These are so gross. This backlash is coming from an hour long phone interview she did about COCC and news outlets are misinterpreting quotes for clicks. I bet neither of you listened to her full interview and you're just believing what you're being fed. If you listened to the full interview you would understand what she said and hear the parts where she denounces Trump and talks about her support for Biden. And about the "question for the culture" letter, as other users said she named some the most popular names in music at the time and they all varied ethnicities. If you took time to read and understand both letters you would know that she was frustrated because the industry never fully accepted her because they said she was "glamorizing domestic abuse" when she was just speaking her truth. I would be frustrated and clap back as well if people were painting a fake "truth" about me.

She was glamorizing domestic abuse.

She was glamorizing sexual abuse.

By telling her truth and writing songs about her life? That's literally the same as saying Gaga is "glamorizing post traumatic stress disorder" because of the lyrics in Replay. Or saying that when celebrities open up about sexual assault they are glamorizing it. She wrote about how it affected her and made her feel. As someone that has experienced sexual assault her music has always helped me more than anything because I felt like I wasn't alone and it was life changing for someone to show me that you don't have to be completely broken by it and your life isn't over but you can use it to change your life for the better.

Come on, she’s not just writing songs about her life. Lana created a very specific universe and character. LA, diamonds, drugs, the beach, old Hollywood stars, mansions, decadence, vintage. I’m not saying her lyrics aren’t about her life because I know they are, but she makes it all beautiful and tragic at the same time with poetry. That’s literally what glamorizing life is. And then she puts domestic abuse into it, Ultraviolence, Lolita which is a very problematic story that... guess what? Glamorizes pedophilia. 
 

I’m a huge Lana Stan and all of these songs were and still are a big part of my life. But we need to see things for what they really are. She herself even recognizes some of this when she changes her lyrical content over the years and decides not to sing Ultraviolence anymore. My closest friend is also a Lana fan and when she was in her early 20s she was stuck in an abusive relationship and she thought it was beautiful, she related to what Lana was singing and didn’t see how harmful it was to her. She’s still a Lana fan but now she realizes how dangerous those lyrics can be.

I'm just shocked to see the wikipedia page of Chemtrails and all of those 5 star reviews, like that acclaim should've been for Norman Rockwell, which I liked way more. Now she's releasing another one in 3 months ? That's weird.

I can’t help but feel like it was misconstrued though. Granted, at face value it’s glamorisation - but it’s certainly more nuanced than that. 
Oftentimes I feel like she’s trying to get the message across that the relationship she speaks of is toxic, and although abuse was a poignant part of it and was normalised - in that period of time that is how it felt for her. 

Artists are always encouraged to write vulnerably and about their personal experiences, but when these experiences aren’t positive, they’re berated for it. 

I just think there’s a double standard with honesty in music, and if this honesty seems like glamorisation, then that’s indicative of the direness of the situation she speaks of. 

Note: the ‘he hit me and it felt like a kiss’ line of Ultraviolence, a common source that people use to support that argument, is actually a sample of The Crystals, and not a unique line written by her. 

 

(This isn’t aimed only at you @Bio, I was just on a roll and it become an essay lmao)
