as somebody who's heavily suspecting they have autism... autistic people do not just accidentally do nazi salutes out of clumsiness autistic people really are not as dumb, unaware, or naive as they're made out to be

i'm sorry, but when you label yourself on your profile as the largest fan of an artist who has been accused of rape while hammering in on lana's supposedly fucked up actions, you really can't act surprised when people bring it up

i just don't really understand how you've made numerous posts discussing how lana's done terrible things (most of which really ARE NOT compared to what many other celebrities have done, like let's be for real) but haven't made any effort to do the same for someone who's accused of rape, no, it doesn't necessarily absolve lana of her questionable actions, but i find it hypocritical for you to be criticizing lana for ultimately minor things in the grand scheme of things when somebody you're (mostly) silent about regarding questionable actions has been accused of rape, one of the most evil things you could do to someone

her saying beat me and tell me that no one will love me better than you do doesn't automatically mean she's accepting of domestic abuse, especially since it's about HER being abused, if anything, i feel like one would be more sympathetic that she might feel that way, or be in that situation, same with he hit me and it felt like a kiss, which references a song featuring very similar lyrics to the aforementioned smarty lyrics, a song sung by a woman trying to justify somebody abusing her, if she were singing about abusing someone, it might be different, and could be indicative of who she might be like as a person, but people should be allowed to express shocking, dark, and sometimes troubling things in their art, trying to stifle that, control that, or make it some sort of moral issue just limits what people can express artistically, which i find to be a terrible thing for art, and, honestly, lana's music really isn't that dark compared to some other artists, ethel cain's first album is literally about a girl being kidnapped, prostituted, murdered, and cannibalized, does ethel cain making an entire album about that make her immoral? and if lana's wrong for singing about abuse, why should ethel cain get a pass for making an album about something so harrowing? like i said before, listeners can decide what they do or do not feel comfortable listening to, and i'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to have opinions, or perhaps criticisms about lyrics, but i feel like there just isn't really a definitive answer as to what people should or should not say in their songs, and it's really just up to the listeners to decide what they want to listen to, the musicians creating the music and writing/singing the lyrics honestly aren't responsible for the feelings of random listeners who happen to come across their art, it's not their job to coddle or to be completely palatable for random people they don't know, if they don't want to and, also, i really don't mean to make it about you, but i just find it odd how you're sitting here talking about how lana's done so much fucked up shit, in your opinion, while openly stanning melanie martinez (your member tag is the #1 melanie martinez fan on lanaboards and you have a gif of her in your signature) someone accused of RAPE? sexually assaulting someone is 100x worse to me compared to someone making ignorant comments or marrying someone morally dubious, i just don't understand how you could look past that, right now she's literally under controversy again for a coloring book she made featuring very inappropriate depictions of children, which, again, i find to be unacceptable, and worse than questionable lyrics or ignorant statements

i disagree, i see nothing wrong with provocative/shocking lyrics, as long as they're done tactfully enough, it's obvious she's dealt with some bad, perhaps abusive relationships, perhaps was involved with some sort of cult, and hinted at possibly physical abuse from her mother my father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me so i feel nobody should dictate how she express her feelings regarding abuse, i do not find it immoral to talk about such heavy things like this, but i like dark, provocative art, to an extent, so that's just how i feel at the end of the day, listeners can decide what they do or do not feel comfortable listening to, but it isn't like her music is usually sunshine, puppies, and rainbows to begin with, she's said similarly provocative things in put me in a movie, ultraviolence, arguably beautiful player, and butterflies pt. 2 as a whole, not to mention all of the lolita references, and, again, i don't consider her immoral for being provocative, if anything, we can only speculate at the end of the day what she really means by what she says

i completely sympathize with her situation, and i wish her the best, but if she has the freedom, time, and ability to tweet and comment about it online, she has the freedom, time, and ability to actually do something productive about it like go to the police, or get a restraining order and before anyone says that going to the police won't solve anything (which i DO get, sometimes police can be unhelpful)... neither will randomly posting about it on social media

not putting her on a pedestal i have no problem with admitting that she's done some questionable things, and hasn't always been perfect, i just don't want to automatically label her a bad person, or someone who's siding with and protecting someone committing domestic violence, when we don't know every detail of what's going on regarding people we don't know and, regardless, somebody on her team doing something bad is NOT THE SAME as her, HERSELF, doing something bad, i do agree she's responsible for her team, to an extent, but i do not believe she directed her team to ignore particular people if they speak out on somebody they hired doing something bad, honestly, i have no idea as to why her team would be ignoring and silencing someone who's just speaking out about something they're concern about, and doesn't look good on their part, but i'm not going to just point fingers at lana for it, and like @jaesana said, maybe certain people have legal limitations as to what they can do or say

her team, which is comprised of individual people who have their own thoughts, beliefs, and actions, do not automatically reflect her as a person, she can't be directly responsible for everything they do, i'm sorry, but that's very unfair to her, should she be obligated to check in on and approve of absolutely everything each individual person on her team does? she hires people to work for her and has to trust to some extent that they will do the right things, but that doesn't always mean they will, because they're all individual people at the end of the day who will do what they believe to be right, and she can't be blamed for other people's wrong actions

deleted my other post because i found it misinformed and a bit crass, but i just think we shouldn't automatically assume lana's aware of the allegations and is supporting her bodyguard regardless, when we don't even know these people, what's going on in their personal lives, or how they feel about said occurrences NGL it sometimes feels like some people here are just eager for an opportunity to hate on lana, to have reason to criticize her, or just want any sort of drama surrounding her they can discuss and make themselves look good about, which i find quite pathetic if her bodyguard really was just some random guy who was hired from a third-party company, i really find it ridiculous to put so much blame on her when it's literally just some dude she hired, it's not like he works closely and personally with her, he likely works as a bodyguard for other people as well and is just fulfilling his role, and likely isn't too directly involve with her or her life

NVM

i'm pretty sure @Dua Lipa was just joking

which we can't really hold her responsible for, and her team's actions do not automatically reflect hers

when elon musk buys out lanaboards and legally changes his name to elle musk...
