Divisive Princess

Lana's whole life nowadays amounts to she's either damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.
 
It's pretty sad, to say the least. I get people are not into the nihilistic self-destruction elements of Lana's work, to each their own. But at the same time, I kinda detest to the whole "EVERYTHING SHE WRITES ABOUT IS ABOUT THIS" spiel because, well, just as much of her unreleased music says that's not the case. I just personally find it ironic that Lana's every critic's go-to for "We don't mind if anyone else does it, except her" schools of thought. Whether or not it's intentional, I don't know. I just feel like people tend to spot sensitive people who are in the limelight and take advantage of it.
 
I could name probably more than a handful of artists and an even larger number of songs not from Lana that have romanticized self-destruction just as much, and the criticism barely exists. And if it does, it's like "Wow, they push the envelope but it's fantastic!" I think that fuels my sympathy for Lana a lot more than just because I love her. She doesn't catch a break for doing what many musicians have done/written about. Yes, I'll admit that Lana's interviews, particularly during the UV-era, were really controversial, but it's how she felt. The lot of these criticisms really just seem to revolve around invalidating her feelings and experiences as much as possible.
 
I heard somewhere that sometimes we need to stop explaining ourselves so much because the people who love and care about us, don't need an explanation; and the people that don't love or care about us, don't want to hear one anyway. It kinda applies here; none of these people care enough about Lana to want an explanation anyway.
 
I really have no other comment on this. I'm not even Lana and I'm offended by how debasing and brutal this statement is at its core. And that last bit was just absolutely appalling.
 
I'm not even going to get into that mess of a contradiction in regards to the feminism statement. I'm just not even going to get into this at all. This was just sad; I try to avoid reading scathing bullshit like this because it makes me feel bad for the person it happens to, and I regret reading it in the first place. I'm really feeling for Lana more than I did when she got all that backlash around the BTD era. I just hope that Lana can brush this off if/when she finds out about it, because this is anything but a humane exhibition of compassion and concern. It's intentional vehemence.

I actually find it a little funny that she says that Lana is a woman "who doesn’t even know what feminism is, who believes women can do whatever they want" and then derides her for that. Like, yes, that actually is kind of a part of feminism. Yes, equal pay and rights are part of it, but so is a woman being able to make her own decisions. It seems like Kim doesn't know what feminism is.

Haha, so what she said was essentially "she does't even know what feminism is, she can't just do anything she wants as a woman! I will also tell another woman to kill themselves because they are troubled enough to have used/use drugs and have a mental illness (depression)". 
 
 
Edit: Apparently, sleeping with who you want is UNFEMINIST! Kim should stop calling the kettle black.
 
Edit: Her twitter is full of this Lana saga, she retweets people saying 'You go girl! I am SO buying this book now!'
 
The motives are clear as day.

Bad ring
 

Doesn't it hurt her to always have her feet in that angle?

Oh Idk perhaps Honeymoon? Big Eyes? Riverside? Wait For Life?
I mean I'm disappointed too but you can't say she's lying on her ass... Where have you been?

Why am I not surprised @@Trash Magic started this thread?

This is obnoxious in a way that only a piece written by James Franco could be (no shade, I love him), but I think it's really sweet. He seems to really get her.

I honestly think people should stop being so critical of this song. This isn't even technically Lana's song, and it wasn't released by her. When songs from her album start coming out, then I understand having constructive criticism. This is just like a bonus for people who actually like the song.

Not you guys shading Bobby Womack
 
I would be here for Honeymoon to sound like a mixture of this song and Come When You Call Me.

I know what I like and it's all good for me

But its not her fault, its not even her song she's featured on it, you can criticize her when she releases a new album and then if the music is not "progressive" enough for you then fine. But this time its Emile fault.

omg, im FFin slayed!
 
this is perfection!
 
the Im falling apart part!
 
bye!

She was feeling her look! Can she live?!?! 

Tbh I hope Lana doesn't get a stylist. I like that wears whatever the hell she wants and things that SHE obviously likes.
