Divisive Princess

I actually think James Franco was the perfect person to interview her because he seems to really understand her and her art and he's obviously not going to ask/publish anything that sheds a negative light on her. It was refreshing to read an interview that wasn't riddled with controversial topics. I want him for all of her interviews.

Lana isn't fat at all. Has she gained a little weight, yes, but when someone goes from being really thin to a normal size, they don't deserve to get attacked. I don't think her weight has affected her style or aesthetic at all. It's changed, but I don't think her weight is why.
 
I would love for the people calling Lana fat to post pictures of themselves and let people tear them apart about their bodies (and style for that matter). Next time you tear Lana down for her weight, think about someone doing the same thing to you. You horrible little shits

they all sound the same to my non-musical ears

I'm definitely co-signing this. Ata hit the nail on the head on here: it would be AMAZING if we never had any downtime again, but it wouldn't solve the problem of staff being unable to effectively moderate. If I had a nickel for every time I had to reply to a PM with, "I'm sorry, only @@TIARNZUS is able to do this; you'll have to contact him", man, I would be hella rich at this point.
 
Moderators here are essentially regulated to glorified janitors. We clean up spam, we merge threads, and unfortunately, dole out the odd warning point and remove posting privileges. Menial tasks. We don't have the power to IP ban/delete member accounts, we can't fix the default icon limbo, we can't add sub-forums (i.e., 2014, 2015), we had to abandon Member of the Month because moderators lacked the power to change the sidebar... 
 
All the power to run the forum effectively is concentrated on you. This centralized power is not good and as a result, the forum is suffering. What adds insult to injury is when we bring up problems and you essentially ignore us and fail to even acknowledge the problems. I don't think other members should be privy to the words in this post (I would have much rather discussed this privately), but you repeatedly ignore PMs, the Staff Chat, and attempts to reach out to you on Facebook. It's just not cool.
 
I know that you rilly love this forum and I know you've put a lot of work into creating a site where we have an amazing community of Lana fans. I'm happy to have made so many new friends and I love the inside jokes, the shade , and the camaraderie and we all really do owe that all to you! We just want to help you make this amazing forum better, so talk to us Tiarnan! 

Didn't she drop LDRAKALG and go brunette at 24 years old? I'm reaching

People complaining about Lana's weight should post first in the Pictures of You thread. If you don't look better than this your opinion is invalid:
 
 

I really like the idea of Honeymoon being a LDR-esque version of AKA

not really, Lana Del Ray is also gapless and we have fucking pawn shop blues and then righ after it we have brite lites

Ew, Im so frustrated this place is becoming Atrl 2.0. Some members are here just to discuss sales, shade Lana because of the lack promo and drag her for her appearance instead of appreciating beautiful tunes like Terrence loves You.

And why would you not be able to stan for an artist that is not in the public eye? you should be stanning for music in the first place the others are just superficial shit that comes with the stupid era we live in, and thats coming from a person who likes charts and shit like that but i know that is stupid and it really doesnt matter.

Right on, brother! Who cares what she writes or how she sings! If she's fat*, nobody should love her!
 
* By fat, of course, I mean slightly larger than an emaciated ten year old boy, who should always be the standard of beauty for us to judge women against

Men who aren't even attracted to women still have ridiculously high beauty and thinness standards for them. How fucking gross. If you want to discuss someone being fat, please talk about my 250 pound fat ass, not a woman with a normal fucking body 

dont' compare a stylist-guided concert look to a casual "i'm gonna have brunch outside with my friends and probably go to the Walmart for some groceries" look

This is disgusting.

I think she looks pretty whether she's super skinny or a more normal size (because she's not fat in those pictures, she's just... normal looking?). Her thicker thighs in that Tropico pic with the knee socks is actually doing stuff to me right now, sooo... haha.

just because Lana isn't a twig anymore doesn't make her fat
dead ass turn on your location I wanna fight
fat shaming ass bitch

the "fat" shaming that's going on right now
 

Wow, that's rude. She used to be very skinny but since she has gained weight she looks healthy, and her face looks more beautiful.
Frankly, you're not in the position to criticize about a woman's weight. It's her choice, and as long as she feels comfortable with her looks, you should keep your mouth shut
Therefore, "delete it fat"

i worry about some of you here who are building up your expectations for mtwbt really high lol im sure it will be cute and all, hopefully amazing, but a lot of you seem to think its going to be a masterpiece. i hope for you all it is because if it isnt the bitching will be endless on here

i think no matter whatever happens the bitching on lanaboards will always be endless x

The last thing we need is another cultural appropriation controversy
