The conversation around terms being popularised by black LGBT+ ppl (usually drag queens) and the line between something being appropriation and something being popular internet slang (e.g. sis, spill the tea) is an interesting conversation, charging in saying "as a linguist you woke snowflakes need to shut up" isn't <3

i think enjoying a persons music is different to being in a forum literally dedicated to them. you don’t see my ass running to azealia boards bc anna wintour was a bop.

Her managers visit and hate this website, they definitely would have told her about it and she would be well aware.

Just an FYI, this says "I am not not not an insider". Even if you leaked info there's probably no way we could decipher it with grammar like that.

LA who am I to love u . . . when u think I'm a loser.

If you are offended by the use of the name 'Lana del Rey' then you may want to consider stopping using the word 'sis' as it was revolutionized and claimed by the queer Black community.

Azealia attacked Lana’s paragraph about Kanye because of how hypocritical it was for those words to be coming from Lana’s mouth, of all people. Yeah, she was all bestie bestie with Kanye at the time too, but she was bringing up how contradictory it was.
 
Had Lana stopped with the latina thing at the pseudonym I doubt anyone would have a problem with it. Adopting slang, while knowing where it came from, isn’t the same as constantly playing a charade of a latina whether it’s your stage name, using cholos and cholas as extras in your music videos or forcing a latina accent in your live shows.

Sure sure, those are definitely bad aspects that I didn't even bother addressing because they are obviously just . . . bad.
 
My previous post is focusing on her stage name (which I quoted) because we're rapidly transitioning into a world where vocabulary is increasingly being scrutinised and its appropriateness is being reconsidered. I'm drawing attention to the hypocrisy overlooked by many of our users on Lanaboards by throwing around words - in this instance, for someone equating Lana 'del Rey' as being inappropriate and then sprinkling 'sis' on top seems counterproductive considering we're now supposed to be calling out cultural appropriation, yes? 
 
And another thing - understanding the origin doesn't mean that excuses the use. The groan-inducing saying 'Let's have a pow-wow' comes to mind, which work places think is a GROOVY way of saying meeting but in reality is never okay and is deeply awkward for everyone.
