She has to learn to deal with it and continue what she’s doing, saying nothing won’t work either as they just pick apart her songs and misinterpret stuff. Really it’s her fans that will suffer in the long run from lack of communication and presence. 3 Quote Arches are Illusions solid at first glance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cmon it's Lana, if someone ever told her to stay quiet she'll probably post qftq pt.2 just to mess with them . And I don't even think insiders can have that kind of info. They can have music and even the whole rollout of an era but I don't think there is a written paper or file that it says "oh and for this era we told Lana to stay quiet in her releases" insiders actually can have the info, it’s not just music. BOZ literally has access to EVERYTHING and knows every album rollout to heart it’s insane. remember when he told us about the exclusive vinyls for chemtrails? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Movie 50,663 Posted June 5, 2021 I think people are kind of starting to get the idea that Lana owes us constant interaction and social media presence, which isn't true at all. There are multiple celebrities who aren't even on social media at all and still do well/have a good relationship with their fans. If she wants to be less active on Instagram and Twitter for this era, that's totally fine with me, especially with everything that's gone on in the past year or so. Just seeing her comment section on the triple single post she made (and has since deleted) kind of made me understand why she would not be active if she's doing it intentionally. I could go on and on about the parasocial relationship thing and how it relates to Lana/her fans, but for now, I'm just going to say that I hope she's doing well mentally and taking care of herself. I've also been spending a lot more time with the singles since summer started for me and I'm loving them even more than I did before. Text Book has grown on me a lot. 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It creates this eco chamber where out of touch celebs say the same thing and pet themselves on the back for being so brave and moral. I would prefer the majority of celebs being "airheads" with only a few who genuinely care about politics than this. The ratings of the Oscars and Grammys shows how the public reacts to bullshit but they can't seem to get it. This has gone so far that celebs have become propaganda tools. How moral is a celeb who knowingly has young fans like Ariana and Billie and encourages them to vote for a democrat president and have a certain ideology? They're all for equality but don't bother to tour everywhere else that isn't the US, UK, west Europe, Japan and AUS. As for Lana, she isn't far from them. She's trying to jump on the bandwagon but fails to catch the train. Dumping Kanye over being a republican? Kanye is batshit crazy but it's pretty disturbing if you decide that people who vote for a different party don't deserve to be friends with you. She reacted so poorly when people joked that she was a republican instead of laughing it off like in that furry livestream. She can still be a democrat but expressing it in a different way would suit her more. She doesn't seem radical at all giving by her her QFTC statement but I understand the pressure from her environment. 14 Quote I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She doesn't seem radical at all giving by her her QPTC statement but I understand the pressure from her environment. Honestly I agree with everything but this part. I think it's okay to distance yourself from people who have different political views provided you let people have an opinion about things you may not agree on. For example, I'm pro-choice and I know there are people out there who are pro-life, but after all, they're people who are allowed to have an opinion, even if that opinion is damaging (but hey, it's a great opportunity to have a debate). Yeah it sucks to admit, but that's life and that's how humans work. At the end of the day, we can't force people to think the same way as us. It's quite literally impossible and you have to be a realist to truly understand that you can't just 'shun' people from speaking about certain topics that differ from your own, but we can surround ourselves with people who are likeminded to us to achieve inner peace for our own wellbeing 8 Quote ♡ standing stoic blue and denim, eyes not blue but clear like heaven ♡ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
