drowning mermaid

i hope she doesn’t try to be political, usually i’m fine with, or even like, artists getting a little political (hozier) but she’s not good at it at all so i want her to stay far, faaar away

okay!! that last statement was pretty good by her standards!! lana really is the personification of “no thoughts head empty” sometimes

ah sorry do you want me to change my comment? remove your quote?

lots of social change start with violent riots, the suffragettes, stonewall, boston tea party. i feel for small business owners caught in the crossfire, hopefully they can get their money from insurance and rebuild this has been a nightmare for everyone, but ultimately, at some point action must be taken. these people have been trying it the non-violent way for decades now, and it’s gotten them nowhere

when you have a platform, you have the moral obligation to speak out and point out when obvious injustices like this occur (especially if your fandom is majority white and lost in their own world like lana’s is, she could be raising awareness in a group of people that a lot of other pop stars can’t reach)

i think you’d like this album if you liked nfr (like me) and dislike it if you didn’t. i doubt the sound would be radically different, but the subject matter might be if she actually feels maligned and her posts weren’t just random bursts of anger

wait marina? unfollowed lana?? nooo i was emotionally invested in that friendship

you have to see the inequalities in order to strive to correct them no? also your profile pic is literally you looking down your nose at us which umm.. it follows a theme

the only album of hers that’s on par with the masterpiece that is aka is honeymoon none of the other albums even come close

idk dude i just feel stupid when typing out “gangsta”

gangster nancy sinatra is redundant. nancy sinatra is gangster

eh. i assume it’s about the way critics said her submissive attitude hurt feminism back in 2012. but again, a) this was 2012, only lana fans and lana herself remember how she was treated back then, b) she seemingly can’t make her point in a clear and understandable way without alluding to how she believes other women weren’t getting similarly unfair criticism (which is blatantly untrue) and c) the women she does name drop are majority woc who had to endure racist AND sexist remarks, whereas lana only has to endure the latter ahem anyway that’s my problem with it

stop it i have unreasonably high expectations of the cover now

i don’t remember lana being called a whore by anyone notable or any sizable group of people after tropico, sucks if she did, but i don’t remember it. but you know who was actually called a whore by literally everyone? nicki minaj after every single music video she ever put out. i can’t take her seriously when she seems to forget every woman goes through this shit, and she’s not special in getting unfair criticism. also people are so much quicker to slut shame women of color (bc white women are seen as pure and delicate) so it makes her come across as ignorant. (also she called an alt singer, probably an underaged lorde, a whore in fmwuttt, which uhh.. doesn’t help her case here)

sooo we’re not getting surf noir?? damn it

oh come off it. ariana is without a doubt a technically better singer than lana, it’s not even comparable. also, rich to call ariana out on acting like a little girl when we stan someone who called herself lolita at 20 something yrs old

chemtrails over the what now

finally!! she’s writing what she’s actually good at writing now never do that to us again hmm

super funny of her btw to write a pointless letter in which she’s mad at criticism she got 7 years ago + one mildly critical article, only to spark equally pointless controversy, after which she tried to clarify herself in the most salty, immature way possible. and now to remind people of it again with a letter that my high school english teacher would rip to shreds. a rube goldberg machine of dumbassery

i blame this on the newly discovered aliens

nothing she writes has any logical throughline, is the problem,, she goes off on weird tangents in the middle that have nothing to do with her supposed point and her sentences are long and confusing

does she really not understand the way she sounds to other people?? has she been living in her own head for so long she thinks this makes her sounds even remotely reasonable? also: james bond

she really can’t write.. her new new letter is near indecipherable like wtf are you even on about lana what triggered this anyway?? i’m so curious now it’s just such an odd time for her to go off the rails

thought about it a bit and came to the conclusion that this whole thing is even dumber than previously thought. lana handles criticism from an army of snobby male critics without speaking out and never protests when men say disgusting things about her (eminem, anybody??) but god forbid a 17 year old girl express her thoughts about her work or ann powers to criticize her even a little bit in an article. jesus christ. i’ve never seen a clearer case of internalized misogyny in my entire life

i mean realistically yes. people are cancelled on the daily now so nothing really sticks
