I dont think that denying and ignoring the gay community in Russia is cool, shestateson Tumblr.
It doesnt hurt the government if I refuse to tour there.
So I dont think its wrong to be doing this.
Refusing to go to Russia would only hurt fans.
The announcement comes partially in the form of her posting a picture throwing up the Roc diamond on Tumblr.
People might read that and think its a cool thing to emulate.
I hope you know you are doing the world a disservice.

I always hate the songs that are the singles.

Maybe Ill finally get back intoDark Souls, if that song ever comes out.
Shes there for a while days, allegedly.
We planned the song coming out months ago, and she was preventing it, Poppy states.
She doesnt practice what she preaches.
Its actually very disheartening to people that are actually feminists and supporters of other females.
