Your posts have a very strange attitude. On the one hand, you seem to take pleasure in pointing out minor hypocrises and supposed sellouts of Grimes that, in many cases, no one but you even noticed. That post where you (falsely) claimed she signed to Sony comes to mind. She isn't on a major label but you wanted her to be, so you could appear to praise her for being on one, while really spreading false publicity about her that most people other than you would react to negatively (and you knew that people would hate her for "selling out" and wanted to spread this false rumor for that exact reason). Your passive aggressive attitude actually reminds me of the person I think Flesh Without Blood is about. I imagine if that person was so jealous of Grimes she created a reddit account and posed as a Grimes stan in order to really spread negative rumors about Grimes, she would make exactly the posts you make. The use of "lemonade" in your name is also interesting.

Obviously there are many people who take issue with the Stella campaign, since this is really the first time Grimes has done anything that can even be seriously argued to be "selling out" (until now, Grimes has actually "sold out" much less than almost any other indie musician, in every measurable way) but the issue of selling out in this way is regarded as passé and basically nobody is going to hate her only for that. However, until you made a whole thread about it, the additional, very minor but potentially- because it's more political- more disastrous hypocrisy that she wore silk while talking about sustainability was not being pointed out by people. Now it's fine if you want to be critical of her and call her out on these things and try to create a social media drama about it. What's messed up is that you simultaneously pretend your threads are defending her and helping her support herself, when what you're actually doing is unearthing new vulnerabilities in her image, things that may actually end up costing her both financially and in terms of the wide artistic influence she seeks- if thanks to your posts, she is branded a hypocrite, Grimes' career as a perceived as relevant artist (which Pop arists need to be) may be shortened in the way MIA's has been. You are helping marginalize Grimes, just like that piece of shit NY Times writer and Pitchfork piece of shit Matthew Perpetua when they did their MIA negs in 2010 over the truffle fries non-issue, silencing her dissent against war crimes, racism, surveillance and capitalism.

Grimes also has things to express ideologically- like all Pop stars she is a spiritual leader- and you are giving ammunition to her enemies to crucify her (on issues you yourself admit are unintentional errors and things you don't even care about!). You're like Pontius fucking Pilate as played by Bowie... pretending you're just a neutral observer sympathetic to Grimes, while actually handing her over to her haters, to have her destroyed. You're constantly negging her under the pretense of praising her. It's fucked up.

I don't know what's going on with the California video, but if it ever drops, we can expect some backlash because even many of her fans don't like the song. Once the musical backlash begins, it will open the way for all the people who hate Grimes on a deeper level but silenced themselves last year out of fear of going against the pro-Grimes trend. People like the ones in that panel of critics for Spin magazine assembled in 2013 by now-Pitchfork writer Jessica Hopper. Hopper poses as a Grimes fan but this may be because she was hoping Grimes would do a lucrative Pitchfork interview and make up with her for what she did to Grimes. Instead, Grimes not only avoided helping out Pitchfork by doing an interview- she actually went so far as to ask Tidal to rewrite the introduction to the "5 albums that changed my life" article to remove any references to Pitchfork and any (positive sounding) quotes about Grimes, quotes written by Hopper.

My point is that these people, Hopper and friends, are going to be very eager to destroy Grimes in the near future if they see the slightest weakness, and your posts are helping spread talk about various alleged weaknesses. We already know Pitchfork, being a fashion rather than art focused publication, shifts with trends, and just loves building up artists only to neg them enough that others (less subtle) will come in and destroy them. Why do you think "rococo" is the word Grimes has used in her Twitter profile since AA? She knows what's coming. They have even done this to the Kanyes, Radioheads and Arcade Fires- even most of the so called fans of these artists turn against them once Pitchfork does, because most people were only ever fans because they felt it made them fashionable. The same will happen with Grimes unless we get together as a fanbase to say our judgment of Grimes' worth has nothing to do with the fact she happens to be critically acclaimed right now (because she might not always be).

Do you really think the current consensus that Grimes is both an artistic genius and an unimpeachable exemplar of progressive feminist politics, can hold up under the mass media attention that will come with the real pop hit that she wants/needs sooner or later? The bigger your hits, the more haters. Grimes peaked at #36 on billboard album charts. that's nothing. her highest charting single was outside the hot 100. she is not Pop... yet. the haters are around, they have allies in the press, and they're biding their time until she becomes truly Pop (with the trajectory she's on, this is only a matter of time, unless she abruptly quits her career before finishing the AA tour).

There are certain parts of the media who feel entitled to Grimes putting blatant politics above music (which she will never do because as a true artist she expresses politics only through music) and furthermore, who feel entitled to Grimes matching her politics to theirs exactly. These critics (largely middle aged white women, one Latina as well) may well insist on Grimes continuing to rep one particularly dated type of feminism that, as recent weeks made very clear, she has issues with. If she continues on her current course and refuses to bow down and subordinate her art to these unimaginative critics (and she has so far, even under immense pressure, and probably will keep refusing) they will destroy her. Not because they're feminist and feminists are evil or something- she's strongly feminist too, just has a different definition of it. No, the reason they'll destroy her is that this is how the Internet works, whatever your ideology. People who oppose feminism altogether feel entitled to destroy feminists, and people who have different definitions of feminism (or anything else) feel entitled to destroy each other. If you don't follow a party line exactly, whatever party line it is, you'll be destroyed.

Now your post has not much to do with feminism, and since feminism is what her haters used in order to build her up, it is probably going to be the issue her haters try to use to destroy her now that she's "back on the shelf" (this may involve anti-feminist MRWs who hate her, actually teaming up with misandrist feminists who hate her- united in their Grimes hate) but every little bit of ammunition helps empower Grimes haters, so pointing out hypocrises over other issues helps empower the haters to speak up that they hate Grimes. Grimes' recent rejection of a certain type of feminism (the type favored by many of those critics, and which they make money from by writing click bait) makes backlash inevitable soon. The only thing preventing a huge Grimes backlash right now is that she isn't truly popular yet, so any haters are still holding off writing about her, knowing there's not a market yet for a vicious anti-Grimes piece because right now the people who are aware of Grimes are mostly her fans. If she'd dropped the California video at Coachella, that might have pushed her up to a more mainstream level. But that may happen any minute. Your approach to being a fan is an interesting one- a "fan" who empowers her haters to destroy her on grounds you yourself admit are silly, while pretending to be supporting her.
