Honestly the amount of times Doja has been associated with Neo-n@zi stuff is too many, on top of inappropriately dunking on other serious topics way too many times.

The fact that that situation is one of the few times she took things seriously from the beginning makes all of the other times after look even worse.

The way Doja Cat is trying to use the satanic panic for her persona is basically the exact opposite of how Lil Nas X used the satanic panic in his music. When he utilized it for Montero, it was meant as him reclaiming demonic imagery after having it be used against him for his sexuality all his life. He took all the claims about how being gay was against God and took it to its most logical extreme. Doja Cat isn't really saying anything with the imagery, and whatever point she might've been making (fame is like selling your soul to the Devil yadda yadda) has already been said and done in more creative ways.

[@jupitersorbit9314]

Agreed. Lil Nas X's "Montero" was filled with symbolism and was actually interesting in its hellish imagery. The man is smarter than people give him credit for. He's also funny.

[@TinyGhosty]

Well said. It is just shock factor without the substance, like jump scares in crappy horror movies.

[@kityny]

Exactly and instead of her facing criticisms it's like she warped herself down into it all. Her use of devils isn't artistic nor symbolic, it's more like "Yeah I've changed, thanks for noticing. 😈" along with "Is this what you all wanted? I'm such a bad person let me show it in the most edgy way possible." as if taking some sort of pride, when really it just shows up as an edgy teen phase. It's so embarrassing. If you're going to use an oversaturated concept at least transform it somehow or don't use it at all, sheesh.

[@isa-ob7zz]

@@kitynythank youuu!!! ugh i feel the same way and you worded it so well

[@Ingydar_]

First of all saying owning demonic iconography by queer people is new is an uneducated statement. Queer history is full of it (not that Lil nas is unoriginal. I love the dude and that era of his music). Secondly the insinuation that iconography in art should be tied to someone's life and trauma is just bad art analysis. By that logic you would think Lovecraft was called cthulu in his middle school. Thirdly, the songs were bops and the marketing is awesome and that's art and your opinion is wrong

[@itszenbaby]

The rest of Scarlet is a mix of genres and definitely not pop. You have to have a few radio-friendly songs just to keep the label happy, which is why Attention, PTTR and Demons was released first…Think about it, if she released Scarlet first instead of Hot Pink, she wouldn’t have blown up. But now she has the recognition and accolades she can do other things and not worry about making money for the label.

[@JV-vc1zf]

I'm GENUINELY curious about other people's opinion on this matter because I can't settle on where I stand on it. One one hand, that guy definitely did abuse his influence, but on the other, as D'Angelo said, he hasn't since (as far as we know). We obviously don't owe him anything, but if he did "grow" from it or whatever, and Doja Cat can see that, what is she supposed to do? It's really easy to say "I would break things off immediately" but I'm just not sure everyone calling her out would actually do that IRL. They know each other on a much more personal level, so while we can publicly refuse an apology or refuse to give him any kind of platform, I don't think anyone (aside from the people involved) can make a FULL judgement on it. I don't know what I would do if a person I really seemed to like was being called out for past behavior that has maybe been worked on since then. I feel like if she wrote a long explanation saying how he's changed or something would just yield the same response and wouldn't really convince any of us that he's a better person now. Blocking is pretty aggressive though.

i definitely wish we had more information on the whole situation, we’re definitely missing pieces of the picture here. however, his actions were bad enough that he did come out & issue an apology. if he is remorseful & has changed his behavior, i don’t think his past should be held against him forever (as long as he didn’t assault anyone, but i don’t think anyone accused him of that). that being said, if a victim comes forward to you for any reason, you should at least hear them out. doja could’ve offered a simple “that’s not who he is anymore” or “i don’t condone grooming” vs literally BLOCKING them & going on to call others miserable hoes. you can let your fans know you’re disappointed with their behavior or that they’ve overstepped your personal boundaries without being hateful J cyrus also could have stepped in at any time to come to his own defense side note: TWENTY or more women came forward, that’s a lot of people! i can’t be for sure, but it’s likely that there’s more victims who didn’t come forward. this is someone who has affected a lot of people. his victims at least deserve to have their voices be heard idk, i’d definitely like to see if anyone comes forward with any screenshots or other evidence (not that they owe us that)

[@nixuniverse5240]

I’m not religious but I kinda understand why people are fatigued with the demonic imagery in the music industry; and it’s mostly because no one is doing anything unique with it. It’s literally just black or red demons running around and nothing else. Say what you want about Lil Nas X but at least he did something different.

