It's a concept,

Art,

 

Isn't it supposed to provoke thought and controversy,

If Lana did it, I'd back her 100 °/•

its only wrong if a female singer does it but when movies make the same recreation or use the same idea nobody bats an eye

 

some points were made

You of all people would think that a take like this is taste

I feel like Lana would still be doing outrageous and "controversial" things for her music if it weren't for how oversensitive people are these days.

[UltraHeroin 8,803]

Wow, people really are going crazy

There's more to Sylvia Plath than her death... Sure, it's «memorable» in its tragedy, but her work is what we should remember her for. If she pulls out a video for this one, I'm curious for what's it gonna be: the lyrics are dark and it would be easy to go down the tragic path, and yet, you have to be «respectful» to Sylvia Plath.

Honestly, now that the title is changed, I don't think she'll even reference Sylvia much. There only seems to be one mention of her in the lyrics, I thought before the whole song would have lines of her poetry. I feel like the overarching concept has changed a bit

This is what Say Yes To Heaven thinks I did to my boyfriend

Lady Gaga wore a meat dress, what's stopping Lana?

Probably the pressure to not do anything that could be problematic or morally wrong. 

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Here's how I see it.

 

Lana (and many other artists) have re-created the JFK assasination in their music. Why would Sylvia's death scene be different? JFK's death had more of an impact on people than Sylvia's. A death is a death, wether it be by assasination or suicide.

Personally I don't think Lana would stick her head in the oven for a video, but I wouldn't be entriely against it. Would it be distasteful? Perhaps. But art is art. Sometimes it's not supposed to be respectful and pleasant. Think of how many movies depict famous people's death? People need to stop being so sensitive.

Lana was never really "controversial" in a way that would offend people, just in that her music and persona were divisive and people disagreed with the messages in her lyrics. She never pulled any controversial stunts. Why would she start now?

[Cacciatore 19,347]

There's so many ways an artist can be controversial and push people's buttons without being disrespectful towards someone's death y'all edgy gays are too much

What's controversial can be subjective and what people think is wrong or problematic can vary depending on the person. I don't think any she's done was in any way bad. But other people might have a problem with things like "He hit me and it felt like a kiss".

 

And Lana saying "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" definitely stirred some controversy. Even though it's more funny and shock factor if anything.

She's a baddie now.

That's a great example actually. The "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" line was controversial but was based on Lana's own past experiences and what she felt at a time. But recreating someone else's death just for the sake of being "controversial" and artistic or whataver y'all wanna call it (and profit on it) is disrespectful in many levels.
