ajdknfkn literally Where did Anyone say talking on this board is activism. You're the only one here trying to equate people's personas on this LDR forum with the work they do in real life. But again, go off if it makes you happy sis. -

What I'm doing is definitely using the name 'pincurlsandpearls from Lanaboards' in real life something I'm not doing, however, is throwing around words like fascism and totalitarianism like someone else is doing on this thread lol. Weird way to try to come for someone but go off, I suppose. -

Many artists that are poor, actually poor, tend to be politically active and art is inseparable from politics given art's long history of being sponsored by patrons who had political motives behind what they commissioned and yes, choosing not to be socially or politically aware is in itself a political stance as there is no neutral ground to take and silence is its own form of rhetoric but anyway nearly at 3000 girlies! 4000 by aug 30th? -

When I checked if it was still in stock maybe yesterday or the day before it said it was meant to ship on the 19th of Sept (as opposed to saying the 30th when it first came out), maybe some will ship on release day and some will ship in staggered amounts after? She really is coming for the numbers though, goddamn. -

That's pretty much my stance too. After kind of throwing women and Latin communities under the bus to reach fame it's nice that she's stopped doing that and all but I'll never see her as someone to take political opinions from shifting the energetic vibration of a location for the higher good and neither should anyone. I'll be streaming LFA and I'll be grateful that she's actually made a really nice song that has proceeds going to a good cause, but in my non-spotify life I'll be trying to give people with actual expertise my attention and what money I can spare. Which is, from what I can tell from her ig live caption, what she thinks should be done too. -

I'd listen to NFR, Cinnamon, and love song a couple of times, then try to save the rest for release. Though I'd try to save my appetite tbh. -

We have no clue how much of her own funds she donates to whatever causes, and quite frankly, we shouldn't. Publicly donating the proceeds of a song is a good thing- people streaming that song will know it's going to a good cause. Publicly donating her own money- attention seeking nonsense. If being quiet about however much she donates of her own money, if at all, is something she picked up at church, then more power to her. That would be tapping into 'woke culture.' And for the record, speaking for myself, this song is far from what she could have done if she wanted to get that 'woke queen' clout. That's clearly how she feels Coachella got treated in the public which is why we got a disclaimer on the instagram post and the cover for the single doesn't even feature her name. As far as I can see there's no insidious motive behind this. She's been emotionally impacted by the shootings, one of which was in the state she loves and writes song after song about. I know people outside the U.S. who get emotionally impacted by the shootings. She's got a great producer on call and is clearly in a very prolific phase right now, with high amounts of creative energy around her (shooting music videos, being at GDT's hollywood star ceremony, etc). If she wasn't donating the proceeds I'd find it disgusting to be profiting- but she's not profiting. She's kept it as low profile as it can be, maybe in an attempt to not get the high amounts of media backlash she gets from the media who won't forget her 'I don't care about feminism' remarks from years ago. -

"I'm not loving what work she's doing at the moment or how she treats her fans and nobody, including me, is obligated to continue dropping money for something you don't enjoy or continue stanning for someone who has nothing to offer you" =/= "I hate Lana and so should you" -

Dan Auerbach and west coast remain unbothered forever. I really like a lot of what she's done with jack and it seems like they have a very enviable working relationship, but some things just can't be topped in terms of that explosive build-up imo -

Can't wait for you to not say anything when the album is released and only come crawling out of the gutter when another fight breaks out! See you then! -

gdi lmao. And I agree with Ultra violet, she's got such an obsession w hollywood and recent american history there's no way she wouldn't know. Especially with the 'shut up's and 'do it's mentioned in the link- I didn't catch them when I listened. Dark. -

That's all you seem to do tho... like I'll go ages without having to see that completely accurate and true signature of yours and then as soon as an argument starts boom, there you are. Weird lol. -

No offence but how come you only post to jump into arguments. Like even your signature seems like it was chosen to start arguments lmao.