[@lesvianaura]

Yeah thats how I feel about it too. Like okay, demons. What's the reasoning for it? With Naz it was symbolism for his Sexuality and how he felt shame for it before accepting it. It was nice and fresh and wasn't just doing this to be edgy. Can't say the same for doja tho..

also because it’s so shallow and almost always completely missed the point. artists try to switch the narrative about selling their souls which is just a metaphor for sacrificing their integrity for money and fame, when in reality that’s not something to be proud of at ALL. so much of it is rooted in capitalism and materialism and i’m tired of seeing these brain dead idiots bury the point beneath shitty music videos and cash grabs on tiktok. embarrassing.

I even like most of her music that I've heard, it's just absurd to watch her do this schtick of pretending her music is something it's not. She's clearly aware of it on some level what with the "it's gonna be a german house/jazz/rnb album" bit, but at the end of the day, under all the layers of irony and trolling- it does seem like she enjoys the type of music she makes, but wants to make people believe it's more countercultural, because she dislikes the fan base she's accrued.

I was a member of JCyrus' twitch community at the time of the big collapse. I was not one of the women he solicited nudes from/lead on, nor was I in their close social circle on discord, but I can tell you a little about what it was like there. It was safe, like a warm blanket. Everyone knew everyone's names, not their screen names but their NAMES. You'd show up and say hi and everyone would greet you like Norm from Cheers, including Jeff himself if you frequented the stream enough. It was full of lovely, kind people, and Jeff took advantage of this. He branded himself as a safe person, because look how safe and inclusive the stream is, right? He always made a point to thank us for being so wonderful, sometimes cry (probably crocodile tears in hindsight), and always always ALWAYS thanked his mods... on stream. A close friend of mine learned from one of the mods that he would frequently have them on discord calls screaming at them... these sweet hardworking people volunteering their time to moderate his chat. ALL behind closed doors, of course, so we all thought he really loved and respected and treated them well. We thought he was a genuine, trustworthy person. And then the women started coming forward. And it felt like the world falling down around us, because during covid we would all come together and spend all day at the stream or in his discord. Many of the victims of his mistreatment have private twitters with the exact details of their situations which I will not air out as many of them wish to move on with their lives, but all share a common thread of being made to feel special, to feel CHOSEN, and then used for their bodies one way or another, then dropped like a bad habit as soon as he was done. I've seen these women - they are all incredibly conventionally attractive. He is or at the very least was a manipulative snake who will NEVER regain the trust of those who were there when this all went down.

Sometimes I see him streaming and it makes my stomach actually hurt. Sometimes it was hard not to feel sorry for him, but really I just feel pity. He took advantage and would've kept on doing it with the excuse of his mental health in his back pocket. And with the way he came back, and the way he's letting Doja defend him knowing he was in the wrong, it just lets me know that he was never sorry in the first place. He never learned a lesson and def never worked on himself.

[@rosehipowl]

100% my opinion on her, so glad someone else said it. she needs to get a good therapist and get off the internet for a while, like her entire personality is based on shitty 4chan and reddit threads and "it was a prank bro!!!". she needs to stop being so defensive and find her actual personality that isn't """trolling""" or mocking/shouting back at women who had been abused. that's not funny and it's not ~cool feminist empowerment~ or whatever shit her fans have said about her behaviour. I'm older than her and was essentially raised on the internet, too, but somehow I managed to grow out of my edgy teenager phase and realised I was just being a little shit to everyone. "ummm it's post-irony nothing is sacred" shut up past me, maybe you were just being a knob. anyway here's hoping Doja Cat gets out of hers soon, although considering her age... fingers crossed you know.

