Lana Del Rey flicked my vagina.

it's not that we want an apology. It's that we want her to see that the reasons people were upset were valid, because they were... Even if her post was genuine (which I believe it was), the truth is she namechecked 6 women of color without actually being aware of those specific women's histories of being highly criticized. Their music has been and continues to be criticized.
 
As someone who has unconditional fan support, she should know that fans are not critics. And thus number 1's do not mean, unconditional acceptance.
 
Her refusal and doubling down is a slap in the face, because she's refusing to see the merits of these arguments. If she had let it be, she might have avoided needing to apologize but this second post is really really disappointing.

one more fucking thing, idk why this has got me so heated anyway but lana's energy is clearly rubbing off on me
 
what is the demand for an apology, if not a masturbatory abuse of the very idea of forgiveness, making it a pointless pursuit if it were at all in good faith to begin with?
 
nobody wants her to apologize so they can move on - they want her to apologize so that her apology can be deconstructed and something else that needs addressing can be derived from it
 
because nothing is ever fucking good enough when you live your whole life according to principles that change with the weather
 
(like how everyone's a fucking LGBT ally now, because if you aren't, you don't get to go to Pride and throw a party - at least not without having to question the integrity of your character, but that's tantamount to looking at yourself in the mirror, so instead we'll just tolerate the dykes and faggots for what they can give us in return, making us feel good about ourselves)
 
i was on tumblr for nearly a decade, i've seen this cyclical shit way too many times before
 
it is so incredibly disingenuous
 
about as deranged as Lana herself standing her ground when there are this many people desperate to watch her burn, piling the tinder up beneath her feet
 
I hate to see her do this to herself, that's all

Hopefully this all helps some of these 'stans' to understand the difference between a fan and a friend.

she's an artist. she's allowed to have opinions. shes not running for public office, she has 0 reason to be "diplomatic" 

mini rant: 
she's just standing up for herself and speaking her mind. why does someone have to be "in a dark place" to be unabashed. are we so conditioned to censoring ourselves, only the incapacitated can speak their minds? 
 

this is how easy it is to fake a DM

this. like imagine dealing with mental health issues your entire life, and then having your fans "concerned" about your mental health the second you decide to stand up for yourself.

if we're talking about the same video, notice the messages don't have a flag icon between the video and "i" icon. def fake. 

the "real video" of them clicking on her profile shows the person's phone going from 10% to 60%

weadorelana deactivated lol????? 

what makes you think she has not already? 

Well groupielover pretty much confirmed this and the fact that they're refusing to post what their friend said... hmm. 

methinks the chiken lovely
