I know r/lanadelrey was bad before, but now only an atomic bomb can fix it. this shi right here is just insanity

 

Oh, yeah - 'Off to the Races' the political manifesto! Would a song about murder make it okay to date a serial killer? It's fascinating the mental gymnastic to justify her actions. Politics don't matter? Tell that to the people killed by transphobic policies. this shit had almost 300 upvotes.

The way this post is written is so specifically ‘Lana Del Rey fan’. Like, this fandom has such a reputation for pretentious, airy fairy rhetoric that comes across as a poor Lana dialect impression… Being a fan of Lana has given these people such a false sense of intellect and I see it across all sides of the internet where Lana fans are present. 

 

‘The disregard is palpable. Our souls play a game far beyond our temporary concerns’ what does that even mean you just sound like an idiot

I feel like Reddit, as a whole, is populated by a disproportionate amount of bored straight men and /lanadelrey is no exception

Maybe I'm way off,  but most of the crack in the screenshots is consistent with that

"Woman marries man who isn't me,

woman must be a man" is the unhinged cousin of "she won't go out with me so she must be a lesbian"

It was the "lesser genders and races" comment for me

25% of the LDR subreddit is just random str8 men posting stupid shit like, “Am I gay for liking Lana?” No baby but you are for making this post!

no straight man actually needs external validation on whether they’re straight. I hope they come to term with their deep desire to suck a dick.

one thing that really annoys me about Reddit as a whole is just the blatant bandwagoning. it  explains why it’s not surprising that posts like this receive over two hundred upvotes. It might even say more about society in general than about this specific case. There are women and girls who actually enjoy this kind of shit

i hate reddit anyways and find it confusing, ended up deleting every account i’ve ever made on there

but best believe when a reddit page is suggested for my very specific problem, i’m clicking it

[X8vinylScratchX 4,198]

Oh no we’re split 50/50 between posting Lana marriage support reddit posts and Lana marriage hate reddit posts.  We’re eternally divided

 

Spoiler

Also, are there any straight men on Lanaboards? Not that it matters, i’m just curious demographics wise

There's a few of us, but most I meet here or elsewhere tend to be older (not elderly, as some would have us, but let's just say older than Lana herself).

That’s cool to know. Obviously the “am i gay if i listen to Lana?” thing is prevalent on reddit. I’m straight and i’m 22 and a fan of Lana, although i come from a completley different community and subculture from pop music. It feels kind of taboo to bring up just due to the epidemic of reddit comments like that. Target demographics are just demographics after all, and people should feel confident in the things they like without feeling guilty for arbitrary reasons.

Speak for yourself! I used to be a straight man until I started listening to her. But then I listened to Cola once, and started peeing sitting down. Now I’m a gay woman married to another gay woman. It’s a slippery slope

Of course. Peeing sitting down is a prerequisite to being a Lana fan. I’m only at step 1…
