    Apparently she started getting too obvious about being a christofascist and it became impossible for people to ignore in about 2014 or 2015 and between that and waiting 5 years to put out a poorly received album, the hype train was well and properly dead so she just coasted for a while and turned into a chud grifter a few years back.

        She doesn’t really do that much grifting. She only promoted a chud LA mayor who lost, otherwise she hasn’t really rocked the boat with her lib audience too much.

        Yeah from what I remember the real reason she fell off was that she never changed her sound from the club/party vibe that was popular in 2010, but people were tired of by 2015

        LOOOTS of

        spoiler

        sexual harassment, and sexualizing of minors

        , cultural appropriation is not longer as acceptable as it once was, and most importantly bad music, and awful outdated aesthetics. plus she was always problematic and super christian.

          When was she Christian and problematic, other than her very early pre-warped-tour career?

          I thought she was one of the types who tried and failed to pander to the gays (like how Meagan Trainer didn’t succeed at that either).

            I don’t think she was much of anything before 2008, I’m just going off the top of my head. I tried to look it up, but I can’t find it, but I remember when I kissed a girl came out. A lot of people were demanding that she renounced her homophobic church and she would not and she made a bunch of defending Christianity both sidesing it. When I tried to Google it now all I can find our recent interviews about her saying she was made to pray the gay away, So it looks like she’s denouncing them now many many years later.

      Christofascist? The only things I’m seeing about her and Christianity is that she was abused by Christians as a kid. Nothing about calling for god to be put into school or anything