[@Neomie92]

I actually don't think she has any interest in quitting. She has done none of the work or commitment to quitting - if she wanted to do so, she could and would. Of course she is super famous but if she just decided to be a recluse, invest her money and never make music again, another version of her will pop up in the next few years with a different twist on it. Doja is insanely talented but the world is huge and talent is (almost) endless. There's tons of poor kids around the world with more talent than her that we never get the privilege of hearing. The reality is that Doja doesn't want to stop being rich and influential (and I don't blame her). All of this is a farce. Otherwise, she wouldn't constantly be on live and doing crazy things to gain attention and profiting off the new Satanic Panic. She knows what she is doing and she doesn't want to stop being in the limelight, she is just insecure. Ofc none of us actually know her but based on what I've seen I think she's super friggin insecure & defensive and I think she doesn't view pop music as good and valid music (SO untrue) because she spends her time with edgelords who have probably convinced her that the fact that a bunch of GenZ girls and gays love her music means it's garbage. This is why she has started hating her fans and saying she wants to make 'real rap'. She's insecure.@@sillycheese301

Then going on a rant, where it wasn't troll/meme, she seemed very angry, about how some of the artist she likes does horrible things, and she doesn't care about the horrible things, she can still enjoy all of it. It made me think of all the people defending her for working with Dr. Luke, when she pretty much admitted there she didn't care in the first place.But again, I was not her fan, I thought some of her songs were catchy, but she's kind of just to annoying to me personally at this point.

As far as her blocking people on twitter (I'm not sure if she blocked any of the actual victims, the girl D'Angello showed in the video didn't seem to claim to be a victim, she was just giving her account as a minor who was in the community), with how many people were going nuts and lying about the situation it would've been very hard for her to know who was telling the truth and who was just insane. I don't quite think it's fair to expect her to comb through the tweets of everyone she wants to block to make sure they're telling the truth when there were likely dozens of accounts she blocked. But her initial response to being called out for saying the f-slur was INSANE. The following responses really just read like pr to me, and the fact that she defended her use of the f-slur is utterly absurd, and by far the worst thing she's ever done.

I love your videos D’Angelo and you always have great takes, so needless to say I absolutely respect your opinion here. But I’m not sure that I agree with your assessment of Doja Cat. Obviously this was made before the neo-nazi shirt fiasco, and you couldn’t have known or reported on that at the time, but I think she was already on a trajectory towards that kind of unforgivable behavior even when you posted this. Like others have said in the comments, the chat room stuff is actually quite a bit more serious than you alluded to here, and pretty well documented. From what I read it wasn’t just conjecture from fans, she was actually saying and doing some pretty wild stuff, and that shouldn’t just be brushed aside if people are uncomfortable with it. Also, I don’t think that her blatant disregard of and cruelty towards her fans can just be written off as trolling. I don’t think it’s parasocial to want, if not love, than basic respect from an artist that you support, and I think that it is valid for fans to take offense to those statements. Even if they aren’t truly ill-intentioned, she doesn’t get to decide whether her words have hurt people. I really hope you’ll make an addendum to this following the neo-nazi shirt incident because I’d love to hear your thoughts.

The storm was so big it destroyed people's houses, people lost their pets, got injured and as far I know people died too. The 3 days she stayed in Paraguay she never said hello or something to the people stayed to receive her (before the storm happened). Nobody complained about it, everyone agreed it wasn't a big deal if she didn't wanted to come out the hotel to say hi. The problem started because Doja complained saying "nobody was waiting for her", that they didn't welcomed her and I think even called them like 'fake fans' AFTER all the storm thing, after people lost family, their house, mascots, etc. One of her tweets also was worded inappropiately, looking like if she was mocking people for 'drowning'. At the end she just blamed Paraguayans and played victim, saying she would quit music because of them There was also videos of people who worked at the hotel she stayed and said she especified she didn't wanted them to look at her directly at the eyes. But this one could be fake tho

[@justtester_9962]

@@_makocap_3562 I don't think she was in Paraguay for a full 3 days. Also, wasn't there some famous blogger in Paraguay that posted something fake and people thought it was Doja? And when she saw people attacking her she was confused and clapped back and made things worse. Then somebody started calling her racist but I think it was probably somebody in the US and not Paraguay. Either way, I don't know if it was ignorance or lack of experience on Doja's part and her people not saying something like Miley and MGK did.

[@bebitachiflada]

I just have to point out that one of Doja’s albums (or EPs) is named Amala. No one had to go out of their way to dig through legal documents to find her birth name. It makes total sense a fan would use her name in order to also reference this album.

