Honestly I think it’s unhealthy when fan bases blindly support their artist. She’s human and she has things to learn and we all love and support her (many of us have been here for years and years) but we have to hold others accountable.

chemtrails over the what now

I seriously can’t recall Lana being slut-shamed for her performance in Tropico. Only the cultural appropriation accusations come to mind.

Not all of Chuck's work is bad. Remember HBTB, anyone?


 
This being said – Lana clearly has little to no taste when it comes to outfits, styling and overall visual aspects, so her coming up with a bad concept and Chuck just doing what she is told because they're sisters and whatnot might not exactly be ideal.
 
Personally, I'd be here for a return of Nicole Godland. She's still the photographer who gave us the undeniably most iconic and recognisable pictures of Lana, and if she feels the sudden urge to be glamorous again, it'd be a perfect fit.

tea omg - like i dont think any form of pole dancing is whore ish but what lana was doing was cheap and easy and NOT proper pole dancing which is why it can be easily percieved as whorish - miss twigs on the other hand is a proffesional gymnast dancer athlete and pole dancer and has put her blood sweat and tears into perfecting her body art around the pole and for lana to swing around it gormlessly and lay on the floor like a dead fish next to the pole and try and act as if they're doing the same thing is CLOWNERY

I'd honestly LOVE a milky pearlescent kind:

If Lana posts another statement I'm out. She's free to say whatever she wants, but I'm not here for how seemingly bitter and tone deaf she's been. Completely hoping she stops/doesn't post anything related to this mess again (unless it's a well thought out explanation)

It's taken me a few days to process that her statement really was anti-feminist and racist.
 
I know this is something we are struggling to process in the fandom, but it is what it is - EVEN if it hurts to admit. I hope she cuts the defensiveness and spends the lockdown getting informed and READING.

I just really wanna know if this situation was the one which showcased lana's ignorance clearly to some people? I mean... she literally used to call herself the "ghetto Nancy Sinatra", and remember the Israel situation? Or how she said everything was good under Obama lmfao. When you think about her posts they don't really come as a shock, but did people seriously not realise how oblivious lana really is until now?

As huge fans on a forum dedicated to her, I'm sure most of us are familiar with those. But she stooped to a WHOLE new level of low with the recent commentary. 

your last point is interesting because, before she started running her mouth just now, public opinion of her was at an all time high. NFR was acclaimed, people wanted her to win the Grammy, etc.  
Her rant is about 8 years late anyways, no one even talks about that stuff anymore.

she's just the definition of a white feminist. 
 
feminism bored her until trump was elected? and she just saw it as an opportunity to jump on the etsy white table magic wagon... ok
 
she's just really misinformed and should stop speaking as an authority on topics like feminism, science, etc. it's embarrassing.  
 
disclaimer: i don't think the name-dropping pertains to this issue, i just have found her feminism talk to be inane and disingenuous. i don't think she cares about women, she cares about public opinion of her more than anything.

I've been thinking about what has happened and I've come to some conclusions.
 
1. This was bound to happen in some way or form but I never thought it would've been so nuclear. We've all known for sometime that she is a lot more uneducated than she think she is about issues such feminism,politics and well, generally how the world works outside her middle class bubble. Ethier some publication during an interview would've questioned her during an album cycle or not even bother and called her out regardless in an article. If we can see how shallow she is then surely others would have aswell. Lana just elected to make herself look like coco the cool instead and show how arrogant and ignorant she can be. So yeah this was written in the stars to happen sadly.
 
2. She's not a racist but as I've said before making a list that predominantly featured WOC was a stupid stupid thing to do BC people were bound to jump to that conclusion. She could've used examples of her own race with similar backgrounds or she shouldn't of said any names at all. Which would've resulted in an less harsher outcome.
 
3. I don't like how she promoted herself at the end of the statement. This just makes everything she said look like she is asking for attention for her upcoming projects. We know as her fans, that Lana is not like that but outside perception would not see it that way.
 
4. Lana describing other WOC artists music as being sexy,fucking, cheating while describing hers in an more eloquent manner was another thoughtless move.
 
5. The victim mentality was shocking. Yes she went through some awful experiences with the media however loads of women have before her in the industry and will sadly do so in the future. That fact she worded it that it made her look like she alone had only experienced such hellfire was questionable. Also she isn't the only or first artist to sing about abusive relationships, drugs etc and get called out for it. A good example of this would be her idol Amy Winehouse. The only difference being that back then Amy didn't have the internet/social media up her arse like Lana did so it wasn't so extreme or vocal.
 
6. I'm not not a feminist. This was bound to be misread, even I had to double take while I was reading the statement for the first time. She then proceeded to completely reveal she hasn't got a clue about feminism by saying we're in the third wave when we are clearly in the early stages of the fourth.
 
So before I end this Tedtalk I just want to make it very clear, unlike the good sis that I still do like her. I hope she finds it in her heart to educate herself better on certain subjects and to not be so bloody stubborn. She made some legitimately good points but I do feel after going over everything that she dose owe an apology of some sort or a better more clear headed, less heated response.
 
Also sorry if this was long

nope today was normal thank god

i think all redheads deserve reparations because my redheaded friend mindy was once called soulless in middle school

yes.. redheads are truly the most oppressed minority.. my heart aches for them
