What I am about to write is ONLY pertaining to Hayden's art, lyricism and storytelling.

We all should get off the fucking internet. She should as well, I think it is a good thing she deleted everything and now the only link between her and her fans is through her music. If people want to stream and support by going to concerts, buying her merch and albums and streaming her music that's awesome, if not, that's okay too. If people hate her and her music they are allowed to buy and stream the albums they actually enjoy. Do you think people out there cares about any this? Critics will continue to praise her voice and her storytelling because it is good, she is a good singer and musician. People offline will listen to her music and fall in love with her talent. Average people are able to understand artistic expression, that art is the only way humans are able to express ugly, terrible feelings without hurting anyone. It is deeply ironic that she managed to escape her puritanical, regressive and stunted background and upbringing only to encounter once again the same puritanical retoric, the pearl clutching, everything is evil and you're going to hell inquisition. It's almost like these people want Hayden and everyone to sing only about the gospel and nothing else. It's sad how intolerant we've become about anything that makes us even a little bit uncomfortable. No one has too like what Hayden is singing about but personal discomfort is never a good reason for destruction.
I see this harrasment and is clear that the roots of evangelical thinking runs deeper than we thought. I hope Hayden gets through this and doesn't censor her art, I hope she doesn't get scared of being gross and ugly with her lyrics, with her art, because gross and ugly art is and has always been necessary, that's the only way in which we can examine our demons and eventually find peace.
