Lana Retweeting Some Questionable Shit

Recommended Posts

lana+2.jpg

 

 

I didn't catch this retweet when it happened, probably because she deleted it 6h later. Anyway, I'm side-eying the fuck out that retweet. We don't know her intent was retweeting it, and it probably isn't any actual endorsement of pedophilia (perhaps it was just a joke, perhaps she just liked the controversial nature of the opinion of her work, perhaps it was a mistake), but regardless, it's in unbelievably poor taste. I'm just glad she or someone else had the sense to delete it.

Receipts here

 

Anyway, I just wanted to share this because it totally escaped my RADAR

and I think it managed to escape others too. My intent is not to make a Lana-bashing thread, but just.... this is really side-eyey and I wanted to share.  :creep:

I think we can all agree that Lana has a fucked up sense of humour. It's like when she replies to peoples hate comments and she calls people "c**ts" or stuff like that.


 


It's like she finds the comment funny because why the fuck would she be pro-pedo? So she's gonna acknowledge it just because it's messed up.


 


It's like you hear someone say "Oh, she likes to watch bondage porn" And then you will joke about it on Facebook or Twitter or with friends being like "Hold on just gonna go put on my leather straps" or something like that…


 


If that makes sense.


 


It's just Lana's dark humour i think .. Nothing about her actually condoning pedophilia.

Right--it's a serious issue, but still something people joke about if you're not really thinking too deeply about the consequences. It's like once I was ironically putting way too many random, meaningless tags on my Instagram pictures, one of which was "#SIDS" or something. And someone who was actually affected by that called my ass out. Was I thinking of that initially? No. Will I ever make a joke like that again? No.

 

So Lana's guilty of not thinking too critically. As usual~ :teehee:

Yeah, I think it pissed her off and rather than ignore it or block the user ~ like a normal person, lol~ she retweets it. also remember that account that may or may not have been hers that was spilling political propaganda.. anyone know what I'm talking about?  I remember talking about it on ldr.fm, can't remember what happened w/ that

I don't get the use of this Leona Lewis gif? what is this?

 

but I think that the linked article does a great job discussing some talking points, but I wonder what @ZZZzzziper realized? Did they listen to the AKA album and hear Put Me in a Movie? The affluent and sometimes older man is a motif in Lana work fo sho. But I think Lana's statements has more do with the wrongness and exploitation in a relationship (infidelity or exhange of money/services/connections for her company) and not blatant pedophilia.

Oh yeah! I think that had an uppercase "i" where a lowercase "L" would be in her real name.

i agree with @ personally, i reckon it's just her dark sense of humour. she probably found the allegation so ridiculous that she actually found it funny. although, i've retweeted things by mistake actually before, so maybe it was just that. either way, i'm certain she's not pro-pedophilia.

That article is one of the most retarded shit I've ever read. No, scratch that, skimmed over. So she likes the younger woman / older man dynamics, so fucking what? And how that tweet is even an issue I sincerely do not even know. :usrs:

I think with some people might think the Lolita thing is a bit weird.

 

Must admit before I knew Lana and her Lolita tendancies, I didn't like anything related to it at all because it seemed really creepy. I still get a little creeped about it tbh and have my opinions about it but to do that and write an article about it is just...attention seeking.

 

But I knew when I first listened to Lolita and her references in her songs that some people would have problems with it - as usual..

If one takes the whole Lolita thing at face value, I agree that it can be creepy.

 

But context matters. Lana is an adult woman who clearly has always liked older men (I gots a taste for men who are older / It's always been so it's no surprise) and probably enjoys a certain amount of age play, who's singing about her own experiences (real or imagined). To say that equals promoting paedophilia is just absolutely idiotic to me.

 

I also don't understand what's the point of these "opinion" pieces such as the article in question. They seem to assume that song lyrics' purpose in life is to promote certain lifestyles, ideals & philosophies, and that only those deemed acceptable and politically correct should be written and sung about. So... are they suggesting censorship, or...?

Perhaps they are referring to songs that she has written previously when she was younger, referring to her younger days in which there many references to older guys taking a liking to her?

 

I don't know. People are just presuming things about her and that's not fair. Trying to stir controversy up again probably.

it's the iconic horse porn scene in Britney's Radar video, and it's mostly useless and just there because of the word "Radar"

 

 

 

And i think Lana just retweeted it bc of her ironic/sarcastic sense of humor.

I think she was being sarcastic. She was maybe publicly mocking the person who wrote that. I'm very sure that she's not pro-pedophilia in the slightest and even if she was then she wouldn't re-tweet that because it's obviously criticism. Like @ said, she has a dark sense of humour which is probably partly the reason too. I think she found it funny that someone said that about her.
