Again, it's a matter of respect and decency, not conforming.

I disagree...I think what pisses people off is that Lady Gaga is *not* conforming to your or other people's view of decency and respect. I feel people should be able to dress in a conforming fashion (jeans, T-shirt, baseball cap, red neck) or non-conforming fashion (such as Lady Gaga's attire), as they wish.

And the whole "if you don't like it, don't look" argument fails when lines are crossed. The mistake people make is thinking they themselves define that line individually, but when you're sharing a world with the rest of society, the lines are drawn by all and are wide enough to be obvious.

The lines...she was within legal lines, I assume, in what she wore? As for social lines about what people should wear, as long as the clothing isn't dangerous (jagged points), then I feel complaining vocally with hostility about what someone else is wearing is MUCH worse than the offending clothing itself. If she wore those pointed breast covers that could gauge out a person's eye, then probably even *I'd* complain!

Yes, I think you are right...she wants people to feel she's unique...though I think she intends the fashion to blend with the music as one whole entity.
