Now that I've had time to digest this a bit more, I'mma say my piece.
 
Short version/ Summary:
Girlfriend is in her feelings right now (and I'm sad for her) but she made a major mis-step that she could have used as an opportunity for growth but instead quadrupled down; I'm disappointed in her but will still support her musically because nothing can take her music and its meaning away from me; Twitter cancel culture is going overboard but there is validity behind the points POC (including myself in there) have made; I don't consider Lana racist but she does not recognize the privilege she has experienced compared to the women she included in her post; Lana thwarted her own intended meaning of her post by the aggressive tones throughout, especially in the beginning; both this and her response overshadowed the rest of what she had to say about the perception of her glamorizing abuse, which she made valid points about.
 
Longer version:
I'm genuinely sad that Lana was clearly hurt by something that led her to make the post in the first place. I do believe her *intention* was not to openly dismiss the women she named, but once you put your words out there, you have to realize they're not quite solely yours anymore, and can be open to interpretation. Which I'd imagine was the point of sharing it in the first place, as it was labeled as a "question for the culture." A lot of people who end up being involved in race-related interactions don't have the intention of going there, and I don't believe Lana did. But intent only goes so far. It seems like a lot of people here don't want to hear it, but the POC who shared their concerns made valid points about the racial bias and Lana's inability to see how, despite her own legitimate difficulties in the industry, she has benefited from her privilege in ways the other artists she named have not.
 
While some may say it's not up to her to "correct" what she meant to say, the way she responded in those four follow-ups, after spending the day deleting comments (whether it was her or her team is irrelevant) was more tone-deaf than the original post. A lot of the more blind stans will say this is unimportant (which is concerning), but I do believe she lost some fans of color, and that is sad. Because it didn't have to be that way. Lana could have more maturely addressed her mis-step rather than leaping into quicksand with those four follow-up comments and her #fuckoff post. And doing so doesn't automatically mean she would have "catered to the public" or "backed down." She had an opportunity for growth, and she didn't take it, opting instead to react from a place of anger and low vibration. It's not "ICONIC" or a "kween" moment, as now this is what people (GP though I know no one here cares about that) will focus on, rather than her legitimate concerns about the general perception of her glamorizing abuse. She played herself, and it baffles me that stans don't see that. I'm legitimately concerned that stans are all "haters don't have reading comprehension! lolz" when Lana herself clearly has the inability to comprehend how her word choices contributed to this mess. It's not a good look, and while it's not career-ending, it's at least a derailment/ distraction of sorts. And I don't want that for her.
 
Lastly, I still love her and support her music because she/ the music means so much to me.

dw we'll find something, if Lana doesn't say anything, someone will. I'm putting money on Azealia to call Lanz a fake witch and give us a written rant on 109290348 different Instagram stories.

so what are we gonna get angry about tomorrow

honestly think about this A LOT. today was stronger than multiple caffeine shots 

She didn’t, they called her a karen so she was commenting on that

a good day to stream brooklyn baby

Anyway, stream When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing

this is how i know all her friends eat her ass bc no one has told her to stop posting

if lana loses legit fans im hoping they put her discography jacket on depop or sth so i can buy it

I honestly think a lot of this drama comes down to Lana's wording and how its been misconstrued. If she had started the post with the thesis instead of name dropping those singers people might not be overreacting right now. Unfortunately Lana has a very train-of-thought style of writing that follows emotions instead of logic, and although I think almost everyone would agree with what she's trying to say, using those artist's names and acting massively on the defence is causing damage.
 
Part of me is glad though.  If we lose all the fans that close their ears when she sings UV, then good.

Stan Twitter is notoriously dense, one sided and people live for the drama, they don't want to understand stuff from another POV, other than their messy one. Nota place for constructive discussion, it's all about the drama. Call out/cancel culture in its original form.

i take her promises with a grain of salt atp

anthony should totally delete that video, him mis-reading her sentence about her supposedly "not being a feminist" literally derails the entire second half of his video.
 
although im surprised he didnt really drag her. thats why i think everyone is overreacting so much - the only people that are irate about this are beyonce and nicki minaj stans on twitter
