Is this all there is to a woman, to these misogynistic fuckers? True, Lana put on some weight, but she’s no less gorgeous. With all the achievements she has, why is her weight all that’s talked about? And one thing nobody discusses ever is when a woman is thin, is it by having healthy habits? Because if thinness comes at the price of starvation or excess exercise, it’s not healthy. anyways, back to topic. I hope we get some news soon because yesterday was not a high point for this thread God I wish she still was active on Twitter.

Lol, who are you trying to fool? So, just because she put on weight, she should sit at home until she loses weight? 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Angel 202,174 Posted July 14, 2022 here’s my think-piece: it’s getting tiring seeing people on the internet constantly criticize & bash lana for everything she does, i understand completely why people are weirded out by her boyfriend, honestly, i am too, but i think it would be foolish to completely judge lana’s character & diminish her artistry because of it, lana’s made mistakes & has done some questionable things, but the way people act towards her specifically is especially ridiculous, people bring up things which she did YEARS ago (headdress, feminism comment, etc.) without taking a second to think that these things occurred years ago, she’s likely changed, & it’s not like she can travel back in time & stop herself from doing these things, i know qftc was something very complicated for everybody, including the fans, but it’s almost frightening to see how many people nowawdays can’t seem to comprehend or even think beyond their ego & try to look at things with a balanced & sensible approach, lana might not be perfect, she may even be strange, but there are celebrities who have done equally/worse things & have basically gotten away with it, there are celebrities who have commited horrible crimes & still have careers & supporters, people are so selective with their outrage, it’s sad to see, lana’s mistakes & questionable actions just do not compare to other celebrities who are still mostly loved & praised by the general public, & at the end of the day, lana’s boyfriends or comments she made a decade ago really have nothing to do with my love for her art, & i rue the day that somebody thinks i’m wrong just for enjoying her music, i don’t even know her, it wouldn’t even be right for me to say i love her so much as a person because i don’t actually know her, i just know the art & what she has chosen to share with the world, her art means so, so much to me, & there’s nothing that she has done which has ruined that for me, at the end of the day, lana’s not perfect, she may be flawed, but most celebrities are probably really weird as well, & so is everybody else on this planet, nobody’s perfect, we’ve all made mistakes, we all have quirks & flaws, i think people need to start realizing this because clearly people are losing the ability to understand that people are complicated & it’s fucking stupid to judge somebody’s entire existence off of one thing, when they don’t even know the entire situation 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shady 3,752 Posted July 15, 2022 I can't describe how much i love the "This place is so Lana Del Rey vinyyyyl 💅🏻" meme. Those were basically my thoughts when I see an old fashioned home with a huge garden of roses. I can also be super cocky for using that sound/quote and being an owner of a Lana Del Rey vinyl. Tiktok is doing q service for this fan base, not ruining it like some people may think. Also if Doja Cat or Ariana Grande had a boyfriend like that people would be defending them with their life. People are so empathetic to attention seeking celebs like the Kardashians but pick on Lana probably for not being good at defending herself. Why would anyone care about someone's partner unless he's a pedo, Nazi, racist etc. Where's that energy for Nicki Minaj's husband? If Lana's bf is gay or bi it's Lana's business and why would people care if she's obviously okay with it. 6 Quote I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lana is honestly so un-problematic overall, she's clearly got such a kind heart and some of her "controversies" were just misconstrued by the public and unfairly blown up. She's just been a target for hate since she first emerged and it seems like that will follow her forever to some degree. People are too dumb and lazy to take the time to understand certain things so they just jump on the bandwagon instead. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bringing up something someone said or did years ago for the sake of a viral tweet/moment, or in hopes to expose someone to appear virtuous and/or concerned about an issue is ridiculous and so overdone it comes across as disingenuous and creepy. There is a time and space to call someone's problematic behaviour out, but there should also be a place for atonement, otherwise the so called purity ring shrinks (news flash, no one is that pure or virtuous). The entitlement and online saviour complex/keyboard warriorism is laughable, obnoxious & rude. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She used to tell interviewers about how all she eats is junk food, spaghetti, and does a "lemonade diet" but no one was concerned about her "health" because she was skinny.

Chemtrail 3,101 Posted July 16, 2022 Does anybody know what she means by this in Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving?

I wanna see her Sidereal/Vedic chart I was just wondering when I'd find someone into Vedic astro on here. A jyotisha on twt believes she's an Ardra sun (tho highly debated/speculated she's Mrigashira sun depending on the accuracy of her birthtime being 16:47), Ashlesha moon (so still a Cancer queen in sidereal<3), and Vishaka ascendant (in Libra rashi) Tbh her sidereal chart reads as wayy more accurate than her tropical placements to me. Especially the Libra asc and the outcast, teardrop themes with Ardra. But I see the argument with Mrigashira a little bit. 1 Quote ☆♬○♩●♪✧♩ Life is just a bubble and it's filled with air ♩✧♪●♩○♬☆ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revadece 1,435 Posted July 17, 2022 it’s honestly kinda interesting to me how lana’s perspective on her music has changed. when she was talking about norman, she would be aware that it was “stripped down, sad girl music, not accessible for radio”. but 2 years later, she released 2 albums that are even more like that, and it didn’t seem like a big deal. i wonder if the qftc controversy made her realise that it’s better for her to take more indie direction and do things for herself rather than for the public Spoiler and to clarify, it doesn’t mean that i think it’s bad that she doesn’t release ‘pop’ music anymore. the last 3 albums are actually my favourite stuff from her, lol. and i know she’d always experiment with her sound and she has a lot of slower, indie songs on some of her older albums aswell (honeymoon is a great example), but she’d always have at least one pop-ish sounding song as single. nfr has doin time, but i don’t think chem/bb have any 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The industry is full of double standards so comparing them is quite realistic. It's not like Ari and Doja will see this and be offended. Omg Doja and Ariana got criticized so much that I didn't even notice despite being a fan of both of them. Of course you'll find a small amount of people who will criticize celebs for stuff like that. Almost every female celeb that dates an average to ugly dude gets criticized tho. Babe, it's kind of toxic to defend celebs at every cost even when they're in the wrong. If you do this, please find a better hobby. I never said that Lana is the only victim, she's just a low hanging fruit when it comes to internet dragging. 4 Quote I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
