innocent fairy prince sullied & sexualised by music business is certainly a trope on JN messageboards
she's been singing about sex (albeit: weirdly) since her first album!

From the review ksh just linked -- is this an indirect response to J0hn D.'s comment, upthread?
EW: Some people do look at a song as a chore if it’s over 10 minutes. They might say, “This is good, but I have to warn you—it’s ten minutes long and has a harp.”JN: (laughs) Yeah, I understand that, but of course when a person writes music—I guess this isn’t the case with some death metal music where the intention is slightly different—but in general I feel when someone’s writing something it’s because it sounds good to them. Their instinct is to do what sounds pretty, and sounds good, and to me that’s what I do. So obviously when I hear it I go, “good job, self, you’ve made a song that sounded the way you want it to sound.” And then of course there’s not that many people who feel the same way about it. But there’s enough.

For reference, J0hn's comment:
yeah if I'm listening to 13-minute epic songs in a rock/pop mode they better have a shredding solo and some wicked distortion or I want my money back, that is just how I break it down to an extent

it is true that a lot of women reserve a special level of distaste for her. though maybe that's just "a lot of _people_"??

"I'm leaving you.""Why?""I, umm...you know what? I'm in love with that singer you love so much.""Joanna Newsome?""Yeah, Joanna Newsome. I love her too much to be with you any more. You understand, right?""Yeah! Absolutely!""Cool. I sent Joanna Newsome the money I owe you, too, OK?""Of course!""You're the best. See you at the Joanna Newsome show next fall?""See you there!"scene

Yeah she seems to have a pretty big fanbase among 20-something women. Not sure where this "women hate her" thing comes from.

oh for sure!, but there's a cultish sect perturbed by her departing from the insular world they imagined her in. i recall reading up on her australian shows and just about getting some idea of a setlist in between fans reassuring one another that she was wearing her hair down, wasn't wearing any high-fashion clothes or hotpants, etc etc. i wrote & deleted a long post cataloguing some of these insane JN-fan insecurities awhile ago, it's kinda hard to preserve anonymity. they're particularly frenzied re: baby birch.
