Divisive Princess

I see the aggressiveness she's talking about in regards to Francesco in this video... I hope he's not like that all the time. It's hard to tell when famous people are jerks because of annoying paps or if they're really assholes.

The picture of her by the pool and the fact that they mentioned the designer of her house made it way too easy to find her exact address

I can't help but feel like her fans are empowering her behavior. She's saying ridiculous things and using words she shouldn't, but despite the backlash, she gets on twitter and sees her fans calling her 'queen' and applauding her and I don't think it's right; if your fave is being problematic, just own up to it! No one's saying you have to unstan, but at least help her understand why what she's saying is wrong. She's only human, and we get that. But it's her refusal to be sorry and her complete ignorance that's troubling. 
 
I honestly believe that it would make a world of difference if she heard the critiques coming from her fans rather than people who couldn't care less about her.

I've never seen anyone say anything about this playlist on Lana's Spotify and I just thought it was odd. Please reply whether or not you've seen it because I feel like I'm going crazy

I'll listen if my internet ever decides to work properly I understand what you're saying, but the main thing with bitch is that it's so casually used in sexist ways. In gaming outside of calling someone a bitch under your circumstances, you're told to "stop playing like a bitch" if your team is loosing. It's the equivalent of "stop playing like a girl" "you shoot like a girl". The problem with your last sentence is that "bitchy" is generally referred to female emotions. If a guy is complaining and their friend says "stop acting bitchy" it generally refers to them "complaining like a woman" Even though they might be doing something annoying, referring to them as a sexist term isn't really an appropriate response. Why not say "stop being annoying" instead of "stop acting like a bitch?"  
 
I just have issues with men assuming they have the right to reclaim and redefine a sexist word against women. If white people started "reclaiming" the n-word and used it in a joking away against friends and saying things along the lines of "I'm not using it towards black people, I'm using it towards everyone, so it's not racist" it wouldn't take away the history of it nor make it any less offensive. Azealia saying f*ggot means (paraphrasing) 'any man who hates women' it doesn't take away the homophobic context of the word nor does it give her the right to use it because she feels like her definition is correct. Just because people say bitch in a non-sexist way doesn't mean it's not sexist. My father in law drops the n-word almost every minute yet swears he's not racist, but that's a whole other discussion 

Here's my two cents.
 
  As a black bi woman, Azealia has the right to reclaim derogatory terms pertaining to her race, sexuality and gender only. Can she say dyke? Yes. That term has historically used against bi and lesbian women. Can she use the n-word? Despite local race myths (I can explain if anyone actually cares) black people are the only ones that can truly be hurt by the word, so yes she has every right to use it. Can she say bitch? Yes. It has historically has been used against women during rape, abuse and shaming tactics.
 
 The whole "men are called bitch too" argument is ridiculous. The only time men are called bitches is when their manhood is being compared to womanhood, aka being compared to a woman is supposed to make them feel inferior... because they view women as being inferior. When a guy is called a pussy he doesn't get mad at the word, he gets mad at being compared to a woman... It's saying "you're not strong like a man, you're weak like a woman." To a lot of men, possessing any female characteristics is wrong, in someways their thinking is not only sexist, but homophobic. It leads to the thought of "I'm not a real man if I like this, it'll make me act girly.. it'll make me gay" which is an obvious problem in itself. I think the female perspective of the bitch that's something a lot of y'all are missing. If I threw around the word f*g all the time, a lot of you would rightfully be angry at me trying to use a word that has most likely been used against you in a hateful manor. What if someone on here was called a f*g while they were getting beat or bullied for being gay? It would be pretty "bitchy" of me to continue using the word towards and completely ignore the history they've suffered because of it. Yet most of you find it okay to constantly use a word bitch directly towards me. To me, when a man calls me a bitch, it brings me back to points of my life when I was abused, being choked, punched and spit on while being told how much of a "fucking bitch" I was for doing nothing more than speaking to a man in the wrong way. I've said this over and over again, yet people view the word bitch as a joke. Just because you haven't felt the hatred behind a word doesn't mean 
 
Back to Azealia; she has no right to say f*g because that term has historically been used as a slur against gay men. Has it been used towards other sexualities? Yes, but her being called f*g isn't comparable to the history of hatred that term has associated with gay men. I'm white and as a child I was called a "n*gglet" because my grandpa was 1/2 black, but that doesn't give me the right to use the n-word nor does it mean that I've been oppressed by that word nor will I ever feel any real social racism due to that word. As a white woman, it doesn't impact me in the same ways. Though I was called a racial slur for my racial ancestry, it in no way compares to someone calling Azealia the n-word. I would never use the terms "race card" "gender card" or "gay card" because I think in a lot of ways it's an excuse for outside ignorance and takes away from the seriousness of the issues, but, I do think that Azealia assumes that because she's oppressed in some aspects of society she's able to use oppressive terms towards other minorities, which isn't the case. If Lucy Liu called Azealia the n-word everyone would lose their shit, but I'm sure Azealia wouldn't have a problem calling her any racist terms. 

I love this. I actually like how casual and 70's suburban teen she's dressed. I don't care what she wears on a publication this unknown. And it's not like it's hurting her career in any way; it's just something fun she did. I think it's cute.

This video reminds me a lot of Last Girl on Earth, as if she's alone in this b&w world with nothing to do but watch the boys and meanwhile she's reminiscing about the colorful times she had with the girls. 
 
I'm positive that's probably not what it's about but whenever I see the video, I think of that song.

Just a random thought, but- does anyone else ever think about what it would be like if Lana had reached this level of success as Lizzy Grant? I wonder if she would look the same as the trailer park days and still make bops. Would you stan?

The last thing we need is another cultural appropriation controversy

Looks straight out the 70's