Doja is an INCREDIBLE dancer and performer. I’ve loved her for a minute. It’s wild how much she shits on her old stuff, when some of it clearly had a lot of her heart in it. Her lying about her fan base name and being antagonistic to her fans is so odd to me. A lot of her actions outside of fan interactions are gross. Disappointing

[@niamhcorrigan3972]

Genuinely so tired of people pretending like saying something and then calling people stupid for believing you isn't manipulative. When you're contantly jerking your fans around and they never know when you are or aren't serious, you get that jail out of free card of "it was just a joke"/"you're too dumb to get it". Pretending her behavior is any deeper than her being immature and insecure and thinking being a dick is funny does a disservice to artists. She doesn't have to say she loves her fans but she cannot just pretend they started it. Just kind of cringe, as someone who really enjoys the alt scene and use of religious imagery as metaphors. She's trying too hard.

@@razorscootervs.ankles8152 there was proof of it, and yeah i 100% believe we shouldn’t attack just her, but when she started blocking and silencing his victims i lost the SMALL remaining amount of respect i had for her, she already gave me weird vibes when she got mad at noah. i used to love doja, the way she degraded her fans could’ve been something i looked past, but it was the fact that it was over them CALLING out his predatory behavior of grooming his exes and she basically said “fuck off i don’t care” she is someone who’s said she stands for women and then silenced them. i don’t have any respect for her, 🤷

[@razorscootervs.ankles8152]

@@bunmooon there was no proof of him grooming, being a rapist or a pedo. Like I said there was only proof of him apologize for what he did to his twitch mods and chat which was manipulation. If you have proof of the other "allegations" you should start providing it. You can't call twitter Stan accounts "victims" as you don't know who those people are, anybody can call themselves a victim on twitter without proof, it's intellectually dishonest to just immediately believe it. It makes sense for her to block people spreading rumors about her bf and putting it in her replies, what is she supposed to do with that information?

[@greenhouseghostie]

in some way, Doja's rise to fame reminds me of Lady Gaga's debut. they are both extremely talented and make earworms that are begging to top the music charts, but they also have a particular skill of memeing themselves into being the hottest topic of conversation. Gaga did it with her crazy outfits, and Doja does it with behavior on social media. the main difference is, Gaga was always over-the-top theatrical so it was always pretty clear that she was putting on a performance, while Doja seems to be a genuine troll. she has perfected the art of stirring up drama and using it as free publicity. the downside is, she tends to get lost in the memehole and the lines get blurry. it's sometimes hard to tell how much of her trolling is performative and how much is a defense mechanism to protect herself from crazy online fans (and haters).

It’s crazy how this drama simply doesn’t exist for people who aren’t terminally online. I asked my mom and my brother’s fiancé both about this and neither had heard about any of it. I want what they have so badly.

[@sutpecna]

I haven't either lol I only knew her through the Say So hit song from 2020, mostly through outside references, and that was it. Her entire stage personality is very much tied to internet culture and, even though there's nothing inherently wrong with it, it ends up being very contained within internet circles and apparently within her own fan base.

[@FrumiousMing8]

I didn't know about most of it either lmao, I'm online I just don't have Twitter and never use Instagram xD The only thing I was aware of was the Noah Schnapp because I watch Stranger Things 😅

[@justtester_9962]

Glad you brought that up, because back in the day when music and movies became a big commercial business, record labels and movie studios realized very early on how important image and perception was to their bottom line. They used to do everything to control the narratives about their stars, and that's when PR (public relation) became a crucial thing for them. It feels now that with the advent of the internet, that model seems to have been totally neglected. Investment in artist development is nonexistent, and we see the consequences when everybody has their own platforms.

[@lolcandyyy]

I got her confused for a totally different singer (tbf I do that a lot because many singers basically have the same vibe) and I have not listened to her music at all, but the clips make it sound generic and not interesting for me personally 😅 I’m always on YT!

[@liteflightify]

I agree that what she’s said isn’t good for the long term. But who knows, maybe she doesn’t intend on having more than one more mainstream era. Let us also not gaslight. People have definitely bullied her and created narratives about her with little to no evidence. It’s not a surprise that she would lash out considering her personality type. It’s certainly not mature. But we need to stop acting as if it’s happened for no reason.

[@FriendshipIsMagic1998]

@@dennistmennaceI think it’s different because as bad as CB is he’s never really disrespected his own fans. He really seems to appreciate his fanbase and wouldn’t insult them. He seems to know not to bite the hand that feeds him which is something that Doja Cat clearly hasn’t learned.
