This might be an unpopular take but... I actually feel like on the whole women have been pushed out many pop spaces (esp alt pop) despite being the main cohort who have historically (and contemporarily) supported the pop music industry and its artists. Sometimes I feel like women (regardless of sexual orientation) get made fun of for liking the same pop music that gay men do because it's "basic" when we like it or whatever. At a gathering recently a friend of a friend told me Charli XCX is "for gay men only" and while he sort of meant it as a joke I felt like it was quite revealing of the kind of culture women in pop spaces experience. I've heard similar sentiments from PC music fans too. While many current pop acts undeniably have huge gay male fanbases, I don't think that should be at the cost of women getting to enjoy those spaces too. I guess it just frustrates me a bit because pop music has traditionally been marketed towards women, who became the butt of jokes about it being lowbrow, only for it to be later claimed by gay culture and then become way less lowbrow and way more cool. Basically misogyny in pop is wearing me down

I’m going full on rant mode and I’m not sorry about it but here’s my argument:
 
Why is this even an “issue”? She’s aware of the gayness of her fans and I don’t think she gives a single fuck. I don’t think she cares whether you’re gay, white, black, male, female, whatever you may be. These posts make me so mad bc people try to put words into her mouth because she might say her fans might be young females so then automatically someone HAS to say “Oh she didn’t point me out because I’m gay!! She now must hate us gays!!”
 
No she just simply doesn’t feel the need to single out gay people. She’s aware, she knows you’re there and she knows there’s no need to run around screaming about it. It’s like the fact that I wish “coming out” didn’t have to be a thing because sexuality shouldn’t be a big deal where we have to tell everyone about it. Why??? Why single people out who are just people by making them conform to a label? To me, making a big deal out of my sexuality is a problem. I don’t want people thinking of me as just their “bi friend” or whatever. No I’m not that. I’m much more than that. And for her to say “Most of my fans are gay guys” would personally make me more angry because I’m not just some “gay stan.”
 
I think as I got older I’ve realized that about Gaga, she opted to try to include gays but then it almost went too far as to selling her music and herself to them for financial gain. And that’s not okay with me. “Oh I accept all gays(‘ money!!!!)” and that bothers the absolute shit out of me. Don’t get me wrong, shes done fundraising stuff and pushed for gay rights and gay acceptance but come on... I don’t want to be exploited for money as a fan of ANY artist.
 
At the end of the day, it’s a business. Just like Trump, Lana didn’t talk about it for a while bc politics + business = more problems. What we’ve learned about Lana is that she’s just here for the music. If all her gay fans disappeared, she’d still make music. If all her female fans disappeared, she’d still make music. No matter what, she’s a musician at heart.
 
Do we need to remind everyone of her performance in December at the ALLY Coalition thing?

I honestly have no idea why she's scared to make that move, I mean, I don't need her to be an activist, but still...
 
She did mention her gay fans though. She once said a reason why they probably connect to her music is because they're vulnerable beings (obviously she didn't mean as they are vulnerable themselves, but in society) so they understand the deepness and loneliness of her music. Also she obviously loves her gay fans, and even posted a pic of the gayest queens in San Francisco once She's obviously supportive, but not very vocal, I'd like to know why! It will happen someday I'm sure

So my partner and I broke up last night which means I'll be using this as an excuse to guilt-trip my friends into listening to Charli for the sake of cheering me up! Promotional king in me SNAPPED 
 
also I Don't Wanna Know is hitting me so hard.... sigh.. 

Say what you want about this era but the tour outfits are everything 

it‘s obviously so really embarrassing that twitter stans are attacking her for the setlist, that being said, i really hope she‘ll add unlock it to the setlist and maybe focus and lipgloss, a gay can dream

Well, I'm saying this as a psychologist, not as a Lana stan. Is it possible that Lana didn't lived the way she describes to us? Yes, it is. BUT, we have to see that Lana is singing about the way things were to her, it's about her subjectivity. She uses artistic elements to translate how she felt and how things were to her, she uses some metaphors that give us a visual image of her own subjectivity. Those image came from her mind, so, her metaphors and the things that she sings always gonna be about her, so, Lana is Lizzy and Lizzy is Lana, even if Lana is a creation, Lana was created by Lizzy, you know? We are what we do, so if Lizzy created Lana, Lizzy is her own creation. It's important that Lana is always writing and singing about the way that she felt. It's impossible to tell things objectively for anyone, bc we're always telling about how we saw it, not how it really was, so, basically, it's impossible to say "oh, she sings about things that are not real" they may not be what objectively happened, but they're how she felt, so, they're real.

Sorry if it's sounds confusing, but basically I'm saying that she sings about how she felt about certain situations, she's not describing objectively, since objectivity is a myth, so we're always creating our own reality, and Lizzy is creating hers, and it does not makes it fake

just had my 4th listen to XCX World with the official tracklist wow she really did THAT n it really went to waste

she used to sound really good but she ruined her voice during the cry baby era and i remember she even got sick or sumn and had to cancel some shows, i guess she broke it forever

white hot forever is a bad title to flipside99 is a good username

its her way of reminding everyone what a genius she is

I thought she was going to pick dancers/performers for Shake It but she’s just picking random twitter gays......mess!

HAPPINESS IS A BUTTERFLY IS SO FUCKING GOOD THE WAY IT JUST CREEPS UP ON YOU

Her mood albums (UV-HM-NFR) truly form a holy trinity. I love that NFR is « its own thing » and not the lovechild of the two others.

"Salty face when I cry"   How did she go from masterpieces like Dead To Me, Carousel, Sippy Cup, Pity Party, and Mad Hatter to THIS
