i yelled out loud at this it's 3AM oh my god lmao

when i found out anthony fantano was significantly left-wing i remember being shocked lmao, he really doesn't strike me as the type uninterested in hearing his take tbh, i find his opinions typically derive from those of others anyway

honestly in 2012 she would've written to a singular individual in a youtube comment asking them to sit and spin on it this is a logical extension of that behavior 8 years later, it's by no means better tho, only more caustic

"you're boring me to death and i'm already dead" teas

look, at the end of the day if Azealia Banks can act the way she does and still be relatively successful (or at least, still actively releasing music - thank god) Lana will absolutely get away with this and that does have to do with race lmao, but that's a different conversation

i PRAY that the use of a tropico gifset was like highly intentional

facts only

well, it is semi-public knowledge that lana has done a lot of volunteer work in the past (and didn't she come on record saying the headdress was a gift to her from back then) - meanwhile, gwen stefani has been the queen of cultural appropriation since 2004 lmao they'd easily give ND a much harder time for that reason alone

tbh it's her pop feminist notion that most of the problem is women tearing down women, that's why

ohhhhhhh jfc she shouldn't have gone there i'm sure twitter dug up the ride video like 10 minutes ago

she really did, thank god

to be fair, the media was nothing less than vicious to her, for over half of her career - so i think she's earned that chip on her shoulder (i would hold a grudge too), i just wish she hadn't called anyone out by name we wouldn't be here rn if not for the wokescolds rushing in to cancel her for a clumsy turn of phrase, they've made it about racism when that was never the fucking point lmao lana's just saying that she can't participate in this whole "i'll choke you out between my pussy lips" type of attitude that's been going on among female artists for a while which is a great attitude to have - it's just not hers to claim, she admitted that herself, but she shouldn't have to suffer for that - when she brings a different perspective to the same conversation, she's not trying to shut anything down that doesn't mean lana has any right to attack these female artists for being perceived (not by them, but by the public) as though she is trying to set them back, don't get me wrong - but i don't think that's what she was doing, she was just calling out the industry for enabling this hypocrisy as it is, though, she's making herself look like the villain but she's too preoccupied seeing herself as the victim (which is closer to the reality of things, to be fair) yikes

the problem with lana is that she makes herself look self-absorbed, whether or not her concern for the greater question (in this case, the perceived legitimacy of one form of feminine self-expression vs another, and their respective validity in art) is genuine, because she seemingly has to relate everything back to herself this has consistently been the case whenever she's spoken up about social issues, it makes her look tone-deaf even though she isn't necessarily i appreciate her raw honesty, but with the way the world is atm, you have to - not neuter your self-expression, but certainly be more aware of what it could imply to someone who's looking for a reason to put your down and look like the better person for it in this instance, i would have preferred for lanz to not have said a thing, and for her poetry or the upcoming album to have done all the talking for her she could've taken cover behind her art - even though people have a fixed and incredibly reductive idea of who she is, so they would have complained anyway (as they did with BTD and UV and everything else the woman has ever put out) i honestly don't think she cares about the threat of being cancelled though, with everything she feels that she's been through this just perpetuates her narrative that all people ever do is attack her though that's the thing, it's like the snake eating itself

oh, nice well, sis just cancelled herself by only namedropping black artists (aside from Ari - but isn't she practically an honorary POC at this point lmao) and ostensibly feeding into the racial stereotype that these women are wanton but she, by virtue of being white, isn't (even though she literally makes a reference to Dance For Money in her next sentence and that wasn't what she was saying at all) rip i will say she made several points though, i only wish she thought a bit more about phrasing and maybe realized that anything that comes out of her mouth people will take as advocacy (because everything's fucking literal these days and art isn't allowed to be itself anymore) also presave WHF out sep 5th

what the fuck is going on can someone catch me up lmao

her mind was honestly so powerful

DIET MT. DEW BABEY!!!!!

as opposed to someone who has?

which of her songs do we think are about Barrie, can someone remind me healthy meal, nvm

Mint juleps - but they're not on the menu.

ngl i'm all for her indulging her love for pseudoscience, but at this point i'm waiting for a MLM scheme to pull her in hook line nd sinker
