A buncha people think Lana had no business mentioning fellow artists while trying to make her point, and stan Twitter has ARRIVED:

And basically everyone is coming for Lana, to the point where a new meme has been born:

Lana hasn’t responded to the backlash, but in her statement she wrote, “With all of the topics women are finally allowed to explore, I just want to say over the last 10 years, I think it’s pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles in my relationships has often made people say I’ve set women back hundreds of years.”

She also said she’d be exploring this topic in her new books of poetry and in her upcoming album out September 5.
