Make me your Dream Life

honestly one of the reasons why I was drawn to her in the first place was that she wasn't afraid of getting down w difficult feelings and that's a fucking STRENGTH. Glamorous  

I know exactly what u mean. She's being a lot more outspoken which is great, but I guess since its all still unfolding, we don't really know. I've to agree something's different yeah. I kinda wanna know where it's all stemming from, but at the same time, it's too early to really say

how she did that was one of the best parts lmfaoooooooo 
 
and mm not to mention. glamorously WHAT A KWEEN

I love how ur spazzing that was literally me like hours ago, but I KNOW RIGHT?? 

I feel like one point people are missing is that she is specifically talking about the backlash she received from critics, other singers and writers. People were saying Ariana, Beyoncé etc. received death threats and all this horrible stuff but those didn't come from the people she is calling out but from awful stans, racists, misogynists etc. Critics and writers didn't tell Beyoncé to not be outspoken about police brutality but praised her for doing so. Writers and critics didn't write Ariana Grande death threats for Thank U Next but praised her for being open about her emotions. 
 
None of this was ever addressed to EVERYONE. It's just like... if it's not about you stop being offended. It's like men being offended by "all men are pigs" if you're not (or think you're not) great, no need to be offended, no need to write a paragraph on "nOt aLl mEn"...
 
I do agree that this shouldn't have been posted as is because it's missing clarity and there are certain parts distracting from the main subject matter she tried to address... so I think Lana has smth to learn and also if this was read by anyone before she posted it i dont know what the fuck they were thinking letting her do those name drops. Cause take those out and there is no issue here. 

So because someone faced racism and prejudice you are automatically not allowed to mention them in any non-YAAAAS-ing context or else you are a racist urself? Well ok. Get a grip of reality pls

why is everyone mad at the namedropping when it is so very obvious lana loves these gals and their music and shes only dropping the names to point out the hypocrisy
nowhere in her post does she say they shouldnt go #1 or whatever, yall are doing the most

So why eggcactly are we offended about her statement this time around?
I think she has a point or two, no matter if one sees things the way she does. Critics praise female artists with the most braindead self-objectifying lyrics as strong and feminist while Lana had to take shit every time she sang a classic Hollywood-esque damsel-in-distress song. Billie, Adele & co are celebrated for sad emotional dongs while Lanz gets debunked as a pretentious emo.
Lana often does not think when she speaks up and lately her white-rich-priviledge showed mire often than not but this statement is actually pretty on point, whether you fully agree with her or not.
The only thing that upsets me is that the release date is most likely as fake as the poetry book release

On 2010 they destroyed me, but by May 21st, I'm revived teas

if you think anything she said was racist, you totally missed the point. i do agree that namedropping them was not the smartest move, but she didn't mean in a negative or critical way, she named a few female artists who have been successful in their musical careers, and why she should be able to sing about whatever she wants to sing about without scrutiny, nothing more, nothing less. 
 
wait about a week or two and mostly everyone will forget about this and move onto the next controversy, cancel culture is so toxic and majority of the time it never does anything. 
 
anyways i'm so happy that lana is taking her power back. she should be able to sing about whatever she wants, it's her art, and she shouldn't have to feel afraid to do so.

Ms Del Rey is a glamorous woman what a KWEEN I'm so happy for her   

i think what makes me most happy about the post, aside from the empowerment ofc poetry books and even the album is like. jeez how real emotions are, and how important it is to get them out. and that it's alright to express them. like- jeez since when was being sad such a crazy thing, it happens everyday, and having that omitted can be an even more frustrating thing. Miss Del Rey I feel u. QUEEN

this situation is low key funny to me
the letter definitely has a couple of issues that have been outlined in here already but seeing people fly off the handle at her because they misunderstood the opening line is just...

the gals and gays won today. whew 

she can sing from the bottom depths of the mariana trench idgaf i'll dance to that opening track w tears in my eyes SO HARD 

I wish people would see it more as the most successful women in “pop” music right now are women of color, which is why Lana named these women of color. If it was mostly white women, she wouldve named those white women. Celebrate the fact that the industry is being dominated by women of color!! Minus Ariana lmaoo

The fact that NFR got so much high praise and nods to by critics and the media while being one of her most removed from 'ldr persona' where she put her femininity on the back burner tells you enough and shows the double standard she gets judged by, for example people like Anthony fantono not taking works like UV seriously (which has some of most gorgeous production and wordplay imo) because of the way she's presented herself back then
