Finally had the time to read through this thread and... Ellen had to apologize multiple times for NO REASON? For financing the website we are all using? For putting a lot of work in it?  I first clicked "No" on the poll, but after reading her post switched it to "Yes". Some users had some good ideas though and I'm pretty sure the mods will take them into consideration.
 
 

It‘s always the same. So many celebrities are promoting expensive champagne or their make up line while people lose their jobs thanks to COVID and poor country won‘t have a single dose of the vaccine in the next months. And yet people decide to be mad at Lana because she sends a message of condolence to a man who was born almost 100 years ago and doesnt pass the purity test of 2021 

Why do you even mix it with „things she had said in the past“? Why do you have higher expectations for her than everybody else- just because you like her music?
 
You said Lana is not God, then don‘t treat her like one by saying that her post is supporting a „racist institution“. It‘s not a big deal, it‘s just a post.

But how is posting a picture of him the same thing as endorsing everything you mentioned? I really do think we have bigger issues right now and that we are holding her (again) to higher standards than other people / popstars. It‘s a message of condolence and admiration of a marriage that lasted 70 years, not an approval of racism.

This is pure cringe. She sent a message of condolence with that post, which is a kind thing to do. Saying that she endorses a „problematic institution“ shows that nowadays people try to cancel you for everything they can.
 
And you are not „holding her accountable“ my edgy friend, you‘re doing nothing.

like it's obvious the monarchy's just a kind of cultural show of some sort. equality's been getting into the spotlight fortunately lately. the person's already quite dead. beating someone down already in the grave not only seems disrespectful, it's also a waste of time. like, focus on those who are still able to cooperate and change if that's really ur motive u know. 

Here's how I think things went:
 
Lana: Oh, Prince Philip died? Let me find some cute pics to let ppl know I simply acknowledge his death. Oh, found some! Aw Philip and Elizabeth look so young and loved up here, I think I'll post them.
Instagram: OMFG TAKE THIS DOWN NEOW! Cancelled! Omfg u racist bitch. They're gonna come for u sis sksks. She's over. Omg delete this bestie.
Lana: Wait what happened?
 
Like this is LITERALLY how it went down 

I feel like Miles Kane took the best song from their writing sessions. He said that all their other songs didn’t make the cut because they were slow, John Lennon like ballads and I don’t necessarily need more of that from Lana

But even if she knew it: So what? That‘s what monarchies have done for centuries and up until recently. Marrying your cousin is obviously not a good idea, but back in the day it was quite normal. And we can we still show empathy when someone has died, no? 

Sorry, but this is 100% bullshit
My country had a referendum about this wayyyy back in the 90s in which the people were asked, but since then, nothing. It had all these fucky clauses such as allowing the govt to choose the president instead of allowing the people to vote for one, etc. 
It isn't simple to leave; there are many implications. 
I couldn't remember why you were on my block list but now I do, so thanks. 

Exactly. Reading the room in this case doesn't mean not to express condolences, it means to shut the hell up for a day and be respectful. I see "woke" people literally celebrating the death of a person and it disgusts me so deeply. I have no problem with Lana's posts.

80% „DELETE“ / „I CANT DEFEND YOU ANYMORE“ / „ NO LANA NO“
10% „THEY WERE COUSINS“
5% „THEY ARE MONARCHS“
5% „BORN TO DIE“
