to be honest I can hardly blame Lana for never wanting to straight up adopt the 'feminist' label  (despite clearly caring deeply for women & being aware of n regularly pondering on the patriarchy) after one of her first experiences with a self-proclaimed feminist was them throwing a book at her unprovoked lolol... that's one way to shoot yourself along w your cause right in the foot.

 

radical types like that will always drive others away & make it hard for people to want to associate with the "movement"/group or whatever you wanna call it

I totally agree w you. I remember watching her being interviewed on the red carpet (golden globes 2015 maybe?) and she said that she didn’t identify as a feminist. At the time, I was under the impression that she meant it in a negative way (very surface level assumption of me, I know) looking back, I really missed her point whether she identifies with the term “feminist” or not doesn’t really matter to me. I know that she supports all women and that’s what’s important

 

edit: I thought this was the random Lana discussion thread. Sorry for being off topic

this 2012 ass take, also barely anyone really understood what she was actually trying to say with QFTC and this proves that

Yeah, I was like, why do they still bring this up? Is this topic always going to be stuck in peoples’ heads? Positive or negative. Do we know a male singer, who’ve been categorized like that? 

This tired me up, I guess

Even with the change in date of the album release, I feel like this is the smoothest era so far in recent history. I think we quickly forget how uniquely awful the waiting period for NFR! was (I wasn't on LB at the time, but I remember waiting in annoyance through most of late 2018 to mid 2019), the disaster that was the COTCC announcement (+ the White Hot Forever announcement) and the radio silence making us think the whole album had been scrapped post-QFTC, and the total ambiguity of the Rock Candy Sweet -> Blue Banisters release dates. 

 

We really lucked out with Did You Know.

3 weeks ago some guys in class claimed they were not feminists because it's an unhinged movement of women showing their boobs at protests. I don't think it's really hard to differentiate things, it's not because some people do certain things that you have to associate a whole movement with those actions.

I know it's kinda off-topic and maybe moderators will move our comments elsewhere, but the topic has been resurfacing these past few days on twitter (and that's directly related to some of A&W's lyrics), but I read and agreed with a comment under a Youtube video criticizing Lana for qftc. Putting aside the name dropping that caught way too much attention, it sums up pretty well the main issue or questioning I had with her post. The comment said:

 

"also as someone whos been studying feminist movements for years i hate how shes acting like no feminist has ever advocated for more traditionally feminine women to be treated with respect and dignity when feminists HAVE advocated for these women. she doesnt understand that feminism isnt about rejecting traditional femininity, but about rejecting the idea that femininity is inferior to masculinity and giving agency for women (and everyone) to choose how they want to perform their gender identity without being ostracized. she doesnt understand feminism at all which is even more infuriating"

Yeah the only reason I get mad is because of people not supporting her. I've literally order all the variants (like always) so when COTCC got leaked I listened to it cuz I had in preorder already 12 variants 🥲 and now I have 16 in total 💀💀💀🤡

Exactly!

When we look back on NFR, there’s no way to determine what was the « lead » of this album… and even the next albums after that for that matter. And not that it should matter probably. 

Yeah, she’s an album artist, never been a single’s artist so it’s irrelevant for her. But for the sake of the continuity, I think we should just consider the lead the first song released. So for the last few albums: Love, MAC, LMLYLAW, Blue Banisters? (She released 3 at a time IIRC? So let’s just use title track), and now DYK.
