A long statement about doja cat

I've been a fan of doja since the 2020 era and I've dove into her music since then.

I love how she's addressing all the hate she's gotten since she "quit music" in her new single "Attention".

I never thought her shaving her head was weird. I never thought it made her ugly. I never understood why people were so quick to jump to the conclusion that she had gone crazy and that her behavior was insanely out of the norm.

Doja has always been a silly girl. She went viral for a meme, let's get serious folks. She always posts funny pictures of herself and her tiktok account was doing numbers because of how goofy she was on there.

But because she wants to express herself in a way that appeals to her and because she wants to rock a hairstyle according to her own comfort (she said that she was never a fan of the way hair felt), now it's ok to bash her?

I would be fed up too if i were her.

people constantly want to demonize her regarding her new tattoos. people were quick to associate Lil Nas X with satanism when he came out. so of course you know a king had to do some satire shit and release montero on these haters.

the tattoos that doja got were artwork of creatures that were different. i believe doja got them because she saw herself similar to the creatures. they were misunderstood for being different but really they were just beautiful and unique.

vibe.com says "She also added an explanation noting that the figure is not 'demonic,' but actually is a symbol of imperfection. It is part of Fortunio Liceti’s 1616 artwork of 'monsters,' formally titled De Monstris. Public Domain Review—a non-profit organization dedicated to the exploration of the history of art and literature—reported, 'Licenti did not see deformity as something negative, as the result of errors or failures in the course of nature. Instead he likened nature to an artist who, faced with some imperfection in the materials to shape, ingeniously created another form still more admirable.'"

doja was really pushed to the edge with the way the media was reacting to her self-expression. and i honestly feel like she dealt with it in a good manner.

im so happy she came out with the song attention because it also shows how with the attention of being famous, there are a lot of ups and downs. we can clearly see that doja chooses to stay doing her thing because frankly, she does not care what people choose to believe about her.

¿Una de Huesos, que mienten más que las piedras del Cementerio?

Dibujo anatómico de siameses. Fortunio Liceti, De monstris, Amsterdam 1665 La edad heroica de la taxonomía biológica ya queda lejos, pero la anatomía como principio explicativo aún es bien capaz de insertar con una especial fuerza de convicción a cualquier criatura del mundo legendario en el nuestro actual.
