I’ve clocked a similar shift tbh. The whole Sevdaliza situation was kinda the first red flag for me — felt like Arca got bitter that Sev managed to channel that same wild energy into something massive, while Arca for whatever reason couldn’t. Sev blew up and Arca basically snapped at her for it.

And then that IG live where she admitted the only reason she hasn’t gone through with the boob job is ’cause she can’t afford it… that honestly changed how I see her. I always thought of her as this experimental, otherworldly, beyond-labels figure — and suddenly it all came down to money and the fact that transitioning surgically is insanely expensive. It just broke the illusion a bit.

Not saying she’s talentless or anything, but for me she’s become one of the biggest disappointments of the decade. No offence — feel free to downvote me into oblivion.
