi a b**** or sl*t doesn't really show anything.... or gonig to a kuu thread and saying she's a b**** is kinda weird o_O! lol If you don't like the song and u say it sucks or if u don't like the artist and state it thats ok. Just keep it within the limit =)!

Well I won't deny that I've had my share of times where I openly bashed artists (not on here though I don't think) mercilessly <.<...But I'm getting better about it as time goes on. I will agree that it is rude and uncalled for at times -even judgemental (especially if you don't have the proof). I see where you're coming from and I sometimes can't help but get slightly offended when someone just rips and attacks my favorite artists. I mean, I know everyone is entitled to have their opinion but sometimes it gets out of hand after awhile. So with that in mind, I'm starting to try and be more considerate with stuff like this. In other words, 'treat others the way you'd want to be treated' in a vague sort of sense if you get what I mean xD!

But I think you'd ('you' as in everyone in general) would be lying if you said you had never bashed an artist in your lifetime
