yeah i think her pretending to be latina is problematic but i'm not going out here saying what she is or isn't allowed to do. so comments like "oh so shes not allowed to wear xyz??" are just coming out of no where. anyones allowed to wear whatever they want. it's "i think what you're doing is displaying a disregard for peoples culture" not "you can't wear that!!"

what did she say about the headress?

omg stop being dramatic. i said it adds on to her history. you dont need to get all defensive like "OH SO NOW WE'RE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO WEAR PLAID SHIRTS??!?!?!". it's not that serious

it's not the fact that she's wearing a plaid shirt. if any other celebrity just decided to wear plaid one day it would be fine. but lana has an extensive past of pretending to be latina so the look from her insta update just adds to it

why should she even care about her looks in a shoulders up instagram video update. like concerts and red carpet events are a different story. but she obviously just posted this on her way to walmart or something she literally had no reason to go out of her way to look good this. this criticism is so stupid. y'all have been lied to. just because she gained weight (i don't even see it) doesn't mean she's unhealthy. she's talked about being on unhealthy diets when she was thinner and younger anyways so if anything it makes more sense to assume she's more healthy rn

just gonna wait for someone who gets the book to illegally scan it and upload it as a pdf online x also i'm kinda scared cause idk what to expect. her poetry that she uploaded recently is good IMO, and in general her poetry is better than her lyrics. but then again you have some like " my life is my poetry my love making is my legacy"

May Jailer might have worked. idk if the name elizabeth would do well in the entertainment industry. It just sounds sort of out dated. I know a lot of celebrities named elizabeth but they all use stage names

can she start putting effort into her look like on the paradise tour it was so good omg. nfr tour outfits looked like 13 year old me picked her outfits

gwen didn't change her name to kiko yakuza and dye her hair jet straight black and then write lyrics like 'he's japanese just like me' and 'you like your women japanese'

You know that one video of Lana drowning? It was an alternative ending of shades of cool. where do i find it?

omg lizzy really is back im so excited for cock

then in that case you in particular are not included in the group of people im referring to, who make up the majority of the fan base

Ahem. the bigger picture is she does not give a shit about poc issues, never has, and is completely unwilling to learn. if you look at my first comment again i wrote about how this behavior has continued pretty consistently up to her IG post a few months ago and her response following it. i know she never will learn at this point, i'm just talking about it cause i can't stand seeing people defend this behavior and keep shooting down criticisms. if stans acknowledged what is and isn't acceptable, acknowledged her for the flaws but still enjoyed the art that would be one thing. but it's just not whats happening

i read it but didn't say anything cause i already said it before. y'all keep micro analyzing the example of the name and not seeing the bigger picture. it's just an example of the behavior she shows, not the worst of it and i didn't even say it made her a racist. thats such a buzz word

uh yeah? cause thats where poc are marginalized by white people. poc outside of white majority countries don't have a lot of reason to care about what happens here since they're not even affected by it

ugh and the thing she did a lot of volunteer work in her past on native reserves. so i'm wondering how she can experience all that and still think wearing a headdress is appropriate "So unless you are a native male from a Plains nation who has earned a headdress, or you have been given permission to wear one (sort of like being presented with an honorary degree), then you will have a very difficult time making a case for how wearing one is anything other than disrespectful, now that you know these things. If you choose to be disrespectful, please do not be surprised when people are offended… regardless of why you think you are entitled to do this."

idk why y'all are talking about the name like it's the only issue! it's not, its just an example, a little piece of evidence that shows the kind of person she is. i dont actually care about the name, i don't want her to just change it just for the sake of being politically correct, i'm not asking her to make any kind of gesture, do anything, i just want her to genuinely change as a person. i want her to be open minded and educate herself about POC issues. and P.S purely the name isn't why i'm saying she has a thing for appropriating hispanic culture, it's part of it, but it's not the only thing Mrs. "y cubano como yo" has shown so y'all can stop nitpicking at the little details and look at the bigger picture. she's an ignorant white woman who does not understand nor care, that's the issue. not the name

yeah but i'm not even talking about using slang. she literally herself said that the name was inspired by Colombians (or Cubans? i forget) and continued to push the hispanic image in her music. she also randomly decided to switch up and use certain slang when curating her "gangsta" persona. thats not the same as just speaking with slang

boomer behaviour in the midst of this thread pls. you're not special for knowing how languages develop over centuries. but theres a difference between natural cultural shifts on a massive scale and an individual white woman picking and choosing random cultural things for her aesthetic you're not seeing

i considered it to be about an abusive relationship where the man objectifies her sadness. sort of showing how she's totally emotionally and spiritually invested in the relationship, but he only cares about superficial things like sex, drugs, money, looking pretty, etc by tad bit i mean aside from the obvious satirical songs like FMWUTT, even songs that most people wouldn't consider satirical have a bit of irony in them, like the title track has lyrics that are intentionally so over the top and melodramatic. "he hit me and it felt like a kiss"

i feel like all of ultraviolence has a tad bit of self aware irony in it. a sort of "fuck you" to the criticism she got on born to die

The Grand Budapest hotel. It was pretty, visually. But not much else to it.

i was about to assume it was that too. it got old to the general public by that point and it was sort of redundant to try and criticize all of her songs. also the blow job/praying comparison has been done before by madonna anyways

may jail - her ? As in she may be jailed ? idk

it really isn't mental gymnastics or difficult at all to enjoy someones art/music but disagree with their politics or character
